After week 7’s feedback I was told to start creating reference boards for each element of my game. These are different to mood boards and are more detailed usually with annotations.
This website was given to me by my lecturer and it details different types of reference boards and their purposes.
Reference Board
Filled with materials, textures, colours and explanations. Originally would have been done physically however now most are made digitally.
Call Out Sheet
Most commonly the concept is in the middle with arrows guiding the viewer to details, essentially “calling” them out, hence the name.
Reference Packet
Includes the concept and real life influences. Usually given to the modeller so they can bring it to life.
To make these boards I will be using a web and app based software called Milanote. They have a handy how to make a mood board guide on their website.
