I just wanted to make one more post with a little more reflection on what was hard about this project. First of all, it was pretty fast paced but me and Elizabeth worked everyday so we handled that pretty well. The thing we struggled with most was getting the right things done because they had to be done before other stuff could get done (if that makes sense). Also, just learning the new programs was hard. I am pretty familiar with photoshop but indesign and illustrator were completely new to me so it's nice to know a little bit more about them. Printing was a bit of a struggle too, but at least we could work on all our pieces while we were waiting on the printers to cooperate. I was most overwhelmed at the beginning and the end, but everything turned out to be okay. When Amber first told us that a whole type face was due the day after we learned how to make one, I was so freaked out, but I got it done like usual. And the last couple days of working on touch ups and packaging, I thought we would never see the end.
Something interesting to think about for me is how each group fit their game so well. If we had had different partners, none of the games we have now would have been produced.
And since Elizabeth and I worked so hard on character development, I thought I'd give them a little more attention by matching my classmates with which one they would most likely be. It's like high school superlatives!
Pete - farmer, no doubt.
Jen - kid
Susannah - mom
Caitlin - theif
Kelly - I'd say you were the friendly neighbors, even though they aren't an official character
Elizabeth - magician, she'd look fly with a beard
Will - yak impostor obviously
Griff - I'm having a hard time with this one, but I think I'm going to go with farmer.
Betsy - mom
Amber - (I hope this doesn't affect my grade) I'd say you are a farmer.

that yoohoo was gross ewwwww
well your game was cool, the packaging was super awesmo, fun flavor text, good sense of humor. Very successful. You get a prize.
pete's a liar. he is SUCH a farmer. he and griff and amber can be farmerfriends.
your game turned out well though. i'm glad you took our suggestions and revisited some things. the packaging is awesome.
Yay, I'm a friendly neighbor!
Pink Milk was an awesome game. You guys should get that thing in stores. I would really enjoy playing it with my friends, who I know would love it, too.
The color coding definitely helped out, though. And the packaging was excellent. Great job!
Btw, I still have some of that Yoohoo! =P
So Courtney,
I am a mom. THANKS! haha. just kidding. That's fine, the mom made pink milk for her child, that is awesome of her, making me awesome, so thank you. However, I did not taste your guys' pink milk because I don't do strawberries, or milk so much, and combined... yikes. :) BUT I thought it was definitely a cute touch to your game. I think your guys' game turned out very well! The packaging was awesome and worked really well with how the game was played. And I love the Nutrition facts! Your game was very creative and I enjoyed playing it!
Betsy
I think that I am actually very obviously the magician.
Obvious facial hair and everything.
Courtney Courtney Courtney...see what happens when you go out on a limb and label everyone :). Ya, ok, I'm a farmer (but secretly I want to be the magician...and felt like the mom at times).
Your game is a great example of emotional transference: you had fun creating the game (I know one of you peed your pants laughing), and that enjoyment transfered to the people who had the pleasure of playing your game.
Bonus presentation points for bringing pink milk to set the mood of the game!
yeah wait why is betsy a mom?
and yes i know i totally get the magician... but you are totally the yak imposter or the pink milk...totally!!!
pete knows he love sitting on too cool for school stools!
