Style (similar products and graphical style):
What product is yours similar to? Why have you used it for inspiration?
Discuss this in relation to conventions and art style
I used some of the simple, light hearted advergames that google displays on special occasions as
inspiration for my Halloween themed advergame. It’s similar because it’s a simple concept with
simple mechanics, but still has an air of fun too it.
Audience:
Who is your audience? Be very detailed; age, gender, social status, psychographic etc
Why would your product appeal to this person?
14 – 25 age range, all genders, D, C2, C1 and B social status because the age range of our target
audience fits into the bands of work. The advergame would appeal to this age range because they

Legal & Ethical Considerations:
Think about any offensive material you will include?
There is nothing offensive about a ghost collecting Coca-Cola cans.
Will you restrict younger audiences engaging with it?
Maybe, but only because they cannot use the technology needed to play the game.
Will it offend any social groups/religions/ethnicities?
No, Halloween offends no religion. Either do ghosts.
How will you ensure you do not offend anyone?
I have researched into how any of the topics displayed in my game could perhaps offend anyone
or group but couldn’t find anything.
Is your product using characters/names/logos of existing ones?
No, the only character is a generalised ghost.
Will your product be sufficiently different from existing ones to not get sued for copyright
infringement and how have you achieved this?
Yes it is different enough – I have looked through over advergames and mini-games, and couldn’t
find anything similar to the one I had created.
