For my final portfolio, I’ve chosen to revise my pitch deck and my game and produce an expanded game writing sample and podcast. I debated on making a realistic version of my board game, but my 3D printer knowledge is limited and creating the pieces that way would be ideal. With more practice, I could definitely make a prototype, but I’ll save it for a later date. I also thought about expanding the color design document into a brand book, though I love the game writing project more so it totally won.
I think revising my pitch deck would be extremely helpful because these are popular in many professions. We discussed pitch decks being useful for potential movies, projects, and positions in our future careers. Because of this, I think it would be a good option to revise. I got a bit of feedback with the suggestion to add a mood board for costuming and add the links for the revenue which I’ve implemented already. With the game, I’m really excited to incorporate the feedback I received in my revision. I have other concepts that I would love to include, but the mechanics of it are a bit complicated so it may be a project for later, too.
Picking projects to expand on was hard for me, but I settled on game writing because I’d love to get more into that field. I enjoy crafting the narrative of a thought-out story in my own writing, so combining my writing experience with a game character was one of my favorite things we’ve gotten to do. I really liked trying out the barks and creating more of them will be super great practice. And the podcast, of course, was an expanded draft already! We’ve taken the feedback and made lots of edits (hours of edits). We cleared up the audio and adjusted the clips so there’s a much better flow. Overall, I think my plan for my portfolio is pretty straightforward. I only really need to expand my barks themselves, write the reflection, and revise my game!
