Introduction.• My presentation will be about the different types
of graphical styles. The Graphical styles I will be talking about are;
• Photorealistic• Cell shaded• Exaggerated• Abstract
Colour Theory• Colour theory is the Visual arts guidance for
mixing colours and the guide for visual effects.• The colour theory also defines warm and cold
colours: for example Red, Orange, Yellow are considered warm colours and Blue, White, Purple are considered cold.
• Primary Colours; Red, Yellow, Blue.• Secondary colours; Green, Orange, Purple.
Cold Side Warm Side
Cool colours• Cool colours would be represented with blue,
purple, cyan and green. They give of a sense of comfort and relaxation.
• These colours also seem calm and relaxed
Warm colours• Warm colours are colours such as yellow, orange
and red.• Warm colours connote a sense of danger and
violence. Such as blood is the colour of red or orange/yellow is the colour of the sun.
• These are also wild and energetic colours also related to exotic places and things
Monochromatic• Monochromatic colours are the same colours with
different tints, tones, and shades from a single hue.
• They are all derived from the same single base hue and altered by changing the shades, tones and tints.
• This is done by adding black, gray and white
Complementary colours
• Complementary colours when mixed right will form either a black or white colour.
• When they are placed next to each other they support each other.
Analogous Colours• Groups of colours that are neighbouring.• One colour is dominant and on either side is the
tertiary colour complimenting
How does Colour theory relate to graphical styles in games?
• Colour theory relates to graphical styles in games by differentiating colours based on the environment and atmosphere. For example if it was in a cold country the developers would most probably use cold colours opposing to warm colours for a different environment such as a desert.
Photorealism• What is Photorealism? Photorealism in games is
exactly what the name tells us. Developers try to make certain games look as real as possible. For example photorealism is used in many games such as;
• Call of Duty• Battlefield• Far cry
• Photorealism gives players a sense of real life while playing the games. Especially in war games.
Photorealism in Games.
• One of the newest releases Call of duty: Ghosts uses photorealism. Call of Duty used photorealism to show scars, scratches, blood and dirt between fingernails. This is useful as it gives us the impression of how the scene at a war would be.
• Photorealism is also improving with the new graphic capabilities on the Next Gen Consoles.
Photorealism in Games.
• Farcry is another example of photorealism which shows players having scars, Hair on arms, Veins.
• A disadvantage of photorealism is that it takes up more disk space. Some games comes with 2 discs so that players can install the graphics and the game content itself separately. Such as GTA V on the XBOX360.

Cel Shading• What is Cel Shading? Cel Shading is a form of
visual art in video games, commonly represented in games such as Mario, Zelda, Dragon Ball Z. It is a render on 3D models to make them look hand drawn.
• On the picture there are 2 astronauts, the one on the left is a 3D rendered space suit that looks plastic and the one on the right looks like it had been drawn by hand using plugins which make the pictures look hand drawn.
Cel Shading in Games.• Cel shading today in video games is quite
common, The most popular game which uses Cel shading is Zelda: Wind walker. This makes the game look as everything has been hand drawn.
