The document describes a concept for a ghost game created in Photoshop. The game would be a point-and-click shooter where the player zaps ghosts through multiple levels and boss fights. The levels are color-coded in the order of the rainbow, from white to violet, and players earn points to upgrade their character's outfit, health, gun, and other abilities. The concept was hand-drawn using a 1-pixel pencil and color wheel in Photoshop.

Initial Plans
The document discusses a mood board analysis for an initial game planning project. The mood board images are similar in using bright colors for Candy Crush and dark colors for Space Invaders and Asphalt Nitro to make characters stand out. The colors and characters from the mood board games will influence the final product by providing guidance on color selection and characters to use to ensure recognizability and ease of reference.
Initial Plans
Initial Plans
When Simran Jabbai heard that the first rotation was video games, she felt like she could improve on her previous game project. She realized she would need to design a 2D side-scrolling game and think about appealing to her target audience. As she doesn't play many games, Simran found it difficult to choose a game type that would appeal to others. She created mind maps exploring three initial game ideas and one final match game concept involving horoscope symbol tiles. Simran analyzed her mood board images for repetition of colors, styles and moods to influence her final product's design.
1. initial plans (lf) visual
The document outlines initial plans for a project that includes creating a mind map and mood board. It asks questions about any repetition in the images collected for the mood board and how the mood board will influence the final product. The response notes that horror game covers use dark colors like black and brown with some green, and first person shooter games have darker box covers but lighter in-game colors. It also states the mood board helped with image placement and the color scheme planned is oranges, blues, and blacks, as those were most popular in the mood board.
2. initial plans (completed)
Alfie Pimblett is planning to create an 8-bit video game. He is considering adventure, action, or horror genres. Alfie is skilled at creating pixelated characters and backgrounds in Photoshop. He enjoys the nostalgia and simple strategies of 8-bit games. Alfie's mind map shows he will create a sci-fi maze game set on an alien planet where the player character must navigate mazes to reach destinations while avoiding enemies. There will be two maze levels of increasing difficulty. Alfie's mood board influences the retro, nostalgic style with nature themes and predominantly blue colors. His schedule outlines research, production, and evaluation over 5 weeks to create the game.
3. production experiments 5
The document describes experiments done for a ghost game project in Photoshop. It drew a white background maze using the pencil tool. A blue ghost animation was made using the pixel tool and frames. A "game over" screen was created by filling a blue shape and drawing the text in pixels. The reflection notes the blue ghost and end screen color will be included in the final product, along with the maze background but made neater.
Project 4 - Initial plans
Luke Nicholson created initial plans and mind maps for two potential game projects - a 2D open world survival RPG set in modern day where the player encounters hostile creatures and NPCs that can help or threaten them, and a 2D indie horror platformer with a player-driven story featuring dark, spooky characters that chase the player who could take on the role of the bad guy. Luke also created a mood board analyzing repeated dark, ominous tones and colors to convey surviving unknown threats that will guide the design of the final product.
2. research final
This document summarizes research on existing maze-based games targeted at young audiences aged 12-16. It finds that the games have similar backgrounds, icons, colors, gameplay mechanics where the goal is to collect objects in a maze. They also give off a retro feel and use pixels for graphics. The document notes it will include different aspects of the existing games researched, such as characters, backgrounds, and friendly, contrasting colors to attract the target audience. The game will aim to appeal to both males and females and those seeking to achieve all objectives in the game.

Kieran Bradley is developing an adventure game set in London where a toxic illness has broken out and the player must escape the city before turning into a zombie. Kieran is also developing a horror game where the male player character runs away from demons and ghosts while collecting survival items. However, Kieran has chosen to develop a retro-style Pacman game where the player controls Pacman to eat iPhones and tablets on a maze-like background while avoiding enemy characters. Kieran's mood board includes dark, arcade-style images in yellow to influence the retro design and mood of the Pacman game.

1. initial plans
The document outlines initial plans for three game ideas:
1) A first-person maze game where the player's character is revealed at the end.
