- 4. Mood Board
- 5. Mood Board Analysis Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood There is repetition in the images that I have collected which have given me ideas about what type of game I am going to be creating, I kept the idea of the nebula and I used it a lot in my mood board. The reason the nebula was repetitive in image is because I want that to be the face of the game such as main menu and end menu and logo for the game, the reason for this is because its fascinating and bring people in to look at it. I also used the idea of planets a lot because it shows planet and other planets and moons the reason is because you will be able to choose which planet you want to knock about in customizations as there will be different options and it will be your choice dependent on what you unlock in game. The colour scheme is black with multiple different colours around it to represent the universe the reason that these colours are repeated is because they are the colours of our universe and space . The reason that the sun is white in the image and I am using a white sun is because I want my game to also have some facts and science about it, using a white sun is its actual colour rather than yellow and orange as its set in space and not our atmosphere. The nebula is going to be made up of a multitude of colours which is why I chose different images of nebulas from space to base my nebula design off. The tone of the game is mystery as it will show the different planets and things in the universe, fore example planets stars nebulas and black holes, this will show mystery in the background of the game and share the mystery with the person playing the game this sets a mysterious tone to the game. The mood of the board is to try and use different planets and space ideas so that it creates a mysterious mood I believe this mood sets a tone for the game I'm creating as well as the mood board does. I included 1 font which is shown and used in pong the reason I like this font is because its simple and from a memorable arcade game. How will your mood board influence your final product? My mood board will influence my product because I have chosen different images that represent the game that I intend to create and give off the ideas that I'm trying to go for when creating it, in various different ways. My mood board will influence my game as it takes ideas of the colour scheme of different things in space, for example nebulas black holes and the sun, this shows and sets a guideline for me to follow when creating the game. I will also focus the main planet around earth which is a influence from my mood board it’s the main focused planet and I believe that it is a good starting planet until you customize it and unlock new one, expanding into the solar system. I will also be influenced from the mood board by the way that the scoring system has been set out on pong I think that I will use that idea on my own game. Overall my mood board will influence my final product in numerous different ways and is useful as it gives me a starting idea to go off before making the final product or the experiment and gives me a good idea of what I want to create and how I want to set it out.
