What would your story look like as a video game? Think about characters, the setting they’re in, and important moments in your story. If you make cover art for a game, what do you choose to include to convey an interesting and attention grabbing cover, and what do you leave out that may beinteresting but give away too much imformation? If you’re making a cutscene how do you frame your characters in a way that gives proper emphasis to what you want the audience to see? What style do you want your story to be told in? Look at all sorts of different video games for inspiration, and get creative! Use whatever program you think would get you to your goal best. Collages, videos, live action, pen and paper, whatever!

Make a top 10 or ranking video on a site like YouTube, Vimeo, or even TikTok. It can be on any topic you like (as long as it is appropriate to share of course): something personal to you, or something you enjoy like movies, TV shows, books, etc…

Include graphics, pictures, audio, and video clips where necessary. Make sure to explain your reasoning for each entry in the video either through audio or text. I recommend using free video software such as iMovie, Premiere Rush, or Canva to create this assignment.

Using Adobe Photoshop, create an avatar or some sort of character. Next, design or clip different accessories/features onto different layers. Group the accessories into categories (for example: I used hats, glasses, different mouths, and different backgrounds- so each would it’s own layer and grouped accordingly.) Finally, download the photoshop composition composer master file from the internet (JXS file) and run the script. From there it will generate as many variations as possible.

Find or take a pretty photo that would work well for a poster. Bring it into Adobe Illustrator and make it into an image trace- I used low fidelty photo. Next, bring the photo into Adobe Photoshop and make any changes or add any missing elements- I painted a large sky using a gradient and low opacity brush to make it a poster size rather than square. Finally, add some text with city name or nickname- I added some fog on top cause it’s San Francisco and I also erased the bottom of some of the letters to make it look like the letters were sitting inside the city limits rather than floating on top.