2) An action rhythm game where the player must choose the right character at the right time to progress through obstacles and levels, with each character having a unique ability.
3) A puzzle game similar to Tetris where the player changes gravity by rotating and flipping the stage.
3. production experiments(2)
The experiments goes over the processes used to make the experiment for my product. I also discuss the tools used to make it along with the finished version.
1. initial plans(2)[1]
The mood board establishes a color scheme and visual style focused around nebulae, planets, and other space phenomena to set a mysterious tone for a 2D arcade game. Repetitive elements like nebulae, planets, and a color palette of black with various colors are intended to be incorporated into aspects like menus, customization options, and backgrounds. The mood board influences the overall direction of the game by providing visual inspiration and establishing foundational elements to guide further development.
Pre production
The document provides details on the pre-production planning for a space-themed video game. It describes the color scheme and font choices, and explains that black, purple, orange and red were selected to represent space and nebulas, while blue and white give off a glowing color like stars. Image styles and layout designs are presented, showing main menus, gameplay, and background elements like planets and nebulas. A schedule is outlined to develop artwork and animations in Photoshop over 8 days, adding sound in Premier Pro.
2. initial plans 2
The document outlines Jack Bevens' initial plans for creating a new video game. It details his past experiences creating games, which he initially disliked but found more enjoyable with experience. For his new game, he created mind maps with ideas for horror, action, and adventure games, and decided on a zombie horror game. He wrote down more ideas for the zombie game and was happy with his concept. He also created a mood board to influence the look and feel of the final product and outlined a 5-week schedule to develop the game.
3. production experiments(2)
This document summarizes an experiment conducted to create an advergame. It describes the various tools used to create the animation, including the pencil tool, paint bucket, zoom tools, selection tool, and timeline. Colour blending and duplicate layers were used to add effects and animate objects. The background, barriers, and disk were created first before animating the layers on the timeline. For the final product, the author plans to keep the gameplay concept but add features like scoring, make the disk planet-shaped, change the barrier color, include more background scenery and moving objects, and make the disk disappear after a goal rather than stay in the net. The experiment provided useful ideas and feedback for the final project.
Production reflection
Ellie-Warmingham reflects on the process of creating a pixel game animation. She started by choosing colors for the background and character. Everything was drawn on separate layers to make fixes and animation easier. The background includes mountains, bushes, and moving clouds to make it more interesting. Platforms and backgrounds have added shades of the same color for variety. An attempted menu screen was scrapped due to style and text issues. The finished animation includes a character navigating platforms with health and coin counters, within the limitations of pixel art.
1. initial plans(2)
The document discusses initial plans for a project which include a mind map, mood board, and analysis of any repetition in images collected for the mood board as well as how the mood board will influence the final product.
Proposal- Video Game
This proposal outlines a game called "Jungle Escape" targeted towards ages 10-19. The game is a platformer where the player must cross platforms and overcome challenges to reach the end of each level. Tools can be selected at the start to help with obstacles. The game gets progressively harder through layers levels. The creator gained experience with pixel art and timelines in Photoshop from a previous project, which will help develop mechanics and a jungle theme mixed into one appealing game. Evaluation will analyze the visuals, audience appeal, and creation process.
7. evaluation(2)
The document provides an evaluation of Luke Ross's FMP project. It summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of the research, planning, and time management phases. For the research, strengths included analyzing different game designs and focusing on specific audiences. However, some audience demographics were repetitive. For planning, mind maps were helpful for exploring ideas, but the mood board was less so. Managing time well allowed tasks to be completed on time, but rushing the final product and reflection lowered quality. More time would have allowed improvements to graphics, features, and animation.
1. initial plans (interactive)(2)
The document discusses a mood board analysis for an initial game planning project. It notes that the images in the mood board show repetition in dark, atmospheric color schemes and genres focused on 2D platformers exploring and collecting. The pixelated graphics also have a 16-bit style. The mood board will influence the final product by providing inspiration for ideas, character sprites, and color schemes from the games analyzed.
