Wk04 Mood Board Concept Phase

The Last of Us is one of my favorite games of all time and judging from this poster and the colors used in it you can really tell the mood of the game and what the artist was trying to express. You can see a lot of dark colors being used in the foreground of the poster like the water and the clothing of Joel and Ellie as well as the shadows that are cast on their face. I feel this brings out an emotion of fear and mystery to what lies behind them. Then as your eyes progress through the poster you can start to see a little lighter colors like more greens, pinkish reds, white. This reminded of a "light at the end of a tunnel" sort of theme.

As seen in my game poster the color scheme is kind of all over the place. It goes from vibrant reds and greens to dull blues and grays. This gives a different feel to the game maybe expressing characters are major part of the dull deteriorating city they live in.

 

The Characters mood board I created seems to have a similar color scheme it follows, minus the black and white picture that I used. For the most part the two characters that I revealed have solid dark colors that is the main part of them and then a highlight of a vibrant colors that distinguishes a certain emotion to each of them.

My environment mood board that I created for my game I think has a solid range of duller colors that, like I said previously, give you this ominous feeling about the city that is currently run by gangs. It also shows a common theme of emotion that this city is dark and falling apart. I liked the lighter colors you can pick out in the day of the docks giving it a good contrast to the dark night lit up by the city lights.
