Summary- New Media

Before starting to develop this app, I was aiming for a fresh design of the app and to be user friendly. My main target was to design a simple to use app, that everybody could understand, like and use it.

After understanding everything, did some research as part of the process. I had to understand what the client needed, which was the college app, which has to be user friendly and likeable  to the target group. The target group was for the people attending college, the ages may vary from 16 to 30 years old (or even older).

For the app visuals, started mixing different font and colours, after I decided 3 possible combinations, asked 5 people which one they liked the most, to use it for the app and most of them agreed on my first option, which was the college logo colours.

After testing the visuals of the app withe the group, decided to build it on Dreamweaver. I have also made a test to know the thoughts of the users, and everyone liked it, it is very easy to use and useful.

I have learnt lots of stuff I did not know during the research process, also learnt how to build an app and how to make it successful.

At the beginning of this course I felt like I was losing my time with all the research being done but, in the end realized that all the research was only to help me achieve my goals, without it I would not have built such a nice app or even learnt how to do it.

My strong point is that I go straight to the point, my weakness is all the written work in between. Next time I will pay more attention to the written work than thinking to build it at once.

Hi Fi evaluation app- New Media

Asked 6 people to try it. Gave them the same task to do, all of them finished the task with different times.

Everyone found it accurate, one person got lost at the start, but got there eventually. Task times go from 30 to 58 seconds to complete. The task was to enter as visitor in the app, go back, enter as student, log in, go to my course, then programme, term dates and finally go back to the main page (student or visitor's page).

Everyone found it easy to recall and very user friendly (easy to use).

The ages of the people that tested the app, vary from 18 to 50 years old. All of them liked the app and understood how to use it and completed the asked task.

Lo Fi prototype Evaluation- App- New Media

This evaluation shows how people feel and react about the layout of the app. (fonts, colours,etc.).
I asked 5 people to evaluate the font and colour combination of my app.
1=poor 5=great
visual impact: 5/5/5/5/5
navigation: 5/5/5/5/5
Font
easy to read?: 5/5/5/5/5
size/ spacing?: 5/5/5/5/5
appeal to target group?: 5/5/5/5/5
Colour
colours work together?: 5/5/4/3/5
appeal to target group?: 5/5/5/4/5
Additional features
understand what they do?: 5/5/5/5/5
easy to operate?: 5/5/5/5/5
Everyone liked the fonts and colours. 3 out of 5 voted 5 for the fonts and colours together, one voted 4 and one voted 3. It means that most of the peolpe liked the fonts and colours combined.

Analysis Notes- New Media

-PACT-

_People
             It would not matter the personality of the people using the app, because is going to be an informative app about the college.
             Is going to be an easy app to use. People with basic skills on phones would be able to understand how it works.

_Activities
             It is going to be used for small periods of time.
             It could be used anywhere the person is (college, bus, home, beach, etc), as long as there is internet connection.

_Context
             Activities in the campus, sport activities, meetings, social activities. Class times and room numbers. Information about the term dates and holidays. Grades and feedbacks, etc.
             Speed of the app may vary on the location if it does not have wifi coverage (wifi, 2g, 3g, etc).
             The app is for college students, although external people can get it, it would not give any details on any student of the college away.

_Technology
             Students will have their own accounts (username- password).
             The style and look will be fresh for any college student.
             Every week will be updated to cover the work students have o have not done.
             It has to be 100% accurate.
             It will be a web-app, so everybody can access to it, not importing the phone brand.
           
           

Assessment 1 part 2- 2D Animation

Process of paper or cel animation and Computer animation.

To create an animation exists to ways of doing it. Both ways are acceptable and only the animator can decided how to achieve the animation.

Mechanical process:

Paper or cel animation
Hand drawn images of the same object, same position, but small changes to it to create the animation.

Stage 1: First of all, decide what to animate, make a storyboard and draw or paint (cel) a sequence following it.

Stage 2: Photograph or scan the drawn or painted sequence.

Stage 3: Put the photographed images in order, film the sequence with a short period of time between each layer to create the illusion of movement.

Computer animation.

The process of creating animations with computer imaging. Mostly used for television, ads, movies and video games.

Already having a storyboard:

Stage 1: Create the object (s) to be animated in a animation software (eg Flash), using different layers.
Stage 2: Move the object (s) in different frames, or create two or mores frames.
Stage 3:  Create motion tween for the software to move the object between the frames. Each used frame has to be in a "key frame". You have to have control of the timing, being carefully selected by you and put it right to avoid having to star over.

Normally to create a digital animation, animators use computer software like Adobe Flash, to make the characters and "make them move" throughout sequential layers with the same character changing the position of the items being moved, tweens can be use to minimize the layers. The tweens fill the spaces between the layers (from a position to another).   Also the animator could make all the layers instead of using the tweens.

The timing in both types of animations is essential. The animators have to have the correct timing between each layer to make the movements as accurate as possible.
