Box Art

This will be where I will be putting my much of my work from Unit 78: Digital Graphics for Computer Games Assignment 1 parts 1, 2 and 3. In these parts I will be required to produce a CD Cover from Concept to Production.

The first step was to choose what sort of game this was going to be. I don't have a favorite garnra of game so this step was particularly hard. I finally settled on a shoot-em-up as we have not seen a good one of thoghs for a while.

Next was to get some imsperation so I started off by getting some images and pasting them onto a mood board.Some of these images were from a game called Galaga ("What a classic").

After looking at the mood board for a while I started to get some scetches drawn down and not having drawn since I was younger this seemed to make things harder as I coundnt get on paper what I could envistion in my mind.





These are just a couple of very rough concept sketches to get an idea of our hero's ship and also some enemy ships.

As you can see my drawing skills are a lot to be desierd but it all helped get an idea of what I was trying to achive.











After getting some scetches down I then had an idea of what I wanted my cover to look like and started to get the images I would need. I also got a scetch of what I wanted the cover to look like.

Here is my finished cover it is just a shame there are no screen shots on the back of the cover as the game does not exist at the moment (WINK) will have to see how my coding fingers feel.
