Online Media Kit

The press kit I'd like to use as an example comes from the website of Game Developer's Conference 2010. It's highly relevant to my group because we are also designing a game software summit. The company which handles PR for the conference also had a really interesting website which I'm linking to beneath the link for the GDC kit.

Review of Justin Ard's Exercise

I randomly selected Justin Ard's technical writing exercise as the one I would review.

On first inspection, I found it to be very well-done. It really helped to clear up the instructions, the original of which had me confused, to be honest. Even though I know how to set up a shared drive on a Windows OS, the original instructions were horrible enough to make me forget. I thought that Justin's instructions were extremely clear and concise, and they were good enough to make me want to go re-write my own in shame. I think he decoded the originals very well and translated them into basic English which would be easy-to-follow even for the inexperienced operator.

Read Justin's version here.
