Laibinis Project 4 Thumbs

A Day In The Life Of A Video Gamer

I’m going to do my project on a day in the life of a video gamer.  Video games are a big hobby of mine, so I thought it would be fun to be able to play around with Photoshop exploring my passion for video games.  My life pretty much consists of school, work, video games, and sleep, so I think I have a pretty good idea of how I would portray a day in the life of a video gamer.  My boyfriend is a huge gamer, so I plan to use him in some of my photos.  What I’m trying to aim at is to make video game characters come to life; such as having a video game character sitting next to a gamer on the couch, having conversation, chilling, basically something that would be really cool to happen if it were to.  So I’m going to use my boyfriend Cody as my model for a “video gamer”.  In these sketches I have different scenarios where Cody is playing video games while a video game character (Cloud Strife) is sitting next to him on the couch, both of them playing video games.  I also have one of Cody in a video game environment, with armor/gear on, fighting a monster.  I guess these are more aimed of what a video gamer would want, rather than a normal day in the life of a video gamer.  So if these aren’t appropriate, I have a couple of Cody sitting alone on the couch, with a table full of junk food, soda, etc. playing video games.  I plan to sketch the video game controller, maybe some monsters from games, and props such as tables, food, etc.  I plan to take photos of Cody to use as photos.  I’m going for a more fun/silly approach, so hopefully my thumbnails translate as that.
