Game Over

So this is it.

This is the end of the road.

As said in the opening post of this blog, I'm a student at Rutger's university. This blog was made as an assignment for Strategic Presentation , which was a course discussing how to manage your social media account in the modern world, how to build up a brand name, and how to get your image out there and appeal to an audience.

Now the course is ending though, ans with that this blog shall too end- it's been an interesting ride, even if my publishing schedule wasn't the most consistent.
The collaborative podcast, I have to say, was an interesting learning tool- not only was it one of my first experiences with the creation of an MP3, it was also one of the first group projects I've done at Rutger's university, and gave me a decent idea of what to expect going forward. I also learned, a bit begrudgingly, that a podcast format does not lend itself too well to a review style- the lack of any visual cues or indicators makes it very difficult to discuss any specific scenes or moments that occur throughout, or even give the audience a brief idea of what the form of media (in this case, it was Night In The Woods) even looks like, which in gaming in particular, is a very big flaw: many games rely specifically on their graphics or art style, and not being able to actively share that in a review detracts from the experience.

The class too has taught me a decent deal. There's a considerable deal that goes into managing a digital brand- keeping a consistent identity, knowing your target audience, knowing how to connect to that audience, etc. Having to run this blog helped eep that in mind, connecting all projects I do in relation back with a consistent name (or, well, semi-consistent admittedly at points) and links connecting all of them back to the blogspot page proper.
