Week 1: Apocalypse Research



After deciding to go for the apocalyptic theme I had a look at finding some imagery to inspire us a little more and think about ways of destroying the environment. Above are some images I collated for the net. These were of a big inner city and we are obviously going for something with more character like Barcelona. We also felt these kinds of images were a little too destructive and maybe too intense where as we wanted a more natural feel as opposed to a nuclear disaster zone!



I also looked at a game called Resistance: Fall of Man which is on PS3. I felt the environments in this worked quite nicely as basically it has taken London and ruined it. This is kind of the effect we want with Barcelona in the fact we want to destroy it a little and rough it up. Jeff also looked at Gears Of War on XBOX 360 which is a good source of inspiration and we all agreed we liked this look and style as we are big fans of the game, however we also liked the new look for the game Resident Evil 5 as this is set in Africa with a real sun scorched look with intense heat.

Sam and Jeff are also looking into other environments they like the look of for further inspiration both from films and games.