7. production reflection
The document describes the process of creating pixel art characters, weapons, backgrounds and animations for a game. Over several days, the artist created character concepts and walk animations in Photoshop using the pencil tool. Weapons were also designed in pixel art style. Background development included a forest setting with a house for player interaction. Interior details and a non-player character were added to the house. Upcoming work involves animating battle scenes between the player and enemies.
Project 4 Formal Proposal
The document proposes an interactive media product called "Broken Bonds". It is a tactical rogue-lite fantasy game set in a high security prison. Players choose a character for each run and must collect loot and defeat enemies to escape, with progress resetting on death. Gold carries over to purchase upgrades. The player must try multiple characters to advance the interwoven storylines and defeat 5 wardens to break the prison's enchantment. The target audience is mostly male aged 14-30, but all could enjoy it. The proposal draws from the successes of "Hades" and "Divinity Original Sin 2" to create an engaging experience without legal or ethical issues.
3.Production Experiments
The document describes Imogen Minto's process for creating an artwork. It explains that she first added a background color using the paint bucket tool. Then she added green grass by using the pencil tool to place the color. For details in the grass, moon, and stars, she used the color picker tool to make the colors more realistic. To create ghosts and gravestones, she used the color picker tool to select white and gray colors and drew shapes with the pencil tool. In her reflection, she notes that for her final product she will make movement pixel by pixel for smoothness and create each individual piece separately. She also references how the brief for a "Ghost Game" inspired her to include a ghost.
2. initial plans
Ethan Hunter was initially confident in his ability to create a unique video game concept. However, upon starting the process, he is facing difficulties that are challenging his original ideas. All of his game ideas feel unoriginal, and he is limited in the complexity he can achieve using Photoshop, which will result in a very simplistic visual product. This does not align with his goal of creating something complex and intricate. He is struggling to overcome these problems and develop a concept that is unique.
3. production experiments
The document describes the process of creating a ghost game. First, the creator gave the game a grey background and created ledges for the ghost to jump on, some of which were faulty. A red square was made as a safe zone. Then, the ghost was drawn and its animation was set up to move between ledges. For the final product, the creator plans to include using Photoshop again with a character and background and props, as the game involves adventure and risk as the ghost must navigate between ledges to reach safety.
1. initial plans fmp l3
Jake plans to create a 2D side-scrolling video game and box art using Photoshop. The video game will allow the player to switch between four playable superhero characters and upgrade their skills. Each level will have a different setting and enemies will get tougher. There will be three maps total that get progressively more challenging. The box art will showcase the characters in action poses using bright colors to represent the hopeful tone of superheroes.
Proposal of my video game
1. The document proposes a side-scrolling shooter horror video game called "Chaos N Carnage" targeted towards young male adults aged 18-20. It will feature selectable characters and pixel art style graphics inspired by games like Killing Floor 2 and Left 4 Dead.
2. The author has learned Photoshop skills like layers and selection tools to animate characters by placing body parts on different layers. Research on similar horror games will inform the story, characters, and setting.
3. The concept has changed from a survival horror game to a side-scrolling shooter where the player fights and uses the environment against monsters. It will be as gory as possible within a pixel art style and may include
Initial plans (video game project)
Ben Harris outlines initial plans for a video game project. He proposes making a PC game involving character levels that include dodging objects, jumping, climbing, and fighting enemies. His only current idea is inspired by a previous pixel art game he created. Harris then provides more details on his process, including creating a mind map of game ideas, collecting mood board images with dark, post-apocalyptic themes to influence the game's design, and scheduling the major project milestones over five weeks from case studies to production to evaluation.

The document summarizes experiments done to create a ghost game in Photoshop. The author drew a ghost, tree, tombstone, and portal using a pencil tool at 1 pixel size on a 120x80 pixel canvas. They added movement by dragging the ghost and recording new frames on the timeline. For the final product, the author plans to include the video format, size, aim, dark background, start and finish buttons, and some elements from the ghost game though their game will be a fighting game not focused on a ghost.
