Adaptation A: Title Design

This is a frame from the animation showing the title design. When designing it, it was always my intention to have the "F" in "FAILURE" to look like a grade on a test, which I think is quite clear. I quite like this design as it's relatively simple, but also quite fun.

This image also gives a rough idea of the info-graphic style itself. It will be set on the whiteboard throughout, with the Flash animations taking place within it, making it look like it's being drawn on the whiteboard. A couple of years ago, I did an animation on my whiteboard, which didn't work very well, which is why I'm doing it in Flash. Flash will also be a lot smoother and neater than if I were to do it using a stop-motion whiteboard animation method.

On another note, I have contacted the voice artist that will play the voice of "The Narrator" and so I should have the recording within the next couple of days, at the most.

Character: Title - Designs

I have done these designs for the title. I have decided on calling the game "Divination".

Divination:

The practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means.

I wanted to make the name of the game quite unique and have strong relevance to the plot of the game. As most of the game is spent exploring and searching for resources, I felt this is an appropriate name, and it also adds mystery as to why the World in the game is what it is.

By using several fonts from Photoshop, I have tried to make them suit the game and the style. Some of them are fairly similar in font, so it is the colours that separate them apart. However, some of these remind me of existing fonts for games, for example design #7 reminds me of Halo and design #4 reminds me of the Blizzard logo.  My favourite is design #3. As the game is set in London, I added the Union flag in the letters, which spell "Nation".
