Last year at Animex, Zaid Shaikh did quite a few portfolio reviews and he found himself giving the same feedback to most students e.g. students had a massive game design doc (GDD) of their project along with bigger writeups and not one video of their game. If there was a video of the game, it was a voiceless playthrough. As a potential employer, Zaid says you don't have the time to read through a GDD to understand someone's game and he would much prefer to see a voiced explanation of the game and their design process etc.

It's letting students know about those kinds of mistakes that can help their portfolio stand out amidst a sea of others.

This is a workshop for Game Design students.
