9. Thesis Diary

Dec 1

Describe your design process with the second deliverable.

My design process for my second deliverable has had a lot to do with playing games and testing out ideas. I've been thinking about this deliverable since the start of my work on my thesis so I've always had sketches, though sometimes quite messy, of the game concepts I wanted to incorporate in the game. I lot of the logistical and strategy components of my game have been done in collaboration with my boyfriend you is a game designer and together we've pre-tested our ideas before I moved on to the design and prototyping phase.

Give us an update on your user testing.

I'm currently gathering users to test. Since I'm still revisiting my visual system and brandmark, I have the user testing sessions scheduled for the next two weeks.

How do you currently promote yourself as a designer?

I have an Instagram where I curate images to show my designs and a website online portfolio. I've also been trying to start being active on Tik Tok and sharing videos of my design process.

How are you sharing your thesis with the world?

Through Instagram and Tik Tok.

How do you think you can draw more social media traffic and attention to your work?

I currently work with a brand and create a lot of content for social media and one of the best ways to drive traffic to social media platforms is by creating content schedules and being consistent. Having a strategy for social media and making the most of content (reposting, scheduling for the times that result in the best reach) is the best way to drive more traffic.
