MOODBOARD Play and Learn

Before you start on any detailed design work you must create a moodboard. This is where you communicate your initial design ideas for your game. You should use it to get feedback from your game testers. 

The moodboard should include inspirational materials/images for: 

• the game genre and style
• settings/environments
• any original characters
• any music, sound effects or speech
• anything else you think is important.

You should annotate your moodboard to explain your ideas.

 Create your moodboard.

Play and Learn Evidence

EVIDENCE IT

Preparing the evidence

Make sure you have all the evidence you need in your PRODUCTS and EVIDENCE folders.

The CiDA Moderator's Toolkit specifies the file types that all moderators can view. It is your responsibility to ensure that your eportfolio only includes files that can be read using the toolkit.

The CiDA Moderator’s Toolkit is published on the Edexcel website.

Making the evidence accessible

Make sure that your game can be played by the moderator (i.e. export it into a format that can be used with the CiDA Moderator's Toolkit). Games authoring project files are not acceptable.

Create a single index page which will allow the moderator to access all your evidence.

The page must include:

• your name and candidate number, centre name and number
• the title of this SPB (DA204 Play and Learn)
• links to the game, promo and all other evidence.

Save your index page in your main DA204SPB folder.
