  1. Lift Pitch “ Learn to drive in a fresh new way. Animated manoeuvres, no old guy being patronising. Fresh, modern and up to date content with all new legislation covered. Online based, no need to install software, available anywhere. Discuss procedures with other people learning to drive. Pixel drive, driving point by point. ” Neil Magill | Pixel Drive Presentation

  2. What is PixelDrive? • PixelDrive is a fresh new project based on helping people learn to drive or drive in a • safer way. • It uses a specialised form of illustration called Pixel Art. • Being based online, it is accessible anywhere with an internet connection. • It is free. • It requires no specific installation of software or setup of the users computer. • It can help make the roads safer. • It shows with clear and concise diagrams how to perform various tasks on the • road, without any assumption.

  3. Basis of Project • The basis of PixelDrive is for my final year project in University. This will act as my • dissertation of sorts. • I chose a driving reference site as it is one subject I am very interested in and effects • the vast majority of people on a daily basis. • Illustration is an area I would like to develop my knowledge of. I chose pixel art as a • medium to do this as I feel it would challenge me and still allow a high quality end result. • During research I conducted a survey. One question I asked was whether people • thought an interactive version of the Highway Code would be useful. 45 people out of • 45 answered yes. Neil Magill | Pixel Drive Presentation

  4. Existing Solutions • There are quite a few Existing Solutions that exist for showing people how to drive. • The majority only cover learner drivers, rather than act as a reference for all drivers. • The quality of these packages that are available is very poor, this covers both CD and • web based solutions. • Another question I asked during research was whether people found there to be a lack • of driving information online. Out of 45, 26 people (57%) had answered yes. I would • however suggest that not all respondents had looked up information about driving online. Neil Magill | Pixel Drive Presentation

  5. Why PixelArt? • I chose Pixel Art as a method of illustration for several reasons: • A unique concept for driving illustrations. • A simplified method of illustration, makes simple but detailed explanatory scenes. • The isometric style is very suited to illustrating roads, junctions etc. • It adds to a modern, fresh, informal and simple look used for the site. • Illustration is an area in which I need more experience in.

  10. Conclusion • In conclusion I feel PixelDrive is a fresh new concept for an issue that affects most • people each day. • It is something different in comparison to existing bland and formal solutions. Neil Magill | Pixel Drive Presentation
