Communicating Through Visuals - Peer Review Assignment:

Objective

In this assignment, you will create visual assets (screenshots, GIFs, or videos) for your personal projects, capstone, and/or portfolio. The goal is to showcase different aspects of your work and skills in a way that effectively communicates your intended message.

Your Task

1. Create at Least Two Visual Assets
   • A featured project card: This should act as a thumbnail or preview to grab attention for a project.
   • A feature explanation: A visual that clearly explains an important feature of your project.

2. Describe Your Intent

   • Along with each visual, write a short explanation of what you want it to communicate.
   • Example: “This GIF is meant to highlight the dynamic lighting system in my game and how it interacts with player movement.”

3. Post Your Submission

   • Upload your visuals to the forum. You can embed them directly or provide links (YouTube, Imgur, google drive etc.).
   • Include your description for each visual.

Peer Review Guidelines

1. Review at Least Three Other Students' Submissions

   • Prioritize those with fewer responses.

2. Provide Meaningful Feedback

   • Does the visual effectively communicate the intended message?
   • Is the framing, lighting, or timing appropriate?
   • If it’s a GIF or video, is it the right length and format for the intended purpose?
   • How could the clarity or impact be improved?

3. Engage in Discussion

   • Respond to feedback on your own work and discuss possible refinements.

Why This Matters

• High-quality visuals are critical for portfolios, resumes, and job applications.
• Learning to craft visuals that communicate clearly will help you stand out.
• Giving and receiving feedback will help you refine your own approach.

Deadline: Ensure your post and feedback are submitted before the deadline.