Proposal
This proposal outlines an advergame targeting 16-19 year olds of both genders from a C2DE social class. The game concept is a tile-matching game similar to Mahjong where the tiles will feature horoscopes. Colors like yellow, red, orange and purple will be used to make the game appealing, colorful and give the impression there is a lot to do. Skills learned from Photoshop like the timeline, shape, and brush tools will be applied to create layers, shapes and boxes for the game. The proposal discusses evaluating the game by comparing it to others and reflecting on research, planning, time management and technical aspects to analyze audience appeal.

4. proposal
The proposal outlines a scary space game targeted towards 16-21 year olds but appealing to all ages. The game would feature multiple levels increasing in difficulty and be based on the Toy Story aliens to attract fans both old and young. Over the year, the creator has improved Photoshop skills like animation and color selection that will aid game development. The side-scrolling, maze-based game tasks the alien character with navigating mazes and combating enemies to collect powerups and points to unlock harder levels. Research into similar games will help with design choices. Progress and room for improvement will be evaluated throughout production and in a final reflection.
4. production experiments (completed)
The document describes the development process of a color matching mini game prototype created in Photoshop. The game requires players to match colors to their duplicates. Screenshots show the initial colors presented and later slides where some color squares are covered by black boxes that players must reveal by selecting them. Reflections discuss how this mini game could potentially be incorporated into the author's main lateral thinking game by changing the memory-based color matching activity and themes to fit the game's scenario and mechanics.
3. production experiments (interactive)
This document summarizes Jessica Crosland's process for creating experiments for a ghost game. In her first experiment, she created a basic background and animated a ghost moving across the screen. Her second experiment had more detailed backgrounds with trees and blocks, and an improved ghost design with added shadows. She found animating pixels and timelines most difficult. For her final product, she plans to include multiple characters chasing each other and improve backgrounds from her experiments.
2. research
The document summarizes research on existing pixelated scroller games like Mario to help inform the development of the client's game. It analyzes common features such as a character that runs through levels fighting enemies. It also notes differences from these games, such as using ghosts instead of Goombas. Key aspects that will be included are the scrolling gameplay, targeting and capturing enemies, and using similar color palettes and texturing. An audience profile targets male students aged 16-18 who have access to mobile gaming.

1. Initial Plans (FMP).pptx
The document outlines initial plans for a pixel game, including three potential ideas. The first idea involves an outdoor maze-style game using light colors. The second is set indoors with darker colors and action music. The third reiterates the second idea. Mood boards are analyzed, showing a repetition of colors/styles to set a bright, outdoor theme. An informal proposal describes the concept as a jumping/dodging game across levels to complete, requiring Photoshop, fonts, and Premiere Pro. Discounted ideas include an indie game and shooting game due to oversaturation in those genres.
Production Reflection
The document describes the process of creating characters, companions, and scenes for a video game. It discusses how the creator based characters on Final Fantasy sprites but made them more realistic. It also describes creating a cat and dog companion, using online images but modifying them. The last scene created shows shadows in a forest with a cut-out tree, providing an entrance and exit to the forest. The creator made a video game case inspired by classic Nintendo games and enjoyed using various Photoshop tools to enhance skills.
5. Proposal
The proposed game "Escaper" is a multiplayer, 2D space-themed game where players defend their home planet from invading enemies. It draws inspiration from retro games like Space Invaders and Pac-Man with a black background and the goal of remaining undefeated. The target audience is ages 15-24 but also appeals to older players who were young when similar old-school games were popular. Research will include analyzing sound effects and color themes from other retro games to replicate the style authentically while adding original elements. Regular self-evaluation will help improve the game at each step and identify what worked well and could be better for the final evaluation.
2. initial plans
The document provides initial plans and ideas for a game design project. It includes 4 potential game ideas: 1) a candy crush-style matching game with power ups and increasing difficulty through levels, 2) a runner game like Super Mario with obstacles, power ups, and health bars, 3) a 2-player football game where players have large heads, and 4) a platform game where the player completes levels while avoiding obstacles and enemies. The document also includes a mood board analyzing common elements across sample game images and a schedule laying out the project timeline over 5 weeks.
