Written comunication

written communication

For the exercise 'written communication' we looked at the 'monster island game pitch' and evaluated it based on things like e.g. grammar, punctuation, spelling, layout, consistency, readable or not and overall professionalism of the document.

The grammar used in the text was mostly negative 'PS2 is a pain in the butt' using the word butt is a negative word to use if you want to pitch a game because its not being professional, negative use of words and you wouldn't be taken serious or even slightly considered. We also looked at the punctuation in the document, the punctuation was one of a few positves in the document, constant use of full stops commas, exclamation marks and more in the appropriate places was why I thought the punctual parts were good.

Another thing I looked at in the document was the spelling which was also one of a few other positives because no words were wrongly spelt which overall was another positive and a good step towards a good design document. the layout was average due to it being organised but it was poor in the sense that you dint know what you're reading e.g. it doesn't say where the characters are and it pretty hard to find and it shouldn't be like so also it had random quotes all around it which I wasn't sure about what they represent. It should be easier to find and readable which is yet another negative in the document, I found the text very hard to read due to the text being too small, they could have improved this by making the font bigger or bolder so its easier to read.

Overall I thought the document for was very poor due to having far too many negatives against the positives. Things like use of inappropriate words in the context, bad grammar, poor layout and the document being unreadable make it a very poor games pitch document. I feel to make it a professional document they would have to make a lot of improvements and modifications to the document, maybe using more pictures a better background and better laid out information would be a start to improving the Document.
