OUGD603 Brief 5: Initial Ideas and Concepts

Initial Ideas and concepts


Completely original idea. Set rules, restrictions and backstory to work with. 5 stores/locations each?

Ideas:
  • Field Guide/Art Book
  • In movie print props
  • Sci-fi physical prop
  • Street Design: Could include store fronts, signage, street signs, posters, flags, a boards, advertising,
  • Fantasy theme park similar to the one in Jurassic world (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a39EzErXCCs&t=90s) I really like this idea, lots of scope, could create the maps, advertising, signs, promo, tickets, etc. Could still have a theme/genre
  • Create a fantasy, sci fi product and its packaging / marketing

Potential Themes:
  • Sci-fi
  • Western
  • Period/Medieval/Fantasy
  • Alien World
  • Alternate History - What if x had continued to rule
  • Post-Apocalypse
  • Future City

Alt-History Ideas - What if:
  • There was a current ice age
  • The Egyptians conquered england instead of the romans (in the past? Current? Future)
  • The Egyptians discovered America (Mayan/Egyptian Culture develops)
  • The spanish lose against the Mayans. Spain conquered by the mayans.
  • The Japanese had colonised Australia (Past? Current? Future?)
  • Humans not dominant race
  • Modern Speech & Writing never developed. Primitive art, pictograms and visual communication is used instead.
  • Medieval England invented space travel
  • Egyptian or Medieval times, but electricity was invented 4000 years earlier
  • Russia conquer and set up a base on the moon/mars
  • Easternized world where china becomes the dominant cultural and political influence
  • The roman and Egypt empire had grew to the point that it had take over the western world. Maybe have it as one the modern day worlds super power. An opposing power could be the Chinese empire
  • A world were the Vikings had conquered the seas having England as their base of operations in the modern world. Have the culture based strongly on the gods and an underline magic belief. Don’t believe in using long distance weapons. (maybe have mastered the world of flight)
  • When America set foot on mars they stayed there and began to colonise it with maybe bio spheres. Could also be Russia or China just to give it a completely different aesthetic
  • Egypt uses there pyramids as citys that move over the world (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZbkF-15ObM)
  • Atlantis never sank, it has always been underground, they’ve grew over the years, expanding their under world city. Light comes form artificial sorces. Power source could be based on the use of: lava, glow worms,
  • Britons overpowerd the romans and uk has been a country people are too scared to try and invade due to the barbaric and celtic nature of its people. Culture is very mistic and specialise in the connection between people and the earth. Expand the borders of the uk, connecting it to Ireland with manmade land bridges
  • Countries turned into space ships (based on the dr who starship uk episode) Could be really cool to see a city entirely indoors and how the streets would look, how the signs would look, etc.
  • Zeplins took over the skys and planes wernt invented. Have sky docks for them to land in and have these docks as mini citys based on obtaining hydrogen/ helium form the air
  • The wheel was never invented
  • Mortal engines
  • Skyscapers where thought to be redicus so instead of building them up, they started to build them downward into the ground to the point the was a second city below the ones on the ground
  • Space elevator was fully developed and leads to a city like space station for the best and brightest
  • Alt history ideas:
    • The roman and Egypt empire had grew to the point that it had take over the western world. Maybe have it as one the modern day worlds super power. An opposing power could be the Chinese empire
    • A world were the Vikings had conquered the seas having England as their base of operations in the modern world. Have the culture based strongly on the gods and an underline magic belief. Don’t belive in usig long distance weapons. (maybe have mastered the world of flight)
    • When America set foot on mars they stayed there and began to colonise it with maybe bio spheres.
