The whole point…..

CiDA Unit 5: Gaming

A mood board is like a poster or collage that captures the overall “feel” of an idea. The mood board may be used throughout development as a frame of reference or inspiration.

It may be composed of visual or written artefacts—photos clipped from magazines, internet or scanned in images that give an initial overview of the game you will try to produce.

What the spec says….

“be aware that the moodboard is only early thoughts and stimuli for their game and should not contain aspects such as developed characters or other detailed design work…..”

“For 3 marks or more a student must have worked independently at LEVEL 2”
