The evening will feature 2 presentations:

The Art Of GTA Chinatown Wars
Ian Bowden, Lead Artist, Rockstar Leeds
"A talk about the sprite based work and other artwork done for GTA Chinatown Wars by Rockstar Leeds..."

Communicating Themes and Ideas through Interaction
Steve Lee, Game Designer, Midway Newcastle
"A talk on some of the ways in which games can communicate themes and ideas interactively, and how this relates to games as education, games as art, and hopefully games making loads of money somewhere along the way..."

There will be time to network both before and after the talks.
