HA1 Task 3 – Graphic Types
Pixel Art:
Pixel art is a form of digital art which is created by using a software. This software is used to
edited images and make them in to a pixel image this image below shows what pixel art looks
like.
This image is from the classical game PacMan.

Concept Art:
Concept art is a form of illustration used to convey an idea
for use in (but not limited to) films,
video games, animation, or comic books before it is put into the final product. Concept art is also
referred to as visual development and/or concept design. This term can also be applied to retail,

of a character and what he looks like.
Texture Art:
In the visual arts, texture is the perceived surface quality of a work of art. It is an element of two
dimensional and three-dimensional designs and is distinguished by its perceived visual and
physical properties. Use of texture, along with other elements of design, can convey a variety of
messages and emotions.

Below Is a Image from a game called Sleeping Dogs, this image shows what the texture looks
like in game, and in my own opinion I think they look really nice and realistic

Background Graphics:
The area of a display screen not covered by characters and graphics. The background is like a canvas on top
of which characters and graphics are placed. Some monitors allow you to control the colour or shading of the
background.

Print Media Art:
Print media art is art which is not in the game it's self. You can see the print media art around
stores where you buy the game and also in many other stores. Print media art comes in many
different types. When you buy a game you have props you can buy like in minecraft you can buy
a pone sword.
This image shows print media from Minecraft.

HA1 Task 2 – Artistic Styles
Photo-realism:
Photo-realism means an art movement where paint is used to create images that were more real
than those that could be created using a camera. Long before digital art, these artists would work
from photographs by grinding them up and then recreate the images square by square.
This is image of Yvonne Strahovski from mass effect.

Cell Shading:
Cell shading or also know as toon shader is a type of non-photo-realistic rendering designed to
make 3-D computer graphics appear to be flat by using less shading color instead of a shade
gradient or tints and shades. Cell-shading is often used to mimic the style of a comic
book or cartoon. It is somewhat recent, appearing from around the beginning of the twenty-first
century. The name comes from cells, the clear sheets of acetate which are painted on for use in
traditional 2D animation.

Abstraction is imagery that is non-representational it focuses on shapes, colour and movement. In
these types off game there is really no story to it.
This image is from Geometry Wars.

HA1 Task 1 – Technical Glossary
Pixel:
The word pixel came from two words which are picture and element. Pixels are technique the
building blocks of a image. Color depth, also known as bit depth, is either the number of bits
used to indicate the color of a single pixel or the number of bits used for each color component
of a single pixel.
This image shows the Bit Depth and the difference between them.

of a single pixel.
This image shows the Bit Depth and the difference between them.
Colour Models – RGB and CMYK:
There are two types of colour models, they are known as RGB (Red Green Blue) and CMYK
(Cyan Magenta Yellow Black).
The difference between RGB and CMYK is that RGB is used on images, websites and also
on monitors However, CMYK are used on printers. When you add CMYK colours on top off
each other the less light is reflected and when you use RGB colours on top off each other the
result is the colour white.
This image shows you what colours RGB and CMYK are made up of.

Resolution:
Resolution means the sharpness and clarity of an image. The resolution is different when you
take a photo and when you are playing a video game. This is because the main resolution on TV's
and monitors are 1080x1920 at an equal distance. When you get two different types of resolution
the highest resolution will look clear and crisp to the low resolution which will look fuzzy and
unclear.
This image shows you the difference between 240p,360p,480p,720p,1080p

Raster
Images: file formats and uses - psd, bmp, gif, tiff, jpg, png:
Raster images are images made up off pixels. When you zoom in or enlarge a raster image the
image starts to get fuzzy and blurred.

Vector Images: file formats and uses - eps, wmf, fla, svg, ai:
Raster images are images made up off pixels. When you zoom in or enlarge a raster image the

http://www.printcnx.com/wp-content/uploads/raster.jpg
Vector Images: file formats and uses - eps, wmf, fla, svg, ai:
Vector images are different to raster image because it is created by a mathematical equation.
Another difference between a vector image and a raster image is that when you zoom in or
enlarge a vector image the image does not become fuzzy and blurry it stays smooth and crisp.
You find vector images on build boards.
This is an image of vector and raster images. It also shows the differences between the two.

Cross-platform Images: format and uses - pdf:
Cross-Platform means being able to use different things on different types of computers or with
different software packages. Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present
documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating
systems.Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document,
including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format
Compression
- lossy and lossless:
Lossless compression reduces a file's size with no loss of quality. This can be used on Images and
audio files. Lossy file compression results in lost data and quality from the original version. This
can be also used on images and audio files
This image shows what happens when you use lossless and lossy on a image.

Image Capture Devices – scanner, digital camera, tablet/smartphone:

audio files. Lossy file compression results in lost data and quality from the original version. This
can be also used on images and audio files

Image Capture Devices – scanner, digital camera, tablet/smartphone:
Every device which captures images, all use a lens. When they capture a image the lens reverse
the image.

Optimizing:
In computer science, program optimization or software optimization is the process of modifying a
software system to make some aspect of it work more efficiently or use fewer resources. In
general, a computer program may be optimized so that it executes more rapidly, or is capable of
operating with less memory storage or other resources, or draw less power.

Storage
and Asset Management:
You can put image and audio files on a storage device. There is different types of storage device,
they all have different size capacity. You can use a hard drive, pen drive and "the cloud", the
cloud is a online storage device. If i was going to save them i would save them in a organised
file.
This is a image of a USB 4GB, you can put both audio and image files.
