Background Graphics
Background Graphics can really set a mood and setting for a game for example in Rocket League you have a normal football pitch but it is set in different locations because of the background setting a image for the player. Backgrounds are very important and create a great atmosphere and imagination for the player.

This image is a good example because you can see that there islands are not that high up in the sky due to the background. But if the background were to change to cloudy high up in the sky background then the player would think that the islands are really high up in the sky.

HUD
In a game a HUD is very important, HUD stands for head up display. A HUD displays everything the player needs to know form there health, xp, level and mana etc. It also is needed for other things like a crafting menu in a game that is all on the HUD and not actually in the game. A HUS is usually 2D but it can be made 3D by say putting it on a watch that the players can look at.
