Your article must be entirely your own work. Images must be all your own and must not appear on the internet. The text must be written by you. You can make it all up or it can be based on reality. You are marked for your writing, not whether it is true. You can make up names/ places etc or use real ones.

This should include their name/age/ where they are from/ how they got started in game design/ what their greatest achievements in game design have been.
