Task 1

Point and Shoot

Even More Bloons
-Even more bloons is a cute children's game in which you are a cartoon monkey destroying balloons or as the title suggest 'bloons'. The game is extremely colourful and the levels are difficult making it an interesting game to play and to challenge children and adults alike, however the idea itself is a simple plot of just destroying balloons with different weapons. It is a free game on the internet and it is popular with school children, the game itself shows a cute sky background and block colours, suggesting an innocent game with good intentions.

Space Invaders
-Space invaders is a fairly simple arcade game in the 1970's which has a very simple 8-bit design and simple plot, shoot the UFO's that will slowly come closer to you. The first game designs had hardly any colour and the characters are simple, however through our generations the game has developed into a fun and addictive arcade game which is now free on the internet. The game it's self has a black background to show the darkness of space and bright whites and colours to show the characters and ammunition, making it stand out.

Basketball
-This free internet game is a simple aim and shoot game which you use your mouse to point and click, throwing the ball into the basket with a time limit, it is very simple and innocent. The game itself has block colours which resemble that of the ball and the court, the blue background is simple and has a gradient which makes the game appealing. The game itself shows that it's intentions are simply to let the player experience basketball in a virtual level.

Environment in 1st person shooter 
Bioshock Infinite
-The Bioshock series is famous for it's amazing graphics and beautiful environments however in the 2013 release, 'Bioshock Infinite' the game designers outdid themselves with taking the scene from the underwater city, Rapture and taking the game up in the clouds in the City of Columbia. The bright colours and the freedom give it an innocent feel and almost heavenly like until the game takes a turn and the environment changes from the beautiful heaven like city to the war struck rubble. The concepts of Columbia has beautiful colours and is light unlike it's predecessors, the buildings are mostly light colours to make it seem like the actually city is heaven however once the game takes a turn to war it changes to a darken environment where the flooring and the buildings are crumbling down, war ships appear in the distance and makes the environment unsettling... This appealing environment adds to the experience of the game.

Call of Duty MW3
 -Call of Duty is probably the most famous first person shooter, with realistic and modern wars based on reality. It's environment is amazingly accurate and this just adds to the games charm, the colours used are very basic however it's suppose to come across as a war zone and the environment reflects this war time feel with realistic background sounds and the gunfire, explosions and crumbling architecture in the background. The game's environment is extremely detailed which gives it that sense of realism and perspective on war.

Half Life

-Half Life as a sci-fi first person shooter has beautiful concepts and artwork for the game, the colours correspond with the realistic settings and the player can emerge themselves with in the game. The Sky and smoke look almost real and the water has a great reflection, common in newer games. However he hill or cliff edge in the backgrounds have sharp edges which ruins the realistic environment however all in all it still makes for an amazing game and experience.

Game Characters
Anna DeWitt (Elizabeth Comstock) - Bioshock Infinite

-Anna DeWitt is the deuteragonist of Bioshock infinite and the main characters daughter. As a 19 year old woman she was designed after the Disney princesses with a slim waist and a tiny figure, her facial features are pretty and her modelling looks incredible. The creators of the character wanted her to be likeable and so they used Disney designs in order to create her character, personally I think what she adds to the game is a Heroine since she helps the main character in his quest, this is appealing to girls since she shows that she's far from weak and doesn't always need protecting or saving.

Sonic the Hedgehog - From varies games

 -Sonic is one of Sega's most famous characters, being able to run at incredible speeds around cute backdrops and saving his other furry friends, his character has bright colours which appeal to the younger generations and has the gloves which are styled after Disney and Looney Toon characters. The blue hedgehog is Sega's mascot to rival Nintendo's Mario and from then on out he has become one of the most famous characters in the world. His character is simple and loveable which makes him recognizable through the world.

Lee Everett

-Lee is the main character from the walking dead game, his character is loveable throughout the game in which he looks after a young girl from the zombie apocalypse. The character design itself has bold lines to give it a comic book feel after the game itself was based off the comic book series. These bold lines give the character a comic look however the colours have a wide range, making the game seem more realistic. Lee throughout the game is controlled by the player, being able to change who lives and who is eaten by the zombies however the main plot still in tack. The shocking ending makes Lee's character a beautiful design and a generally great lead.

Guerrilla marketing
Trolleys and Baskets

This shopping basket is trying to promote donations to third-world countries, the child in the picture is holding his hand out for food, which the shopper or customer will place their groceries in. It is in your face and hard to turn from it, which makes you think more on the subject and convinces you to give money to charity. The picture looks real which makes it much more believable like the child is there, this is a great way of advertising as everyone will look down at their shopping trolley or basket.

Buses

The Hang-men advertises human rights and against the death penalty, it's in your face since the small cardboard cutout people are hanging from bus grip hooks. The colours of the cutouts are very dark and gloomy, giving a sense of distress and important issues. The people have the information of the advertisement on the back of their shirts. This type of advertisement hangs on the grip hooks so then small children can not grab them since this issue is directed to adults and possibly older teenagers (16+)

Buildings and Billboards

Billboards are specially designed for advertisement, however this billboard takes a new turn on the standard 2D boards. If the bright orange colour doesn't grab your attention then the fact that a part of the Billboard is on the ground will, this is again in your face and hard to ignore, it has meaning behind it that everyone hates 'dropped' calls, while the company states that their network has the fewest dropped calls. This is affective for business users and people who use their mobiles a lot for calling.
