What techniques did you use to make your final piece?
I used a lot of techniques as i wanted to get a mix of lots of techniques for my game case. I used pencil drawings for the main part of my front cover. I drew the car for the main part of my game case, i used a pen to go around the lines of the car to make sure the lines would show on the scanner. I used photoshop to add colour to my car and add tonal work to the car. It also let me add a lot of detail to the car. I also drew the city in the back ground, this was really good as it let me add all the windows. I then scanned it into the computer and added all the different shades to the skyscrapers, this looked really good as it had lots of different looks.
Why did i choose the mood of the front cover and how?
I wanted my game to look dark as it gave the front cover a bit of tense, it also made the car stand out from the rest of the game case. I also like how the windows in the skyscrapers are light so that the city then looks inhabited, this shows that the race is live. To create the background i needed to use a lot of different techniques.
I needed a stormy night picture from the internet, i then added affects to the night sky to make the sky look dark and tense. I wanted this because it attracts the audience to game, this is really important for the success of the product. I then used the tool to pull the light to dark this, let me pull the light from the moon to fade of the buildings. I used a whole moon to add more tense and to also make the game look more moody but with a bit of hope. I added grass to the sides of the road and i then a dark effect to make the game look more realistic and add tonal effect.
Why have i chosen this text?
I have chosen this font as it has impact for the front of the case, it really works it complements the moon. The font is really simple but looks really effective and it stands out. I have put i line around the font to make it stand out more from the front cover.
I have also have gone for a simple font for my slogan, i have chosen a red for the font colour as i wanted it to be similar to the cars on the game box. It is a simple text so it stands out and it is bold. I really like this font as it also looks like the font you find near a race track.
I have also gone for simple font for the text that describes the game box, it is easy to read so it means the audience can see what the is about easily. I have gone for white text as it stands out from the background. I have also chosen the text as it then looks more formal for the game case.
Why have i chosen the look of the back of the case?
I have chosen a simple back to my game box, i have put all my images in line as i wanted a strict grid. This makes my game case feel like it is on the race grid ready to race it also makes my game case look more formal and professional. I have put my slogan at the top of my case so it will attract the audience and it also look really affective. I have put all the text about the game at the bottom so it looks really good and i have put the first sentence in caps lock so it stands out and sounds powerful.
What do i like about this design?
I really like the look of the game case as it has a dark mood on it but it also has two main colours to the game case, red and white they both are powerful colours. I really like the back case as it looks really effective and it is in our face. I am really happy how the game case for "real racing" has turned out, with all the different techniques.
What could i improve on for this game case?
To improve this design, i would improve the car at the front of my case as it would then appeal to the professional gamer, it would also attract a wider vary of people. But over all i am happy with this design.
