Pixel art is created pixel by pixel, making it time-consuming but allowing for high quality works. Concept art illustrates visual ideas to show what the final product will look like. Texture art conveys what surfaces may feel like to make the work more realistic. Background graphics set the environment for game levels or add depth to interfaces. Print media art packages the game and merchandise like posters to effectively promote titles.
