Design Brief for a 5x3 Slot Machine Reel Layout:

• Background:

  • Scene: A desert oasis at sunset.

  • Elements: A golden pyramid in the distance, a reflective pool of water, lush palm trees, and a vibrant sky transitioning from warm orange near the horizon to deep blue higher up, with faintly twinkling stars.

• Layout:

  • Reels: A clear 5x3 grid (5 columns and 3 rows) representing the slot machine reels.

  • Cells: The grid cells should be clearly defined, ideally with borders or subtle shading to indicate placeholders, but left empty (i.e., no symbols inside the squares) so that symbols can be added later.

• Decorative Elements:

  • Include small, decorative Egyptian-themed casino icons (for instance, a miniature golden pharaoh’s mask or a scarab beetle) around the edges or corners of the layout. These should be subtle and serve as decorative accents rather than focal points.

• Color Palette:

  • Primary Colors: Gold (for pyramids, decorative elements, and accents), turquoise, and emerald green.

  • Additional Colors: Warm orange and deep blue for the sunset sky and overall ambience.

• Animation Consideration:

  • If planning for animation later, design the layout so that elements like the palm leaves or water ripples can be animated subtly.

• Final Format:

  • Output: PNG

  • Dimensions: Approximately 1792 x 1024 pixels (or a similar wide ratio)

 

Target Audience:

This game is designed to appeal to both casual players and high rollers, with its immersive theme, engaging bonus features, and the potential for big wins. The stunning visuals and captivating sound design will draw players in, while the variety of features will keep them entertained.
