about me

After getting a degree in Digital Media and Interactive Entertainment, I shifted my career into education. Major crossovers in these two subjects are subjects like Edutainment, also called Gamification. The goal of gamification is to engage the audience to get them involved and invested to better communicate a message.
I have ADHD and Dyslexia, so I literally think differently than a neurotypical person. I see this as an asset in design. My Dyslexia is part of my visual/special thinking, and creativity.
Role Playing Games, both video games and social games like Dungeons & Dragons are growing in popularity today. I greatly enjoy this type of interactive story telling with the personal investment of a choose your own adventure.

    ideas & impressions

  • Look and Feel: Creative, Interactive, Entertaining.
  • Atypical design to show a different perspective and creativity.
  • Suggest the use of gamification of communication.
  • The lowercase letters p b d and q are all rotations and inversions of each other. These letters are often confused by a dyslexic, and these specific lowercase letters are often used in symbols for dyslexia.
  • My initials are P.B. (Peter Brown) along with d and q could create an indirect reference to my dyslexia.

theme

My last name is Brown, a color. The color brown suggests natural materials, like wood, and old parchment. Also vintage images like sepia-tone photography, and medieval manuscripts like maps. This style of maps are often used in fantasy role playing. 

Site name: pete brown’s digital quests (in lowercase) uses my full name Pete Brown, and digital quests suggests and feel of whimsy and gamification. The word digital is relevant to my modern day design, and the word quest is commonly associated with fantasy stories and games. Making the portfolio look like a game shows the creativity I offer. 

With the letters p b d q being rotations and inversions of each other, they allow for a symmetrical logo. This symmetry is a subtle reference to my Dyslexia. The domain pb-dq.com is available.
