Comments for Matthew Mensher's Work

I love the Project 7 - Deliverable with the perspective room design. It looks very colorful and the jagged edges bring out some good optical illusions. The only thing I'd say needs improving is the placement of some of the doors which currently don't sit flush with some of the perspective lines. Other than that, some change in the color gradient with blurring from the foreground to the background of the image with realistic lighting effects would really bring out the realism of the room situated in the picture. Do that and you'll be all set.

This is a very dynamic design with bright colors that appeal very much to the sports genres. Although, that is not the primary focus of my imaginary game, it is very close to the hopeful, open-spirited themes I'd like my game to reflect.

This logo has some very cool 3D elements that fit in very well with what I'd like to do for my logo animation. It is fast-paced and exciting. That's exactly what I'd like to include in my animation.

I love the diversity of images here. Every mood board has its own identity and unique look. Just add a few more swatches to the first and fourth mood board and you'd be all set.

Brian Eisenberg

The images are brilliant. I just think you could add some more swatches to better flesh out each mood board's identity.

A few of the mood boards don't look unique enough and bear too much resemblance to one another. I think that could be fixed with different images and more swatches. Otherwise, good job.

Olivia Gutierrez

Not much to complain about here. Just try to add a few more swatches in mood board #2.

Evan D. LeClair

Excellent work with the color swatches. I like the diversity of imagery too.

I really like how every image looks different from each other. The gradient change in the successive color swatches also works really well. Keep up the good work.

Ralph Perricelli

Very creative with the placement of the swatches. I like the images as well. Each mood board gives one a good idea of what the game's about. Nice job.

Joseph Verducci

This truly looks cool. I love pretty much the whole thing. All I can ask for is more mood boards as I can't get enough from just these. And that's not a bad thing. Good job.

Alexander Weitzner

Nice. The landscapes are lush and beautiful. The only thing missing here is a mood board for a playable character. Add that and it will be a job well done.

Review

Based on the comments I've received, I will add more swatches to some of the mood boards. Other than that, I feel like a few more images would help further flesh out every aspect of the game. Once that is done, I would think these set of mood boards would be complete.
