Photoshop timeline.
• The Advergame is for Coca Cola so I’ve got to
include Coca Cola themes within this
Advergame.
• It’s at a low resolution so I presume its ment
to have a retro/8bit look to it (Simple look)
16. Initial Reaction
• Strengths of using this method
– It gives sufficient information to be able to make a game as it describes what they're
looking for which is a pixel based side scrolling game for Coca-Cola.
• Weaknesses of using this method
– You don’t get a lot of information to give you a vivid idea of what to do so you may end
up making something of which isn't useful or related to what Coca Cola are looking for.
• Did you like using this method? Why?

ideas however I do like to get onto the project as soon as I can so I can get it done and
dusted.

Helps us cover our target audience and the legal and ethical considerations so our
product is appropriate for the public

This was time consuming as we had to cater to all of these requirements to satisfy
everyone and this is bad as its very time consuming by how we have to make tweaks if
we missed something out
- Did you like using this method? Why?
Yes, because it helped us find out certain laws and religious issues that we can avoid
whilst making our game in case we used some sort of product placement which the
company may not have given consent to
