Title Sequence



Here i have been working on how the title sequence will look. I have chosen to do it in an old style pixel look which is influenced by "The Raconteurs", posted previously. I created it in Adobe Illustrator using a black square to make up the letters.



Title sequence with black and white colour scheme. I think i like this one best.



Title sequence with a green and black colour scheme.

Pokemon Red

Pokemon Red has old black and white style graphics which i like. It also gives me an idea of how a pixel character should look and how the character moves etc. I also like the tense, dramatic music which fits the game well.

The Raconteurs



Screen capture from The Raconteurs website which is designed to resemble old style computer graphics. I like the green typeface against the black background and the old style font used. I also like the beep noises when navigating around the website.

Pixel Pandemonium



Super Mario Bros. stop motion animation made using cardboard cutouts. I like this way of doing things as it gives a more realistic look rather than flat 2D.

eBoy





Pixel art by eBoy. I like the use of pixels to create a 3D image and the bright colours used. I also like the character designs especially the 2D pixel characters.

Street Art



Cool piece of street art which shows pixelated water coming out of a real pipe.

Pixel Designs


Interesting pixel designs created on the side of books.

m/m (paris)



I like how this character, by m/m (paris), is simple and childlike. I also like how the character is created using squares as well as the black and white colour scheme.

Super Mario Infinity II



I like how the game screen follows the character and how Mario has to get past obstacles in order to succeed.

Old Macintosh Games


I like how the Star Wars game is made up of a series of lines and dots. I also like the sound effects.

Super Mario Brothers

Super Mario Brothers game capture which has the old style game graphics which i hope to use. I also like the way the screen moves as the character moves. I may use this.

The IT Crowd

The opening sequence from The IT Crowd has an old computer graphics look which is the style i was hoping to go for. I like the fact that it was made in colour instead of black and white.
