2. Style sheet
• On this photo we can see a pixel art stadium. The reason why I
included this on my style sheet is because it has a very basic layout
which I believe I will be able to replicate myself.
• I also chose this photo because it is viewed from an angle that will be
very similar to my game, so it will be easier to replicate the stadium.
• The fans also move in a very basic motion on the game shown, which
should easy enough to include if I create enough layers on
Photoshop.
• This game uses the biggest stars in football, such as
Cristiano Ronaldo as shown on the photo. I also intend
on replicating footballers on my game, however I do not
believe they will look as similar as this.
• I also intend on replicating the design of my players very
similar to the photo shown, as I want them to have very
large and noticeable heads with small bodies.
• The final photo I will be including in my style sheet looks incredibly
similar to how I intend on designing my game due to the camera angle,
the pitch layout and the timer.
• I also chose this photo because I really like the colors schemes that are
running through the image. The pitch is very vibrant and the stadium is
fully of different colors. I would also like to apply lots of vibrant colors to
give my audience that extra sense of excitement whilst playing, because
I know myself from being a gamer that colors can really change the
mood of a game, which is seen through the game Limbo for example.

7. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
The first potential issue I could face is the
computer turning off before I saved my work.
After each important step I proceed through
my video game I will save my work so that I
won’t lose anything important.
The next potential issue I could face is not
being able to find the sound effects I need for
my video game online.
I will record the sound effects I need and then
import them onto the computer using a
memory card.
Another issue I could face whilst making my
video game is being unable to attend college
due to illness.
I have a MacBook at home that has all of the
Adobe applications stored on it, so if I’m ill I can
still complete my work.
I might also decide that I don’t like my game
design after I have already started designing it.
I have a backup design layout in case I don’t or
can’t make my first design.
What if I don’t complete it in time? I will export it all over email so that whatever
hasn’t been completed can then be completed
over the Easter holiday in the unlikely event I do
not finish my work.
What if I can’t use soundtracks due to
copyright?
I will ensure I don’t make my work public so
that I can’t get copyrighted.
8. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
I might get a headache if I spend too much
time on the computer designing my game.
Have breaks in between to avoid receiving a
headache.
I might receive cramp if I am sat down for too
long.
Make sure I stretch in between breaks to
loosen up my muscles.
I might get blurry vision if I look at the screen
for too long on the computer.
Try and prevent looking at screens on your
break so that you eyes don’t start hurting.
What if a drink spills on the cable or keyboard. Make sure that if I am thirsty I drink away from
the computer to ensure I don’t spill it on the
cable or keyboard.
What if I trip over a cable? I will make sure all cables are safely placed
under the desk so there is no possible way I will
trip over it.
What if I damage my back by leaning over for so
long?
I will try and sit up as straight as I can for as
long as I can to prevent damaging my back.
Editor's Notes
Explore colours and pixel art styles similar to what you want to produce. Discuss these elements in relation to why you chose them and where you may use them in your project. Go over as many pages as you need to.
Mock up of a potential design using the colours and sourced images. Alter this slide to make it appropriate for your planned product types. Use the content established in your style sheet to do this.
