Initial ideas 

From left to right. 

A booklet built around the idea of giving advice to parents as to how they can keep their children occupied and stimulated through activities and methods which are beneficial to their child's physical and phycological growth, instead of them being continuously occupied on their computer game screens. 

An analogue dance game which would give the child the option to build the dance set anywhere and play out their favourite dance moves from the game. This would come with packages for contemporary games which are popular right now. 

A top trumps/snap style card game which would feature characters and images form current popular games such as fortnite. This could go hand in hand with the booklet. 

A sandwich board made to present the themes of obsessive gaming and how it impacts people in differing ways. The aim to present a survey of how people reacted to the idea of gaming having a negative or positive impact on them as a child. The audience would throw a ball into either the positive or negative pocket in the board, giving them a sense of interactiveness you'd find in a game, while also making them think about the question literally through the reading of the text an making text on top, and then subconsciously through the focusing on that one pocket/answer by attempting to throw the ball through. The experiment was interesting as it gave allowed the individual to question their own self and to see what the impact was on the rest of the larger class. This could create a conversation as to where they stand on the impact of obsessive gaming and how we can stop this from hindering or hurting someones a child's growth and wellbeing as they grow into their adult selves. 

The main take question to take back from the critique was the brief title itself, what good am i putting into the world with this project. The topic is strong and the question of how gaming 'affected you' provokes thought, the outlet/production from this question needs to be something that will have a positive impact on the rehabilitation or growth of someone who gaming has had a negative impact on through in their life. This potentially could be tackled through the initial idea of creating a booklet which people can use to similuate and replace the stimulation they get through gaming (i.e. levelling up and gaining new desirables in a game; and replacing this stimuli with a reward system based on desirable/social activities)
