The student created a space-themed backdrop and planet using Photoshop tools like the shape and eyedropper tools to make a perfect circle. They added depth to the planet by coloring the circle and darkening part of it with shading, making it appear three-dimensional. For their final game, the student plans to use similar shading and circle techniques but will alter the backdrop and create a new planet.

1. Experiments
Your Name

2. Process
The process began with me creating a
black backdrop to suggest that the
setting was space. I then created a
planet as I knew that I wanted a space
themed game. I wanted to be able to
understand how to create a perfect
circle and so I used the shape tool in
Photoshop. I then wanted to add
depth using shadows and so I coloured
the entire circle. I then used the
eyedropper tool to pick out the colour
and darkened the shade a little. I then
shaded about a third of the circle in
and it made the object seem three
dimensional

3. Reflection
I will use the same techniques when creating a
planet in my final game such as shading and
using the circle tool to make things easier.
However it wont be the one I have created
already. Another thing I will probably alter is the
backdrop. Black just seems too jarring and
makes the game seem bland and two
dimensional.
