Cracked on with the second assignment today involving researching computer games covers so that we can get some ideas on designing 3 of our own. One for a historic strategy game, an adventure game and finally a shoot em up game! Now when I first scanned through the brief I did think we just had to do one cover and choose the type of game, but 3...AHHHHHHH!!!!
In my trolling through the Internet I did find a hazard warning game on a driving agency site that was fun along with some stupid gunny bunny!
So I have chosen 'chess' as the historic strategy. However I have the view of the cover in my head but trying to extract it from the grey matter onto the screen is difficult, not being naturally gifted in the art department I feel I have some large hurdles to attack with this course. I thought I would do a kind of watermark checkerboard and have various chess pieces on the front, some mocked screen shots on the back and age range plus a write up of the game. In the end my head hurt so saved work so far and played around with illustrator and some of the tools. Still working on the banknote as well.
So a reasonably productive day, but mind kept wandering a lot in regards to the fab dive I had yesterday and the 33 more to get under my belt in preparation for Egypt on my birthday....but that is a whole different story!
