Task 2 Contact Sheet

Contact Sheet

I was searching for places in Bradford central, for references so that I had an idea on my background for my video game. I am still not sure on how to design my background, so I took photos of buildings I found interesting, so that I had an idea on what to design. My video game setting might be in Greece so I took photos of buildings I though would help me. The first image on the second row is interesting, I really like the building structure and the patterns on the building, for some reason it reminded me of Greece. I also took photos of the clock tower because I was looking at how the top of the building looks like so I could use it as a reference for drawing tops of certain types of buildings. The three images at the bottom caught my eye because there are cracks and dints around the window which I could use to help me draw texture and detail on some buildings.

The images below are references for the street views in the video game or any where outdoors. The second image on the forth row is for colours, and patterns that can be on the buildings. I found some of the places in Bradford useful because, they helped me with ideas for, designing certain views and objects that could be in the like stools and bins. I also took photos of bright places, and places that look abandoned an a few dark and creepy places.

I though the images on the first row were pretty cool because the grass has different shades of green and some are even a different colour. I liked the way the first image, on the forth row looks. I also liked the first two images on the last row, because it looks kind of creepy. It looks like an entrance to a dark place, and looks kind of mysterious. I also liked the last two images on the forth row, because it looks kind of creepy and haunted.

I also took photos of plants and trees, that I like and I took photos of ones that would help me in my designs for my background. I liked the brightness that I could capture in some of the photos of plant and nature. I also found some of the shapes of the leaves and plants interesting. I also took close ups of a few plants because I wanted to look at the texture and colour of them. I also took photos of the stems and trunk of some trees because i was looking at the cracks and dints that create texture. I also took photos of moss growing on the side of a building because I was looking at the texture and colour of them.

I took photos of statues because, I was thinking of adding a statue in my background. I ended up taking photos of a few statues, so I took a few of them in different angels. I also took photos of the dirt at the bottom of the statue because it shows that the statue is old, and you can see the texture of the statue and the way the mold grows, over time. You can also tell in the images that it was raining when I took the photos because the floor was wet, but after a while it stopped raining and the sun came up which helped because I was able to take some of the photos when it was dark and some when it was bright, so I have a variety of photos with different brightness and contrast.

I also took photos of different textures, so I could use them for reference. I took photos of the water fountain in Centenary Square because I was thinking if I wanted to add a water fountain in my background, then I would already have the references I needed for it. I also took photos of different textures of rock and stone so I could use it for a building or for a brick road. I took photos of the sky so that I had references of how clouds look, and the different shapes and textures they have because some clouds are smooth and look kind of smudge and some clouds, look thick and round.
