 Artist style 

There is a diffident type of Artist style in the games for this exercise I’m got to explain four diffident type of art style what game designers use in their games.

Photorealism-if game company use this design they want to make the graphics to look more realistically. It is used in a game like to make the character design more realistically. Game what use this style is used in fallout, the last of us and heavy rain.

The picture is from the last of us to show that its art style is Photorealism 

My favourite game what use this style is a game call P.T here a video.

This games really amazed on how this game looks like it looks so real and how creepy it is. 

Cel shading-Cel shading uses a texture of an object is made look like a comic book or a cartoon it using flat colours to give the impression that it is all hand drawn. The style was made popular after the release of borderland, and any games from the Telltale games.

Telltale games use cel-shading in all of their games

My favourite Cel shading game is Zelda breath of the wind.

Abstraction-abstraction is a style often employ to use a lot of lines and geometric what don’t resemble any real-life objects. it usually uses this style in puzzle games for e.g. Tetris, VVVVVV, and Beautiful Katamari.

Exaggeration-exaggeration is a style that uses an anime/manga style. It features of character with bigger eyes and their hair spikier, they are designed them some time with unrealistic weapons .e.g. the buster sword from Final Fantasy 7. The games that use this style are more JRPG’S series like Final Fantasy, Persona and Kingdom hearts and some use in games that are based on an anime like Dragon Ball z, One Piece and Naruto.

This video is from persona 5 and the style it uses for there games is exaggeration   

Pixel art-pixel art is style what made popular in 80s with NES with games like Mario, Zelda and Metroid. It still being used to this day but mainly by indie game like super meat boy, fez and undertale.

This picture is from Fez and the style what they use are pixel art to give it a retro feel. 

Handicraft-This style is use to make the world look like it hand made like with cardboard, paint and paper. the games use this style are usually games that you can make you own characters and levels e.g, little big planet and Mario paint.
