Token









This is my idea for the token in the game. These tokens will be scaterd all over the map, you will have to move the camera to find them. All the tokens will be filled with gold so that you can buy upgrades for your armor.

This is a rough version of what the game will look like with a token in place. Some of the tokens will be harder to find, for example they might only be partially visible and these will be worth more.


For this idea i wanted the tokens to spin around so that they could be seen from a distance .

Banner Ideas Generation

I would like my banner to have some interaction with the user for example every time the user clicks on the banner it grows twice the size or it has a game in it with relevance to the course. My first idea is to make a banner 336x280 that has a game of space invaders on the side of the PCA building in spray paint and when the game finishes the view zooms out of the wall and show the viewer the PCA building. the controls for the game will be in the bottom right corner. The button controls will be very simple left, right and shoot. I would like the banner to grab the viewer attention so I thing the use of colours is relevant, i was thinking to make the space invaders green and purple to stand out. I would like to make the invaders look like they have been sprayed on the wall to give it an artistic effect and to look a bit different.

For my second idea i am still going to keep the space invader and the size of banner but instead of a game i am going to make the space invader transform in to a qr code that takes the viewer to the interactive media game arts website. For the QR code to transform the user is going to have to click or hover over the invader. i can also get the QR code to leave the viewer a message.

banner comp

gumtree: looking for love banner. This is a looped banner of around 4 seconds that has flashing text with a question "looking for love" the banner is a direct link to the website match.com in the corner of the banner it advertises for free registration. in my opinion this is a good banner it gets its point over in four second and its proves that banners dont need to be in your face or take over your screen.


eBay: virgin credit car. this banner has no flashing nothing is looped there is hardly anything that catches the eye. but that isnt why this banners isnt as good i dont find it good because theres to much text for a banner. in my opinion a banner should only give out a little bit of information so that the view should want to vistit the website.

good points match.com

  • not too in your face 
  • good use of colour 
  • animated 
  • looks officail 
bad points match.com
  • doesn't catch your eye 
good points virgin 
  • good use of colour 
  • looks professional 
  • good amount of information
bad points virgin
  • seems like too much text
