we were given a project to create an idea for a game for the age range of 11-19. so first the members of our team brainstormed and got many ideas about what we could do some of our influences were final fantasy . we decided that we wanted a fantasy based game but we didn't want it to be the stereotypical fantasy game of were you have to save the world. so we reversed roles and you play as the bad guys and you have to destroy the world in which you live in.

we decided that you would be a demon and you live in a world or angels and good.

your goal is to destroy the empire of good.

we added in powers that your character would be given. theses powers are based on the elements, for example fire, ice, wind e.c.t.

but to make the game more interesting we gave the user the ability to control the minds of 5 towns people. and so this wouldn't make the game to easy for the player then we gave them a gauge for their magic so they couldn't keep controlling minds after the previous team members have died. this game does not have a online mode. it follows a storyline and as u progress through the game you will learn new things about yourself and the war that you are fighting against.

  

character development

the original design for the character you play as was based to look like a generic demon. big red horns and pitch black hair. but after some thought I had changed his design to make it less generic. he still has white skin but I tried to make it more original so I gave him horns that change colour depending on the element that is being used. he also has an arm that has lost its layer of skin. and gives him the ability to use powers. 

interface

 in the top left corner of the screen there are gauges to tell you how much magic you can use. the flame gets smaller as you loose health. the horns change colour when you use an element. 

and the black gas behind the horns show you your demon power. when this runs out then you can no longer take over peoples minds or use element powers  

research summary

today there was a presentation when we presented our research on advertising to the class. we had found out that what made adverts stand out was because of a couple reasons. some of the reasons is because of the humour aspects that have been put into the advertisements, another reason is because of the music that goes with the advert that made it catchy.or also the use of well known music made the advert stand out  

gurilla advertising

gurilla advertising can come in all sizes . it can be big and bold or it could even be tiny. gurilla advertising make advertising more interactive and creative . this is a good way of advertising because you could spend only a little bit of money on your advertisement and still get the same effect as a tv advertisement. but this way of advertising isnt all that grate as if it doesnt stand out then people could not notice it or think that it is just a prank and not know what is being advertised.
i like this way of advertising because it can be as ctreative and outragous as the seller wants to rty and catch peoples attention

this is a good example of gurilla advertising as at first look it looks like a real woman that has fallen down theses stepps but in actual fact this is a painting of a woman. but because it looks so realistic then everyone would go and look and then find out that it is an advertisement for selling some kind of life insurance.

im not quite shure as to what is being advertised here but it looks like it has something to do with home furnishing. even though you cant realy tell what this is advertising, it is still a good advertisement bacause it is big and strange. as having a house side ways on a wall isnt what you normaly see

i like this example because this one is interactive as, for the advertisement to make sence they nead people to be waking on that floor. its also a good example because it comes with information aswell so if no one  was on the floor (which is highly unlikely) then you can still tell what the advertisement is ment to be selling 

TV advertisement

tv advertisement is a more expensive method of advertising. but it is a better way of advertising as  everyone watches the tv. so advertisements presented on the tv would be seen by everyone

this tv advertisement is a good example of an advertisement because it stands out because of the way that the giant head come out of a dark room and then starts spinning around. this is good because it makes no sence so the watcher will stay and watch it till the end to try and make sence of it

this advert was also a good example because of the bright colours and again because of the weirdness of the advert. they also made the music catchy but simple. the use of the moose is a good aspect as it stands out so the person watching this advert will remember it and think of this advert when they see the product which might make the person buy the product that is being sold ont the advert

the reason why i find this advert good is because of the way they put their point across by making the man skate through the balloons. the way the ballons fly into the air is meant to represent the way that the chocolate /product is light. also the balloons aren't all the same size so they look like bubbles. also having the man skate through the ballons make it look like he's traveling throught the chocolate.
also having the man eat the chocolate at the begining of the advert is a good idea as sometimes all we have to do is see something and we whant it. so they did this to hopefully make us whant to buy the product.    

Magazine advertisement

Magazine advertising is the ads you see in magzines. Starting up or maintaining a magazine is dependant on a few things, but one of the most important thing is advertising. Nearly all magazines depend on the views generated by their advertisers to stay in business.
the advertising is diferent for each magazine for example if one magasine is focusing on electrical technoligy then the advertising will also focus on electrical technoligy.
this method can be quite expensive depending on how much room you take up.

with this advertisement it works well because the company that has made this also had a tv advertisement so all you have to do is be looking throught the magasine and see this picture and the reader will automaticly recognise what it is adevrtising. normaly this wouldnt work as it doesnt have any information with it but because there is a tv advertisement then it works

this advert is a good example and i like it because i can tell easily that the product their selling is something to protect peoples young children because of the dummy and the little bit of text. i also like the way that they showed the dummy being dangerous by making it a cactus represent the germs that are on the dummy. also the text is easily readable and understandable so when you read it you can understan the whole picture

i like this advert as it caught my attention strait away because of the bright colour scheme that has been used. also with the picture of the alien it makes people look at it to see what it is the advert is about. the picture also make sense because this advert is about design. and design is ment to be creative and strange and with the design of this advert being strange then it is showing us what design is like
