Evaluate written techniques D1

Grand Theft Auto design document evaluation

1. the first thing I noticed when looking at this design document was there are no pictures. this is a problem as it makes it more difficult for the reader to understand what they are talking about, it also makes it less entertaining to read. to improve this document they could have used pictures.

2. there are some good things about this document as it goes into a lot of detail when it comes to talking about different features in the game. this makes up for the lack of pictures as it allows the reader to picture what each thing is in there head but it would be more effective if they used actual pictures.

3. As this design document was scanned onto the computer I could notice a lot of things such as creases on paper, fold marks on the corner of the pages and even marks from where the designers have left there drinks on the paper. this makes the document look very unprofessional. to improve this they could have made a new copy and to look after the new copy of it by keeping it flat. this would have made it look neater and more professional

4. another thing i noticed about this design document was the font size was quite small, this made it hard for people to read the text and also made it a bit blurry when they scanned it onto the computer. i think they should have increased the font size as it would make it easier for people to read and would have used up some of the unnecessary spaces they left on the document. another thing they could have done to improve the font is to put more spaces in between each line. this makes it easier to see when the sentence ends.

5. this document is consistent throughout. it has a subheading at the top of each page and under this it has some writing explaining the ideas of the game. this makes the document more professional as it looks neater and it is easier to read.
