My Feedback Thoughts on Articles

 Learning From Mistakes


This article points out some interesting points of how giving negative feedback to someone affects both sides. It is a curious question why we find it hard to listen to negative feedback, if it is actually something that can make us better and lets us know where and how we can improve. Negative feedback is as important as positive but we only like to hear the good things about us. The articles states that we should think about how to give negative feedback correctly. It seems that at times negative feedback is not given in the right way. The article says that we should be fully honest and open, things shouldn't be sugar-coated. I like how the article trys to change your mind about negative feedback so that learn to improve from it. I understand the point of view the article is trying to get across and think that we should try to teach our self how to accept negative feedback and then use it as a opportunity to get better. 

The more mistakes we make the more we can improve and learn. We shouldn't take negative feedback as a downside or ignore it. It should be carefully listened to and recorded so that you can gain more knowledge and upgrade in your work. From this article I would say that it is important we keep that in our head and remember this for the future, so that next time we receive negative feedback we accept it and enhance from it.

I found this article very engaging as it was honestly written and it was very easy to relate to straight away. I think we all would easily agree that all people have or experience self doubt when is comes to their work. We compare our work to other great artists and work out there that is well known. This is a bad thing to do as we all are creative in a non-identical way. We all look at the world in a different way and have our own mind of creativity. The articles states seven ways to avoid self doubt in creative work and not comparing yourself to others is the first one on the list, which I think is right yet we all still do it.

The author speaks about a major point which I think it is one of the biggest causes of self doubt which is the fact that we all want to make our work be as perfect as possible. This relates to the first article a lot because it is when we work on something for a long time and want to make it perfect that we have the biggest difficulty to accept negative feedback. This is where our growth of mind should enter and make us aware that it is ok to make mistakes. The author is trying to tell us this in his article which I find fascinating how one thing hits on another and can relate to so many different things. The authors tries to let us know how important it is to treat your work as an experiment not a masterpiece and that you should trust yourself.

Introduction to a Future Designer

 Introduction Hi pink figure Hi pink figure Hi so it has been a while since I first started the  Creative Digital Media course in College. This course has taught me so much and there is so much more to learn. It is a very creative and fun course. Year 1 was interesting and became very challenging when Covid entered. There was a lot of late night works and was filled with assignments but I did it and now I am in second year.  I'm looking forward to this module because I like games and always was interesting in some game designs but never decided to take on this task on my own with any help. I feel that this module will answer my question about game design and career in multimedia.   There were some really good tasks that I enjoyed and did very well in like photography which changes your point of view on everyday objects and for me it woke up my eye for photography. Image manipulation was a very fun and entertaining task as it allowed you to create something out of this world and it

Game Design

 Reading about Games Type of a game Image source After doing the reading, I realised that there is a lot more to games than just a good idea, plan and software tools. I think that the question in the first reading "what is a game" is an extremely hard question to answer because it can mean something different for everyone. The truth is that most things in our life that we interact with a lot will have a different meaning to an individual. For someone a game might be nothing more than just a little fun way to complete a level or task and move on to the next one. Gamers see it as being part of their life, their break from reality, a brain exercise etc. There are some people that don't find a big interest in games and will have an even more different opinion on "what is a game?" I myself like gaming, I do it often if I have the time however thankfully I never get obsessed which means I can play whenever I have time and still be have my chores done. In my case I wou

Game Vision Statement

My Game Vision A quick sketch of my game idea After some brainstorming and researching, I have decided on my game idea and now can start to look into it more in depth. Although my idea is based on the games below and it will have the same controls and very alike gameplay, it won't be the same game as "Coin Rush" for example because I will be making my own version of the game. My main goal is to make the game more fun and interactive for the players, I want to add some adrenaline and rush to my own version of the game to make it more entertaining but not frustrating.  In my version the player will be a ball of ice and will have to complete the laid out course on a platform before the ball melts in order to complete the game. The player will have to balance the ball and hit certain objects to get through to the finish line, however the game will be over once the player drops the ball, hits an object that will make it crash or if the ball melts before reaching the finish lin
