Pixels!!!!!

Pixels!!!

Image resolution

image resolution can be identified as the width and height of a image and the number of pixels a image is made out of. the more pixels the image is made out of the higher quality you can expect. On a computer the larger screen you have the higher resolution you may use on you desktop background.

The quality of the image can also be manipulated by compressing it

this shows that the higher resolution of a image means a better quality picture

Picture resolution

picture resolution is the resolution your computer/phone/tablet ETC is set as. unlike the Image resolution you cannot change this unless you get a new monitor or phone. Obviously the bigger monitor you will need to have a higher resolution images to fill up your screen with a decent looking background.

intensity

intensity is the number of pixels you have in the image. As i said before the higher number of pixels you have in a image the nicer looking and smoother the image will look

things to consider in gaming and their uses

pixel art:
pixel art is is the main basis of older games and mobile games. they range from 2d sprites and 3d isometric sprites like the original Mario games.  sprites are the characters backgrounds can also be pixelated. there will be less shading and the characters look flat.  in the image below you can tell this is pixelated because of its blocky graphics and the flat looking characters and backgrounds. pixels are not little squares they build up the characters and the world.                                                          

everything apart from the background is a sprite

 concept art:

concept art are things what you can place,use and move in a game. such as vehicles weapons and NPC's. concept art is a idea what you may use in a game such as designs. rough sketches and models of characters also fit in this category. as you can see it has original sketches. 

this is concept art of the yeti's in world of warcraft

.texture art
texture art is how the object looks. for example a knife or sword in a computer game will have to look sharp not like a block of cheese. On a RPG/Fantasy game  you may need to find different objects or collect different resources and these should be different textures to eliminate any confusion between them.

this is Skyrim without textures 

background
you can usually distinguish the genre of game simply by looking at the background. or at least some elements of what you can find in there. One of the best recognizable backgrounds for a video game is any of the Mario backgrounds  bright and vibrant colors are the main features. there are a huge array of backgrounds which suggests to me it's a adventure game.

a classic Mario background

user interface
the user interface (UI) is the direct link between the user and the computer. In it you can change a number of settings. you can chose in their such as the quality of graphics you want on the game. It is a extremely important part of the program it can dramatically change how you use the game and it is quite easy to do.


printed media art
Printed media art are things like your video game boxes and adveryisements posters ETC. in order to make a good advertisemt for your game you need it too give the target audiance a plain idea  on what genre it is and whether it is 2D or 3D because it's misleading to put a 3d background on a 2d game and could give it worse feedback

game genre's

Artistic styles unit 78 kurt bremner

There are many different styles in which we make games and many games designers will combine styles for more effect and to make it look unique.

Photo realistic games

A large amount of games are made in this style including some of the more recent and popular games. Games like call of duty and the batman series.  Photo realistic means that they are trying to make the game look as real as possible. There are many obstacles what games developers face in making photo realistic games such as is make fully destructible building/objects. Your computer will have to be extremely powerful to accomplish this. However with the unreal engine 4 and the cryengine may be able to accomplish sooner hopefully

Exaggerated artistic design

Exaggerated games are like cartoony anime style games. A recent example of an exaggerated game is dragon ball xenoverse a common trait in the characters in an exaggerated game style is that they have large eyes like in an anime. Another trait is that they use bright and vibrant colours to make them stand out. A large amount of these kind of games are on the Nintendo wii and DS. A good example of these games are the Naruto ninja storm series, final fantasy and devil may cry.

Cel shading

Games which were created in this style often look like they have straight of a comic book. They often have bring colours. Also gameplay is normally is like a comic book. A good example of game with this artistic style is the amazing Spiderman I believe this game makes you feel like you are in a comic book.

Pixelated artistic style

 Although some of these games look extremely simple there are a huge amount of games which are made like this and they are really successful. Terraria is one of those games. I’m not sure if mine craft is though. However it is definitely a cross category with a pixelated game.
