The document outlines the pre-production planning for an animated pixel art game. It discusses the color palette, fonts, layouts, characters, locations, and schedule. Green, brown, and blue colors were selected to represent grass, poop, and sky/eyes. Pixel art examples were shown. The game involves a cat avoiding poop dropped by an old woman who moves sideways. The schedule allocates 8 days to create backgrounds, characters, items, and animate the game. Contingency plans address technical issues like memory stick or computer failure.

2. Style sheet
I think that I will use these three colours
the most because of the setting I have
decided to create in my product. The
green will represent the grass in the
garden, the brown will represent the
poo the needs to avoid in order to
survive the game and the blue will
represent the sky and colour of the old
lady's eyes.
The pixel art
shows the type of
work I want to
produce when
creating my own
pixel art cat.
These three fonts
would work well with
my genre game
because of the
childish appearance
they have. This would
help draw attention to
my target audience
and maybe draw to
parents that could
introduce this game
to their children.

3. Layout 1
Title would slide across
the screen until gamer
started to play the
game.
The old
woman would
move
sideways and
drop poo that
the cat must
avoid in order
to continue
the game.
This images
represents the type
of cat I want to
create in my final
piece.

6. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
memory sticks breaks emails all updated work to the tutor at the end
of every lessen to ensure your work stays safe.
computer has a technical failure, meaning all
your work is lost.
back all work up as many times as possible,
using different methods to ensure your work
will be safe.
Photoshop malfunctions Before using the software make sure there area
warnings around the computer warning you of
potential issues
I could fall ill I would try and do as much work as possible at
home but it would be difficult because you
might not have Photoshop at home.
work loss during production save work regularly so that of computer breaks
when doing work you will know that you will
have only lost a small amount of work.
designs don’t work with the animation back up animations

7. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
computer could have an electrical fault and

eye strain take short breaks so that eyes can rest.
back pain make sure you have adjusted seats according
to your own comfort in order to prevent the
issue
Could spill water on desk causing sparks and
potential shock hazards

electronic equipment in classrooms in order to
minimise the this risk.
trip over chair as you leave the classroom make sure to tuck chair in under table to
minimise this risk.
