Adobe Photoshop, 4096 PX x 2048 PX
The purpose of this project was to create a 2D side-scrolling level design that followed a theme for a video game.
The first step in this project was to choose a theme for the final level game design. The theme chosen for this project was underwater and ocean since I personally like the visuals and animals found here.

The second step was to conduct visual research. This helped to gain inspiration when creating the level game design concept.
The third step in this project was to create several thumbnails to visualize the concept of the level game design. First, the background was drawn to establish the art style and overall composition of the piece as seen above. Next, two options were drawn to see the connection between the foreground, mid-ground, and background layers. This also helped to establish how the character would navigate through the game.
The fourth step in this project was to create a palette that would establish the colours that would be used in the final level game design. Certain colours were inspired by visual research and other artists.
