This document discusses four different graphics styles for computer games: photorealism, which aims to look realistic; cell shading, which gives a hand-drawn look; abstraction, which uses lines and shapes rather than realistic objects and is common in retro games; and exaggeration, adapted from anime/manga with an over-the-top, non-realistic style that adds fun.Artistic styles

Photorealism is a genre of painting that uses photographs to gather visual information to create highly realistic paintings. It originated as an art movement in the United States in the late 1970s in response to abstract expressionism and minimalism. Photorealists precisely replicate photographs in their paintings. Cel shading, also known as toon shading, is a non-photorealistic rendering technique used to make computer graphics resemble hand-drawn cartoons or comics. It emerged around the 21st century and is commonly used in video games. Abstraction in art refers to works that do not attempt to realistically depict visible things, but instead use color, form, and other properties to achieve expressive effects.Pln

The document discusses how a personal learning network allows an individual to learn from various sources and resources, such as following educational websites and connecting with other teachers to gain classroom ideas and research. Twitter and talks are mentioned as ways to source articles and gain information on current education practices and ideas. A number of website and video URLs are also included.Unit 78 digital graphics for computer games

Pixel art is created pixel by pixel, making it time-consuming but allowing for high quality works. Concept art illustrates visual ideas to show what the final product will look like. Texture art conveys what surfaces may feel like to make the work more realistic. Background graphics set the environment for game levels or add depth to interfaces. Print media art packages the game and merchandise like posters to effectively promote titles.Technical file

Image resolution is measured by the detail an image holds, which is quantified by how close lines can be to each other and still be visible. Pixel art is a form of digital art created by editing images on the pixel level. Vector graphics use geometrical primitives and mathematical expressions to represent images, while raster graphics represent images as a grid of pixels in an image file. Common file formats for raster graphics include BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and JPEG, while PDF, EPS, and AI are examples of vector graphics file formats. Lossless data compression reduces file size by eliminating statistical redundancies without losing image data.Victorian!

The Industrial Revolution accelerated during Queen Victoria's reign due to the power of steam, which allowed Victorian engineers to develop larger, faster machines that could power entire factories. This led to a huge growth in the number of factories, especially textile mills.

Cynthia Brooke-Carlton is a 22-year-old adventurous heroine who grew up in Austria in an upper-class family. Her clothing design for the game should reflect her Austrian upbringing and wealthy background, giving an impression of comfort but not be overly revealing. She should have an adventurous and mysterious air while still appearing likable as the game's plot heroine. Her design takes elements of Victorian fashion and steam punk style inspired by Bioshock Infinite, Myst, and Guns of Icarus.FMP Production log

This document discusses research into defining the target audience for an online casual game. It analyzes data on player demographics, preferences, and popular existing games. The key findings are:
- The target audience is mainly casual male gamers aged 12+ who prefer strategic adventure games that provide competition.
- Females prefer more relaxed puzzle games while males prefer games with social and competitive elements like shooters.
- Gamers are motivated by problem-solving, achievement, and escapism rather than storylines.
- Input from a focus group suggested the game needs a unique quality, challenging objectives, and simple yet entertaining gameplay.Unit 78 technical file

The document describes several art pieces created as part of a project titled "Creatures". It summarizes each piece, including the different mediums and techniques used such as cross hatching with pen, light and dark shading with pencil, blending watercolors with a dabbling brush technique, easily blending and layering colors with oil pastels, using fine liner pens of varying thicknesses for detail, and creating tonal detail using different grades of pencil. The pieces include studies of lizards, birds, and other creatures.Sketchbook

The artist used a black pen for cross hatching lines to texture the lizard in the center picture, and a 2B pencil for shading the background. They attempted their first use of watercolors by dabbing the brush to blend colors and create a feathery effect, though watercolors were a challenge. Their favorite piece was created using oil pastels, which they found easy to blend and layer colors with until achieving the desired effect.Ident research

Pixel resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image's columns and rows. There are two main types of computer graphics: raster images which use a grid of pixels and vector images which use mathematical relationships between points and paths. Common file formats include JPG, which is best for websites and emails due to its ability to be highly compressed into small file sizes at the cost of lower quality. There are two types of image compression - lossless, which compresses to an exact duplicate but not greatly, and lossy, which strips redundant data to allow for higher compression ratios but results in some quality loss.Figurative artist research
