• I am going to create an advergame on Photoshop for coca
cola. The advergame will have an animation. It will be created
with pixel art. The game is based on coca cola so the game will
incorporate coca cola in some way to advertise coca cola.
Firstly I will make some sketches to get a rough idea of how
the game will look. Then we will put the game together with

with the work as I was unsure on how to use the software to
create the game.
