Style sheet

Deep darkness contrasted against extremely bright colours roughly represents the game’s overall aesthetics.

Bold colours, used to signify important elements or characters, either in design style or plot-wise, through the use of coloured text.

Gothic font style to emphasize to game’s otherworldly background.

Layout 1

Red as the colour font to convey danger, violence, blood and the forbidden.

The third verse of the Destruction of Sennacherib, by Lord Byron. This has been used to convey a feeling of ominousness, the Angel of Death representing one of the core fears of humanity.

Layout 2The lack of text is used to create a sense of confusion and mystery in the audience, feeding their curiosity.

The bright and bold colours in the poster are used to attract attention, as well as symbolising each member of the main cast, the phrases representing a core aspect of their personality.

By making the colours shine out from a single point of origin, it represents the common threads that link each character together, as well as the ultimate goal that they each strive for.

Contingency PlanningPotential Issue Solution

Photoshop crashing or freezing mid-production, halting development of the project.

ALWAYS save regularly, making sure that there is a recent back-up of the project.

There are no computers available. Resort to more mundane methods, such as pencil and paper, and book a computer in your own time.

You are unable to access your files for whatever reason.

Make sure that there is at least one other copy of the project, as well as production research to back up your claims.

Health and SafetyPotential Issue How will the issue be

avoided? Repetitive use of a computer can damage your wrist, back and eyes through over-exposure.

Take regular breaks to avoid strain on your body from being at a computer too long.

Due to the multitude of wires and cables that support a computer, tripping hazards could arise from the environment.

Make certain that all wires are tucked out of the way and that there are no exposed areas that could result in an injury.

High amounts of electricity are needed to power a computer, and if there is any exposed wiring, it could result in electrocution.

Be 100% sure that the computer is in good working condition and shows no signs of faulty wiring or otherwise harmful irregularities.