Assignment 4
This presentation summarizes the results of the presenter's research to help develop concept art for their final project. They conducted secondary research like a mind map and mood board, as well as primary research through a survey. The survey helped the presenter decide on elements for their fantasy adventure game like using cel-shading graphics, having a treasure hunter as the main character in a jungle setting, and focusing concept art on items. Game research on cel-shaded titles informed the presenter's work on character, environment, and item designs.

They researched similar existing games and worked on drawing backgrounds, characters, and game elements in Photoshop. The student added audio elements in Premiere like music and sound effects. Overall, the student felt they improved from their previous game project and were proud of their progress, though recognized room for improvement in graphics.
2. initial plans (1)
The document describes the student's initial plans and ideas for creating a horror and survival video game as part of a class project. They discuss their interest in the genre and inspiration from games like Resident Evil. The student outlines their idea to create a Resident Evil-style game where the player is trapped in a mansion with enemies and puzzles. They created mood boards and schedules to plan the dark tone and production timeline. The student researched existing horror games to inform their design and listed sources they will use for the project.
3. production experiments
The document describes an experiment creating a ghost video game. The creator used various tools including a pencil brush tool to draw a black background and create a bright, happy ghost. They animated the ghost to pop out and had text slide in and flash to draw attention. Colors were added at the ends of the screen to add more depth. Reflection notes the creator will include using the pencil brush tool to create backgrounds and features, as well as bright colors, in their final product. They will also use the text tool instead of drawing text.
4. proposal
The proposal outlines a video game called "Animatch" targeted at 16-19 year old females and males from middle and working class backgrounds. The game is inspired by Candy Crush and involves matching 3 of the same animal to progress through 3 levels with different animal themes. Previous experience creating video games in Photoshop will help with skills needed. Researching other game styles and details will make the game look realistic but original. A production reflection using screenshots and feedback from others will help evaluate the work.

Evaluation (lvl 3 fmp)
The document provides an evaluation of Joshua Meredith's production process for a clothing line. It summarizes the strengths and weaknesses in his research, planning, time management, technical qualities, aesthetic qualities, audience appeal, and peer feedback. Key points include that his research focused on simple, effective designs from successful brands but could have explored color options more. His planning went well but lacked exploring outside his box of ideas. Time management was poor with last minute work. Peer feedback noted a lack of variety in designs and colors. [END SUMMARY]
Pre production (lvl 3 fmp)
The document discusses armor design for a character. It notes that bulky armor was avoided and references of characters with mechanical armor were reviewed. This provided ideas on what to include and remove to find the right balance of armor for the character. Images of characters with different armor amounts showed how much is too much. The character design process also considered armor color schemes to avoid something too generic like black and white.
Production experiments (fmp)
The document discusses experiments for designing simple graphic t-shirt and hoodie concepts. It shows early sketches of a minimalist character design that will include shading when completed. Screenshots demonstrate sizing the designs on shirt and hoodie templates in the Krita workspace. While two designs are shown, three will ultimately be included - with the top design adding white text next to the female character. The same overall design idea and process using Krita will carry over to the final products, though the hoodie color may change to be consistent with an all-white brand aesthetic.
Research (lvl 3 fmp)
Here are the key points I gathered from the interview:
- Designs should be simple on t-shirts but more complex across hoodies/long sleeves with designs in multiple areas.
- Price range should be affordable with t-shirts around £20 and hoodies/long sleeves up to £60 due to more design/effort.
- Colors for simple designs like t-shirts should be 1-2 colors like white/black. More complex designs could have 3-4 colors like red, black, white which go well together.
- Audience prefers clean, simple designs that aren't overly complicated. More design/effort justifies higher prices on hoodies/long sleeves.
