Cairns Council Dog Game

18 October 2023

As part of a collaborative initiative between Cairns Regional Council and CQUniversity, the "Getting to Know Your Dog" project aimed to educate young dog owners about responsible pet care and safe interactions. Designed for children aged five to eleven, this suite of five animated online games offers an engaging and interactive way to learn about dog behaviour, safety, and proper pet care. The project was successful and is now apart of the Cairns Region Councils website. See Game…

My Role in the Project:

I was responsible for developing all the illustrations and visual elements of the game, ensuring an engaging and child-appropriate art style. I designed one of the five games, focusing on creating an educational yet entertaining experience. I collaborated closely with the Cairns Regional Council to understand their requirements, incorporate their feedback, and ensure the final product met their expectations. Working virtually with a talented team of fellow students across central and north Queensland, I honed my teamwork and communication skills. I also assisted in project management, ensuring milestones were met and the project progressed smoothly. Additionally, I was involved in the testing, gathering and analyzing feedback to refine and improve the game before its final release, and I participated in multiple presentations to the client during the Alpha, Beta, and Acceptance stages of the project.
