> More literal representations of chat bubbles do work better, more obvious what they are representing and therefore better communication on topic to viewer 
> Still abstracted through colours and effects
> Wavy type from before felt unstructured and inconsistent, but this bar over the dialogue bubbles doesn't work for dialogue B, unreadable text 
> Bar between each bubbles was to connect them and present the descriptions of what occurs within these conversations


Game mode alterations:
> Difficulty in number of hearts?
> Problem is that a lot of games place hard as better option, which contradicts idea of using game layout and language to reflect positivity = easy
> Number of hearts? Visually more positive and relates to number of hearts given to player (more means easier) 
> Rather than hearts circles may be more consistent in the visual language so far adopted 


> What outputs could these be designed into?
> What would best encourage and engage people into questioning their choices and daily mindset? 
> Target audience with this aesthetic has naturally become those who engage with games perhaps or younger people who would find this futuristic digital aesthetic appealing 


PEER FEEDBACK 
whoa these are wicked !!! I think it works yeah I’m not too sure like what else there would be you’d want to say? like what is the intention behind these again it’s hard to critique them without fully understanding but I can see the story they’re telling and they look fantastic!! 

perhaps as a website? or as a video game?

i feel like with that intention it could be more clearly communicated by instead of saying like ‘session’ or ‘game’ but instead saying life and acc treating the visuals like it’s the start screen to life itself

> Website could be interesting as it could create a sense of choice and decision making from the user as they interact with the site, therefore engaging them into the notion that these choices affect real life too 
> Wanted to give it a tactile and real life output as well however to transfer this idea to real life, rather than keeping it in the digital sphere and therefore less relevant around real life choices 
> Video game therefore too literal and wouldn't communicate the idea as successfully 

TO DO 
> Sketches of UX in website format of designs

 To Complete Website: > Name Love.jpeg created into artwork for starting page  > Lydia Article  > Joely Article  LYDIA + JOELY COLLAGE PIECES FOR ARTICLES  So - During lockdown 0.1, I found myself happily single and most definitely enjoying a little bit of me time… I was adamant that nobody was going to distract me from this intense period of isolation. One day I decided to go on a walk round the park (by myself of course). All of a sudden I find myself bumping into an old family friend’s son. This is someone who I have fancied since I was a kid, and admired from a far… We got chatting and ended up having a socially distance convo for about half an hour. FYI - I knew this person had a GF… When I got home and checked my phone, he had slid into my DMs and we started texting. One thing lead to another - he ended up confessing he’s been in love with me for years, he split up with his girlfriend the next day and we also got a private apartment in town where ...

Identity EVALUATION

Alike to GAIA EXRTH, it was disappointing not being able to complete the brief within the timescale set out. I recognise that I like working a lot on passion projects and pushing them further and further, to the point that perhaps the goals I set are unrealistic or I spend too long on one level/area of the project. In this case this was a research brief and I set out to spend a lot of time doing research and testing ideas. I found this a more difficult brief to do within the covid landscape and felt less inspired, as I wanted to go out into the world and look at things, ask people, visit places and so on. This meant this project took a back seat and by the end of the year revisiting it so late on meant there was no time to fulfil the visions I had for the project. It's exciting however to have so many projects I'm interested in to be continuing after uni as it means I can keep the momentum up of designing and producing more ideas and more work. The overall concept of this inter...