This gives useful insight into what
Proposal (lvl 3 fmp)
This proposal outlines a clothing line project called "Whited" aimed at unisex teenagers. The student has skills in art and design from previous projects and wants to improve upon a clothing line they designed last year. The concept involves character designs that will be translated to t-shirts through detailed linework and shading. Research will include analyzing how other brands like Nike design and market clothing lines. Progress will be evaluated by comparing designs to last year's work and the designs of an actual clothing company. The 10-week schedule outlines tasks from initial research to final evaluations and development.
Initial plans (lvl 3 fmp)
Joshua Meredith plans to improve upon a clothing line project from last year. This year's project will include upper body clothing like shirts and hoodies with unique front and back designs. The color scheme will focus on white shading. The target audience is teenagers, primarily males, as the streetwear style fits their interests. Posters will advertise popular movies and video games in black and white or color. A movie trailer will feature a female superhero protagonist and male villain. Scenes will be edited in post-production. Finally, a clothing store called "Whited" will sell white t-shirts, hoodies, and other items featuring designs made in Krita and finished in Photoshop.
Initial plans (lvl 3 fmp)
The document provides initial plans and reactions for a level 2 project creating a clothing line. It includes a mind map outlining plans for a clothing line featuring unique shirt and hoodie designs primarily in white, as well as posters for movies and video games. A movie trailer is also planned featuring a female superhero protagonist. A mood board is presented with images of white clothing influencing the final clothing store brand called "Whited" featuring white t-shirts, hoodies and other garments.
7. evaluation (video game)
Joshua Meredith evaluated his product, a pixelated video game inspired by Pokemon games. His research of Pokemon games helped him choose which game to base his design on and determine his pixel limits. His planning process involved structuring steps to complete the game, but he could have better organized animations. Time management was done well, leaving extra time to improve the product. The technical qualities of the game included detailed pixel art animations at a smooth frame rate compared to the inspiration game. Aesthetically, the grayscale colors captured the retro feel within pixel limits. The intended teenage boy audience would find appeal due to the game's similarity to popular Pokemon games.
6. production reflection (video games)
The document describes Joshua Meredith's process for creating a pixel art animation. It discusses how he created character concepts using a 1px pencil for an original design. It also explains his animation layout using box slides and copying layers to make the process easier. Finally, it details the tools used, including the pencil, rubber, fill, and text tools to create the pixel art animation in a time efficient manner.
Pre production (video game)
This document provides details for a pre-production plan for a Pokemon-style video game. The target audience is mainly teenage boys who enjoy video games. Sound effects will be created using objects to mimic hits and a ticking clock for health warnings. Contingency plans include using alternate computers if the main one breaks and keeping multiple backups to prevent data loss from file corruption or lost storage. Health and safety concerns of eye strain and hand cramps will be avoided through regular breaks.
4. proposal (video games)
This proposal outlines a pocket monster game called "Monsters: pocket edition" targeted towards teenage boys who enjoy video games like Pokemon. The game would feature retro-style gameplay involving turns-based battles between the player's monster "Dreegom" and an enemy monster "Floof". Over the course of a 3-4 minute animation, the player's monster would battle the enemy monster over 3 turns and gain experience. The proposal describes using skills learned in Photoshop class to design the characters and battle interface, and researching Pokemon games to replicate the style of animations and level of detail. The work will be evaluated by comparing it to existing Pokemon games to identify opportunities for improvement.
3. research (video game)
The document discusses existing video game products that are similar to the game the author is developing. It analyzes Pokemon Red, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Pokemon Diamond, and Pokemon Sword. These games all feature turn-based combat between the player's characters and enemies. While more recent games have improved graphics, animations, and gameplay features, replicating these would require more time than the author's deadline allows. The research was useful for determining what elements can feasibly be included within the time constraints.
2. initial plans (video game)
Joshua Meredith plans to create a Pokémon-style pixel art battle game for his project. He considers a Pokémon, Street Fighter, or Duck Hunt style game and decides Pokémon would be easiest as he is familiar with the gameplay and style. His game will feature two original grayscale characters battling in 3 turns, showing moves, damage taken, and experience gained. He creates a mood board and schedule to guide the project, which will include designing characters, animating moves, and assembling the battle scene over 5 weeks. Research sources will include various Pokémon video games to reference the gameplay style and mechanics.
