Theme: The theme of our project was the emergence of video games and their impact on society. We chose topic because video games have become one of the biggest form of entertainment for teens and children alike. They have also had a huge impact on society through their creation of a generational gap and their influence on popular culture.
Choice of Items: We chose items we felt best represented early video games and displayed their impact on society. These items included items that represented the gaming industry, such as an advertisement for an early arcade and advertisements for specific video games.
Method to obtain items: We used a variety of methods to obtain objects. First, we checked to see if any of the members of our group had the item. If so that was great, otherwise we had to expand our search. We then asked our friends and family members if they could supply the necessary items, and, after a bit of searching around, we got most of what we hoped to get.
What we would do differently: I think if I were to do this again I would make our display a bit more colorful. Although we were going for a somewhat uncolorful look and yet busy look in order to imitate the style of old video games, I feel as though this concept did not come across in our layout.
Advice for next years Class: Good communication is the key for this project. Make sure all of your group members are in the loop and understand what needs to be done. Good communication makes the whole project, from designing the layout to obtaining the sources, much easier.

Nice posting, maybe you should try to make it more fluent writing it as a text, without copying down the things asked in the paper or paraphrasing them.
ReplyDeleteyour topic was interesting but your write up was a little short. The items and thoughts that went into your project seem good.
