2. Initial Reaction
• I feel like I good at endless runners because I have the most experience playing them on my
phone; so I know how it works better than I know other game category’s. I could make an
endless runner, stay in my comfort zone and perform really well. Or I could do a different
type of game like a rpg game from birds eye view and make it look pretty cool but it wont
have as well graphics because of the time I have. I am going to do a lobby area as well so it
will look like real game play.

Mind map:

3. Mood Board

4. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• Yes. Firstly there is a lot of white/light colours. This is because for the final product I
want it to has a happy or fun mood to it because the game is about people having fun.
However for the gun game I have chosen dark photos because the game is more about
death and killing.
• I have gone fore a more cartoony looking characters because I think that they would
look a lot better than less detailed characters.
• With the mood I have gone half dark and half light for the two types of games I was
wanting to do.
• There are a lot of props on the mood board because they are really important to the
game.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• I now know how my styles are going to be, they will be more
cartoony, the mood board helped me because it has allowed me to
see both genre/mood of each types. I really think that I will be a lot
more detailed with the lighter one than darker.