1. production experiments (video game)
The document describes several animation experiments Joshua Meredith conducted in Photoshop using a 120x80px canvas and a 1px pencil tool. The experiments included a damage animation that bobbed the character up and down, a blinking animation that opened and closed the character's eyes, and a running animation that alternated between legs in different frames. Meredith reflected that the experiments gave him ideas for possible gameplay styles and mechanics, showed how simple but effective animations can be, and provided a starting character design for a potential final product.
Mv production assignment form 1
Joshua generated 5 ideas for music videos using different styles and techniques. The top two ideas were a fully animated music video in the style of Peter Pan or a video combining recorded dance footage with animated effects. After researching examples and considering the time commitment, Joshua selected the animated Peter Pan-style idea as it aligned best with the song's story and his animation skills.
My five year plan (2020 2022)
This document outlines the author's five-year plan from 2020-2022. In 2020, they will focus on completing the first year of their creative media course. In 2021, they will have the option to continue the second year or drop out to explore other options, such as finding a job that provides a good income and fits their abilities. By 2022, the author aims to complete their college course and find a fulfilling career in an area like marketing design, using their strengths to start working towards that goal.
7. evaluation(magazine project)
The document summarizes Joshua Meredith's evaluation of a magazine design project. It discusses the following areas:
Research - Research was easy to access through online magazines and libraries. The research helped with layout and understanding where to place ideas.
Planning - Planning was the easiest part with many options to choose from. The planning didn't change the initial idea but showed other potential options.
Time Management - Time was not managed well, leading to corners being cut as the deadline approached. More time would have allowed for improvements.
Technical/Aesthetic Qualities - Similarities and differences between the design and an actual magazine are noted. The design uses multiple game characters and screenshots. Bubble text was used throughout
6. production reflection(magazine project)
Joshua Meredith reflected on the process of creating a magazine article about the Pokemon game Sword. He started with coming up with a concept and draft of the article. With a clear idea and reference from playing the game, he created the front cover and inside pages, taking screenshots from the game. While putting all the pieces together, some parts of the initial concept were cut or changed. Overall, the process of making the magazine was fun and didn't take as much time as expected.
Proposal (magazine project)
This document outlines a proposal for a 2019 video game magazine. The primary audience is male teenagers as video games are mostly played by males, especially fighters and shooters popular in 2019. The rationale discusses how the creator's skills in Photoshop and knowledge of video games has improved over the last year from taking this course previously. The concept is a magazine reviewing popular 2019 releases like Minecraft and Fortnite, as well as games that were popular but didn't release that year. Research will identify the most popular games to feature. Evaluation will involve getting feedback to improve future work.
Production experiments (magazine project)
This document provides concepts for the front cover and double page spread of a magazine about popular 2019 video games.
The front cover concept shows characters from Marvel placed around the page in a not overcrowded manner. The black area is for text and the white edges will have a blurred glow effect.
The double page concept uses Tetris blocks in different colors and areas of black for articles about video games. Everything will be hand drawn except the text.
Most elements of the concepts will be included in the final product, with improvements like smoothing out and adding more detail to hand drawings, changing character positioning, and adding boxes around text for professionalism.

- 2. Process I made this concept of a ghost game using photoshop. The game will a point and click shooter. The idea is to zap all the ghosts of the level. There will be multiple level and even boss fights. The game is also based on colour. For each colour of the rainbow you will know how much you have progressed in the bundle of levels. White being the first all the way to violet being the last level. You will earn point to be able to upgrade your outfit, health, gun and more. The concept was made with only using a 1 px pencil with the colour wheel to add the colour and detail
- 3. Reflection • What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product? • Refer to the brief: Ghost Game – I will include the pixel type style towards my final product. I will also use the same layout and size of canvas as my game will be a side scroller with different combat and characters.
Editor's Notes
- Discuss the tools and processes used in your experiments
