For my Sportswheel I decided from the start that I wanted to stick with a sport so I could stay relatively close to the original theme. I thought with the up and coming Olympics to go for a track and field sport but without going for one of the obvious choices, so I decided on making a shot put sportswheel.
After making several mock ups I found that I wanted to steer away from using a wheel and turned it into a bar with a treadmill like effect. I also thought it could be a nice idea to have an athlete placed at the front of the wheel/bar, and put the shot so I could have that as the way of deciding which number would be chosen.
For my colour scheme I wanted to try and give a track and field feel to it so I went for a light grassy green and yellow. I used green for the background and made most of the objects (stake, balance, play button and score) yellow.
For the odds I wanted to use a shot put circle but with the amount of circles that were already on the screen I thought it would be a better idea to change it into a square, whilst keeping the design similar to a shot put circle. I also changed the chips into shots so to stick with the theme.
I made a very brief animation to show roughly what I want my sportswheel to do but I hope to add more to it. I need the wheel/bar to be moving and animate the athlete so he actually has a throwing motion when he puts the shot. I also need to make all the objects that are used to be fully functional. I want to add a music option as well, most probably playing the Olympic theme tune in the background and also an option to view the rules.
