3. The reason for choosing those images was because they fitted around the theme of game I chose which was to
make a side scrolling shooter. The original plan was to make a horror but I have later decided to not do a horror.
Most of the images that I had chosen where all apocalyptic themed and all had a cartoony pixel art look to
them. The top left image of the street is one that I will most likely take inspiration from as I like the look of it as
well as the style. The idea is to make my game somewhat similar to that and have a character moving forwards
down an alley whilst you have to shoot zombies. I did say that it was going to be aliens but looking at alien pixel
art, it looks hard to do. Therefore, I am going to do zombies. One of the images that I gathered is pf a colour
palette that I liked from the website Paletton.com, where you can make a palette of colours for yourself.
Looking back at a lot of the images I don’t think that I will make my game similar to many of them, apart from
the top left one as that is what I am basing my pixel art game off.

8. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Drink spilt all over the keyboard, can cause the
keyboard to stop working and leave a mess.
Don’t drink near the computers, if you need a
drink go away from the computers.
The power could go off at any moment,
therefore people losing their work.
Make sure that you save your work every so
often, so if this does happen you can just load
up the most recent save and you don’t have to
start again.
The place where I usually save my work to can
not be accessed therefore I have lost my work.
Make sure that I save my work work in at least
two different places, therefore if I lose one of
them, I can load up the other.
When editing my video game through Premiere
Pro CC, a file could be missing therefore it not
showing up in the video game clip.
I would the have to locate the file in my
document and make sure that it is selected
when loading up Premiere Pro and it should ask
me where that file is. If I can’t find it then I will
have to use something else.
9. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Wires layered across the floor, making them a
trip hazard, as students may not see them when
walking to or from their macs.
Any wires that run across the floor will either
need to be tucked away or make sure the class
knows about them so they don’t trip over.
Bags placed out on the floor also being a trip
hazard for students.
Make sure that all students have their bags
tucked away under their desks, out of the way.
Chairs not under desks, making them a hazard
as someone may not see it whilst walking and
walk into it.
Check that all chairs are under desks.
Electrical sockets overloaded with plugins
causing a fire hazard and unused chargers have
been left in and turned on. This could cause an
electrical fire.
Double-check that all sockets are turned off, if
not in use, and that there are know chargers
plugged in if not been used. Also make sure that
there is not too many chargers plugged into a
socket as it could overload and cause a fire.
Someone leaning back on their chair which
could cause them to fall backwards and hit their
head.
Make sure that I don’t lean back on my chair.
Your back hurts as your chair is not properly
adjusted.
Make sure that your chair has an adjustable
seat height and lift your seat higher or lower so
that you are comfortable, and your eyes are at
the right level with your computer.
Editor's Notes
Explore colours and pixel art styles similar to what you want to produce. Discuss these elements in relation to why you chose them and where you may use them in your project. Go over as many pages as you need to.
Mock up of a potential design using the colours and sourced images. Alter this slide to make it appropriate for your planned product types. Use the content established in your style sheet to do this.
