Graphic design
Ryan Worcester created various marketing assets for the mobile game "Snake Escape" over the course of several months. This included designing an app icon, t-shirt, stickers, poster, and Twitter page.

The final assets were evaluated against similar existing products and for fitness of purpose. Worcester also created box art and additional graphic designs.
111 physicsdynamics research
This document discusses physics and animation techniques used in video games. It describes physics engines that simulate rigid body and soft body dynamics to increase realism. While 3D animation and motion capture have advanced significantly, full realism has not been achieved due limitations such as inability to adapt captured motions to different environments. Facial motion capture in particular remains challenging to implement realistically. Particle systems are also discussed as a method to simulate explosive effects and other phenomena using simulated individual points.

Ryan took inspiration from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy for the animation style and dark humor. He tested the animation with his target audience of 16-18 year old fans of dark humor and received positive feedback on the humor, characters, and professional visuals. Ryan used Photoshop to create animation elements and After Effects to animate them.
Graphic design evaluation
The document evaluates the graphic design work done to promote a mobile game called Snake Escape. It compares the poster, t-shirt, and sticker designs to existing examples from other games. Feedback was received that prompted changes to declutter the poster, make the game more accessible, and unite the visual elements of the stickers. The work was done using pencil, Photoshop, Illustrator, and a graphics tablet to design assets and products for promoting the game. While the t-shirt design fits its purpose to promote brand recognition, the app icon design may need changes based on further feedback to better fit the target audience and game.

Comic panels transitions
This document describes the transitions between shots in a video or sequence of events. It provides examples of different types of transitions, such as subject-to-subject, action-to-action, scene-to-scene, and aspect-to-aspect transitions.

Mag ownership and distribution
This document summarizes the ownership, structure, distribution methods and analysis of 3 magazines: Total Film, Little White Lies, and Sight and Sound.
Total Film is published by Future Publishing and has a wide physical and digital distribution to maximize revenue.

Sight and Sound is published by the non-profit British Film Institute and focuses on being a record of UK cinema, so it has not rushed to go fully digital like Total Film.

History of film magazines
Kine Weekly was a UK film industry trade magazine established in 1889 that provided news, reviews, and box office data to those working in film production and exhibition. It ceased publication in 1971 after being absorbed by its American rival, Today's Cinema. Today's Cinema was later rebranded as Screen International in 1975, which continues as the UK's main industry publication. Fan magazines like Motion Picture Story Magazine and Picturegoer evolved from focusing solely on film plots and stars respectively to include more lifestyle content as television rose to prominence in the 1950s. Today, magazines like Empire have found success engaging male audiences with serious film criticism alongside coverage of popular culture.
Draft designs feedback
The client provided feedback on the draft designs for stickers, a poster, and a t-shirt to promote a new game. For the stickers, the client suggested linking the characters together through color or design to show they are from the same game. For the poster, the client recommended moving the snake character, adding gameplay screenshots, and using a QR code instead of app store text. Finally, the client thought adding color could improve the black and white t-shirt design showing the game icon. Based on this feedback, the designer will make revisions like linking sticker characters, adjusting the poster layout, and exploring colored versions of the t-shirt design.
Focus
The photographer took photos around Baldock to showcase its natural beauty, focusing close-ups of plants and leaves while keeping backgrounds like a footpath out of focus. Another photo highlights a pink flower against a blurred green background to draw the eye to the focal point and convey a summer atmosphere through contrasting colors. Both photos demonstrate an understanding of depth of field to direct the viewer's attention.
Composition
The document discusses the composition of two photographs according to the rule of thirds. The first photo of a restaurant positions the sign along the left third to attract attention, with the building in the middle third and walkway on the right third. The second photo of countryside splits into thirds with a foreground hill, further hill, and horizon line dividing the sky and trees. Both photos demonstrate effective composition adhering to the rule of thirds.
Lighting
The first paragraph discusses a photo of a church where the flare of sunlight in the top left corner helps express the sunny weather and brightens the church to appeal to visitors. The blue sky and white clouds add to the happy feeling. The second paragraph discusses a photo of a woodland area where enhancing the burst of light through the leaves in Photoshop creates a nice shot and the dark shadows express that the sun is bright and the weather is warm, which could attract visitors interested in long walks.
Breaking bad tshirt groups
This document discusses different t-shirt designs targeted at varying levels of Breaking Bad fans. One shirt is aimed at mainstream fans who enjoy the show enough to buy a related shirt, though hardcore fans will notice differences from the official logo. Another shirt targets die-hard fans through use of a less prominent logo first seen in season 5, meaning the audience must be familiar with details up to that season.
Titanfall production pipeline
The document outlines the production chain for the video game Titanfall, including the distributor who distributes the game to retailers, the developer who creates the game, the publisher who markets and publishes the game, the retailer who sells the game to consumers, and the consumer who buys and plays the game. Each entity in the production chain plays a specific role in bringing the game to market.
