OVERVIEW

Blocks and Bridges is a design-based game that uses prompts for design generation to help improve users’ design skills to help process creative blocks in an engaging and playful way. Creative blocks can be very detrimental to a designer’s confidence and is something that will be addressed by Blocks and Bridges. The purpose of this project is to explore how a game will help to process creative blocks, through a tangible and analogue approach.
