Growth Mindset Challenge: Feedback

After reading the article: "Giving Creative Feedback-A Guide for Those Who Aren't Creative" by 'Deborah Manue', there are some new things that I have Learned and some things that I already new before. For example something that I didn't know before when giving creative feedback was the following:
  1. Now put aside your initial reaction.
Don’t talk yet. Your initial reaction may reflect your own biases more than the work itself.
  1. Notice where your eye wants to go first, second and third.
Your eye should go to the first, second, and third most important pieces of information, in that order. If your eye goes somewhere else, or doesn’t know where to go, the information hierarchy needs to be improved.

Something that I did know before was the following: 
  1. Take a breath and gauge your initial reaction.
How does it make you feel? What does it make you think about? Does it feel similar to something you’ve seen or experienced before? Gauging your initial reaction can help you separate your own likes and dislikes from the actual effectiveness of the piece.

I think that this will be something that I will be curious  to explore further when discussing creative feedback: 
  1. Look for any red flags.
Is there anything in the creative that could be misinterpreted? Is there anything that could possibly be offensive to your target audience?
I will research this type of technique about giving creative feedback in order to help me in the future.

Introduction to a future something....?

Introduction Post: The best class that I took last semester was 'Design Process & Practice'. I really enjoyed this module last semester because I found it to be very interesting and creative. I really enjoyed using the program, 'Illustrator' when I was making posters, leaflets and some lab task work. I found it to be exciting because it was a module where I could let my creativity fly! I also found the group assignment to be informative and fun. I found working in a group to be an experience which intrigued me. I worked on projects in a group for an assignment and we would meet up and describe our ideas and do brainstorms. We also chose to do one task each and come in and meet up and discuss and present what we each had done. I chose to do the research and statistics part because I taught that i would found that job to be the most interesting for me. This module really helped me gain a better understanding of how to use the program, 'illustrator' and how t

Final Game Design Document

I have completed my final GDD (Game Design Document). My previous GDD didn't have enough detailed information in it where I would be able to hand it over to games developer and programmer. It would have not been enough information for my game to be produced and made the way that I wanted. Therefore I updated my DunDoc . All of the required information for my game will be in my GDD DunDoc. There is now a game architecture feature in my GDD as well as any other information that was needed. Screenshot of my DunDoc GDD

Game Vision Statement

Welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be discussing my chosen game genre and what the game-play of my game will be like. The genre that I chosen for my game is a children's interactive educational story based game. The style of the game will be simplistic yet, cute meaning that I will have 'cute' looking characters in my game to appeal to children. The game will be colourful and 'animated' looking meaning, it won't have a realistic style to it. I believe choosing this type of style will appeal to my target audience for my game. My game will be story-based which means that the player will choose from a list of choices in response to for example; a question or a route that they may take.                There will be many interesting tasks and choices that the player must make in order to not bore the player resulting in the player quitting the game before completing it. The game will be very interactive which will  hopefully keep the player interested and inve
