Design exercise (week 3)

In the studio session this week we had to bring in a newspaper article that dates back to pre-1984. We then had to get into groups and decide which article was the best to use for this project. For the project we had to produce a storyboard to illustrate the selected news story, as if it was a level of a game making sure they reflected continuity from the previous level. We had to break down the story into key elements, and locations, and research theses areas.
We produced a presentation for our project using PowerPoint, below are the items we included on the slides.

The main points of the article.

• The Army are using public money to supply them selves with food.
  Soldiers are allowed certain ‘luxuries’.
• The prices are higher and the quality of food different for the normal man on the street, than what the army gets.
• Canteens all over England are filled with tinned and bottled goods, which have deteriorated with age and are worthless.
• All food is rationed, so people need to steal food.Wholesalers making huge amounts of profits, because they are selling their food for large amounts, which means that not everyone can afford to eat.

Idea 1:

• The character has missions to do, such as robbing shops, houses and people. The character collects coupons as he does the missions, the object is to collect as many as possible in a set amount of time. Depending on the amount of coupons collected determines how much food the character gets. The character needs a set amount of food to live, so if the user fails the mission the health of the character goes down.
• The character has weapons to defend him self from mad killing machines named arkwright and grandvil.

Idea 2:

• The idea of this game is to make the best food.
• The character has to run round the town looking for the ingredients to make their meal; the object of the game is making a good meal. This meal is then fed to the soldiers who decide how good your food is.
