This document outlines the pre-production planning for a basketball video game, including color schemes, fonts, and layouts to be used. Potential issues and solutions are identified relating to storage, internet access, design changes, and document backups. Health and safety concerns around stress, dehydration, cramping, and eye strain are addressed. An 8-day schedule is provided to design characters, layouts, add details and animation using Photoshop.

1. Pre-Production
Jack Reagan-Wallis

2. Style sheet
This is a colour scheme of the NBA teams,
the colours here are what they use for there
home and away jerseys. I will follow one of
these schemes depending on the player and
team I use in my game.
This font is used by the Bulls and is a
contender for the font I will be using in
my game. It is bold and strong which can
help it stand out on the screen whilst
other stuff is going on.
These numbers are
used by Miami Heat for
their jerseys. This font I
may use to display the
score, timer etc.

3. Layout 1
Side view of court
and player, left
hand side has
player, the right
side has the
basket.
Background has
scenery that can
change from city
view, to street
courts and the
beach. The score
and timer text is
used with the font
I showcased on
the style sheet,
the numbers were
also used by the
font I showed.

4. Layout 2
This layout shows the game
played from a different
angle. Instead of the game
being viewed from the side,
this one is shown from the
perspective of the player.
The game is played by
swiping up the ball and
aiming it at the hoop. The
scenery is different with this
layout, the aim is too have
graffiti on the walls behind
the basket and backboard.
The area that this court is
placed is a street
environment, which means
in the final piece, I will add
detail such as litter, graffiti
and other extras.
