- 2. Process The tools I used to create my experiment are the pencil tool. I used the pencil to create the moon, ghost, character, knife, blood effects, night sky and the green hill. The reason I chose this method is because it was instant and accurate. I started by colouring the sky and set the pencil tool to 50. I did this because it saves time. I then set it back to 1 and selected white to make the sky have beautiful stars. I then set the pencil tool to 50 again to create the moon and I also did this in a white colour. I then did this with the character, ghost, blood effects and knife with the pencil tool. Overall the reason I chose this tool is because its better and more reliable than the other tools such as the brush tool. The brush tool is unreliable and waste time as you have to multiple click the mouse to get a bright and primary colour. This in turn will waste time and therefore I will have less information/detail on my other slides. I do believe I could better as I could made it into a animation, however we have limited time on this. I then used a template to create the green hill. I did this by copying the image and pasting it. I then used the pencil tool over it on a other layer. I then created the green hill in the background. I then used the pencil tool to create the road which greatly slowed me down as it was annoying to count the pixels between each road line. The tool I used to crop out the images that are located on the bottom of the page was the lasso tool. To crop the image with the lasso tool, I went around the image and got rid of the irreverent background. I used this tool because it simple let me choose what parts I didn’t need/want. This helped save time and patience by using the lasso tool. I used this on the green hill and the character as a template.
- 3. Reflection • What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product? • Refer to the brief: Ghost Game – I will include the same type of design E.G. pixel design. I will also include the blood effects as this will bring horror and other genres to the game to attract other gamers/customers. Therefore this will catch the eye of the customer. I will also make my final product simple yet eye pleasing as the same as the experiment. However I do think I should improve the the design to make it even more pleasing to customers by making a better layout and better design. I will include effects in my final product such as making the screen with a difference in colours, to show between what's important and what's not. I will do this because it will make the viewer feel as interested in the game as it stand out than other dull games. I will also use Photoshop as it will be easier and more understanding to other software. – My plan will be the same except that I will be making a space invaders theme than the ghost game I created in the experiment. I will then be making an animation where in the experiment I did not.
