Abstract Graphics



Abstract graphics does not mean stylised or cartoonish but, it means to use bright colours and shapes that do not resemble anything that you would expect in real life. So objects of enlarged size or a countryside of yellow skys and purple meadows would be considered abstract as this is out of the ordinary and makes your brain work to identify the points of interest within this world. Games such as Limbo use this is a strange way,as it is classified as an abstract game but does not use bright colours to emphasise things, but it uses all dark shadowing to blend all things together and to make it so nothing stands out. This is still considered abstract but it is used in a strange way. A more easily identifyable way of showing an abstract game would be with Geometry Wars, This uses flashing lights and a variety of strange shapes to resemble asteroids. This is a much more understandable way to show off an abstract graphic style.
