2. Initial Reaction
• 2D/Pixel art or possibly cel-shading
• Could work on all platforms – windows/android/ios
• 16-19 year olds is an easier age range since I should be able to appeal to my target
audience better
• Pixel art could be intentionally blocky or detailed depending on context
• Combine run game and side scroll?
• Collecting items reward style?
• If on mobile is it portrait or landscape, would on screen controls disrupt player’s
view
• Telltale play style or movement control?
6. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• Blue seemed to be a repeated colour in terms of the penguin
being associated ice and water which is usually represented
by blue or white. I made sure to stick to a pixel art type theme
with references to how my character could move for when I’m
creating my own. Overall the mood is happy and light hearted
so players can have fun rather than it being more focused on
playing through a narrative.
