Peer Review

In the peer review we had, we all had to display our presentation boards on our work and go around the room to look at what everyone had done. After that we got into groups and paired up, each pair would then look at two other peoples work and collectively give feedback for them. I generally got really good feedback, i didnt really get comments on how to change anything, it was all pretty positive, although it was mentioned how i should simplify the drawings for my game pieces, although i had already made that decision on the boards.

I think it was really useful feedback as it only backed up the decisions i had already made, leaving me feeling quite confident with the work i had done so far. 

After this, we were then given a task of having an A2 sheet of paper and in an hour and a half we had to draw what we needed to do next, plus write a to-do list. I found this task really useful for me, i have been wanting to start more on the development of illustrating the game, and this gave me a task which made me get a lot of my ideas down on paper in a short time.

We then produced this to the group we had previously been in and presented the development we had made using the feedback we were given. I mostly spent my time trying to do simplified versions of my game pieces, and i think i made a lot of progress in such a short amount of time, i actually like these drawings and will develop them further. I then asked specific questions that i had drawn up on the sheet, mainly to do with how i will show what each category is represented on the board.

I spent this time of presenting my work to fully describe the synthesis between the practical and the written and how the game will work. I did this as previous feedback questioned the synthesis and how complicated this work is. I think after explaining this fully to the group, i was given really positive feedback from all of them and i was really happy with it in the end. I think this task is probably something i am going to do personally as well, as it really helped me to get a;; of my ideas down on paper, instead of writing them or them being just stuck in my head.
