History of the Isles - Mind Map
Targeted Audience/Demographic
PEGI 12 Rating
Younger graphics, a more cartoon and Child like approach will be needed. This is due to the games targeted audience being PEGI 12 . Although the game will need to cater to the younger audience, as the game is PEGI 12 a level of realism and violence can be kept to a "Non-Realistic" but engaging Level.
As there will be a "Roman" Theme the actual events that happed will need to be lowered to a level that is child friendly, This means that there cannot be any harsh gore or blood. Ideally animated characters
Typography -
Ideally a cartoon or friendly font to draw in the targeted audience. Due to the PEGI 12 rating, again, there can be a level of history that reflects to true events, but, more violent and extreme parts will need to be lowered to an age appropriate level
Colours and colour pallet
The roman theme will bring a beige coloring for most of the clothing and for armor there needs to be silvers.
Layout
In the loading screen graphic there could be a semi-Complex graphic, but it will need to be comprehendible for the targeted audience. This means that there will need to be basic characters following the same low levels of violence and gore
Sizing of the Loading Screen
As the loading screen will be used for both print and digital media it will need to be formatted in different file types and different resolutions
resolution
As the media will need to be placed on a digital loading screen there will need to be an appropriate size which will be 3840 × 2160 pixels. This can then be downscaled to be printed at A5. As this image will need to be shown on a screen it will need to also be formatted in a PNG. This allows for the image to be placed on the screen without having to remove a background.
As the media will be printed in A5 it will need to be re-formatted from the larger scale that will be used in the loading screen to a smaller A5 size. the document will need to be printed at 70DPi. as it is also being printed it will also need to be formatted in either TIFF or PNG.
The colour Red will be used allot as it is a common roman colour. But as the needs to be a minimal amount of gore, Constricted by PEGI 12 Blood cannot be used
Placement/centering of the assets in the image will also be extremely important. This means that whilst compiling all of the assets into an image they will need to be correctly centered. White space should also be used where necessary
Permissions
All of the assets that will be used to compile the image will need to be fully cleared for copywrite. When possible, public domain assets should be used to diminish the chance of copywrite infringement
Visual identity and Brand Logos
The brand identity will also need to be carefully considered, This means that as "Midnight Games" is educational there logo and brand will need to come across as "Friendly" and educational on history. This will be done by making a logo that represents the company and its values
The purpose of the "History of the isles" game is to inform and entertain the targeted audience. This means the game will need to have educational elements and yet still be entertaining
