in my second section i created the type fonts for my game box art and i also made some final adjustments to my box art like i have changed the top of the back so instead of having the two images as seen in my last post i have now only got the image of the chaos commander. i have created the name of the game  SoulSystem and i had a look at different fonts and then i chose a font that looked like the game before SoulStorm which was a modern gothic style. i had put this on the Purge the weak, also the IF HE DIES HE DIES and also SoulSystem as shown in the images above. i have also places a mist behind the text to show make the writing stand out more.

today we caught up on the digital graphics because we lost out on a whole day yesterday because of the college being closed. as seen in my previous posts i had only partly finished my front of the game but now i have 95% finished my whole box art :).  as shown in my sketches of my box art i have changed pictures this is because my original idea didn't look right and i couldn't work out how to join two images together so i decided to get two commanders one from the chaos armies and one from the space marine armies. luckily i was able to find two decent images that are facing each other so it made my job easier. as shown in the images above the commander for the chaos is wearing black and gold and the space marines commander is wearing blue and yellow/gold colours. but in the box art image i have changed them. the chaos commander is now wearing black and green and the space marines commander is wearing purple and green. i have also added the requirements to the back of the box art and the disclaimer and also the companies logos that created the games.  i have also added screen shots of the games before and then  changed the colours so then it looks like a different game. i have added the main two phases of the game one said by the chaos and one by the imperial fist space marines. IF HE DIES HE DIES is said by the space marines and the Purge the weak is said by the chaos.

 i drew my sketches for my box art again as i lost the first copy. i then carried on creating my box art for my game and nearly finished my box art on the front up to a good standard. tomorrow i am going to finish of the front and nearly complete the back of the box art as well. the image above shows the front of the box art. i cut all of my images out from the original image with a soft brush so that the image would blend into the background image. i also changed the colours of the images so that they match each other. as shown in the image above  shows the one of the original images without it being edited. and then in the box art image it shows the imaged edited and changed colours.

today we only had one lesson on digital graphics and we carrying on with the box art unfortunately i was unable to change it because i decided that the image i had didn't go with the other images so i had to find an image that did go with the others. the other images were photorealistic where as the image i had was stylised which would not go well. the picture below shows the image i had on the right and then the new image on the left.

today I created image logging sheet for my project. will all of the relevant information like having the barcode as that will be needed for box art because when the game is sold in stores they would need something to scan. i also have put the age rating in the table as this will be needed because it will mean that people under that age are not allowed to buy the  game. the company that created the game will also need  to be on it because then people that like the game can look at the other games that that company have created and try them. having an image of the background image that will be on the box art is important as then when it comes to creating the box art people can see the different images that where put together to create it and see the images individually. Also images of the requirements from the game before are also put in the table this is because they will be put on the box and they will be the same and wont need to be changed. I also started creating the box art with the background for the image as shown above it is a moody sky look which is a good place for a battle field. the image above is the front of the box.

Planning Stage

Today we did the planning for our project. first between 9 am and 10 am we were looking at box art layouts and creating our own layouts in the style of thumb nails. as the image above shows of the example of box art. Then after lunch we created our workflow diagram and also created are schedule plan as shown above. My workflow diagram shows the the first five steps for the project first by starting with the Research and then the Concepts as shown in another Post, then we created the proposal and then we got to creating the schedule, on the schedule i have put three milestones on the schedule to help me make sure that i am on target and am following my schedule. as shown on the image above of the schedule two of the milestones are finishing the whole project and then there is also finishing the HUD the other milestone is finish creating the Box Art.
