copyright


We have learned information on copyright involving games

  • i think the copyright system being used in the uk is good compared to other countries such as the usa and it seems to be in favor of the holder but gives a lot of leverage when a person would like to use a copyrighted asset. 
  • in my opinion a fair copyright term would be anything used for education and assets not being used for making  money off as long as the the copyright owner is given credit for there work i don't see the problem in using a copyright asset within reason.
  • things i think shouldn't be copyright include
  • images of games,films 
  • short clips of above as long as spoilers and extended amounts of video 
  • things i think should be copyright are 
  • titles
  • spoilers 
  • not  changing enough with an image

Three things that are good with the interfaces are:
quick navigation - moving between items and menus
clear descriptions - easy to read
clean interface design - crisp visuals not full of information

three things that are bad with the interfaces are:
basic UV design - not original
dated visuals - 2007 graphics
simple look  - basic in design

the interface could be improved by updating visuals as well as creating a more unique UV interface for the players to navigate menus through.
