Dossier Plan

The information dossier Why, who, what, where, how? The following items are some of the ideas we have discussed in class and with each other. Presented here in no particular order, are some of the things we are looking for with regards to both the aspects of your assessment. This is neither an exhaustive or compulsory list… Context: Existing situation or scenario(s); Students starting at universities (first years or exchange students) find it hard to make friends and come out of their shells.  Impact on every-day wellbeing; Students in these situations are prevented from making friends, therefore don't have people to help them feel comfortable or relief stress. Friends in the same courses can help with their understanding of assessments.

I really like the line art images that bring together the answers. I'm thinking I could use images for the questions or the inside? Also this game has a website which I would like to incorporate into my design.
