Blog #5-Design and Plan

For the Design and Plan stage, we have done a lot of work, and shown below are the detais of our PLAN, and our DESIGN


Our original plan was simple, and contained most of the things Mr. Jones had told us to make for our grade, and our presentation:

  • A Brochure done either on Macintosh PAGES, or Microsoft Publisher
  • iWeb website done on the Macs (including 7 pages)
  • An animoto video
  • A voicethread
  • A Process Journal
This was our plan, and below is our design. Our Plan was successful, as we completed all of the things we had originally planned to do, and luckily we managed it all in good time.


Our Design was all the things mentioned above, and fortunately we completed all that was planned for the final presentation, and here are our final designs, and some steps we took to reach those goals.

  • Brochure: Our brochure is an A4 page split into 3 parts, otherwise a very simple brochure.
A part in the brochure
The brochure again gives statistical info., information about the diseases (prevention, famous diseases, etc.), and of course pictures.

THE FINAL BROCHURE

iWeb:
The iWeb contains same topics as the brochure, but it is more detailed, and more precise, meaning we have put in a lot of information tha is not included in the brochure, and plus we have videos, a picture gallery and more.

*Note: I could not take screen shots of the iWeb, so if it is okay, I can only put up information, but not the screen shots pictures of the iWeb.


Of course, the iWeb also contains some new specials such as some special effects and also be preapred to see lots of cool widgets for attractions!

The Animoto, Voicethread, and Process Journal are all included in the iWeb, but there are also links to them on the iWeb and we will put up the links for you to see as well. That's all for the Plan & Design, and Thank You for reading!

Weekly/Process Journal

Today, I started writing the Process Journal, and recording what I do every day or every week.


This week I was able to cpmplete maybe half of the iWeb, so that was a pretty good start, I suppose. Jassim has published the Animoto, and I think is working on the Voicethread, although I'm not sure because I didn't talk with him, but I hope he got some work done. 
Today was a good day, meaning I got a good amount of work done. I started the iWeb today, and my partner and I finished the Animoto video today. The iWeb seems really easy to do, and I think by next week I'll be able to finish the iWeb, so it shoud fairly easy.  Other than that I'm doing okay, I was able to finish half of the title page, and my partner said that he wanted to finish the other half, and make it look "good", so that's was al we did today. 

Today, I was a little off track, I started off by searching for some songs, but I got distracted, and before I knew it, the lesson was almost over, and I had only managed to complete putting up a few pictures on the iWeb, when who knows, I could've finshed atleast 2 pages. Jassim is almost done with the Voicethread, so that's good. And the other good thing is that I also finished the Brochure put not on the Mac PAGES, because I didn't have it installed on my iMac, so instead I finished it on Microsoft Publisher. That helped alot, and now I can put my mind straight on working on the iWeb. 

Its, already Sunday now, but theiWeb has not been completed, I've got 2 pages more to complete, and that's the only problem Jassim has completed the Voicethread, except for the act that he still has to finish the voice recordings, and hopefully he'll be finished by tomorrow. I've still got the Information page, and the About Us page to complete, and I was also thinking of making a small info. slideshow on the Keynote Program, and make a page for that. Other than that, everything else has been completed, and have finished the Brohure, Jassim's finished the Animoto, and almost has completed the Voicethread, and I'm still wondering if I should do the Keynote, but its probably too late, so coming back the iWeb's the only main thing I have to do.

It's Monday today, and I have finished doing the About Us page, but I have not yet finished doing the Information Page, so that's still something I've got to work on. Today was a bit slow, a simple one page took me like the while lesson, and I haven't asked Jassim yet, but I think he's finished with the Voicethread, hopefully. There isn't anything else to report today, so that should be it. 

It's Thursday now, our last day, but I ended up not finishing my iWeb, and that's a major problem, so I'm thinking, if I can do a bit of it over the weekend, and then I'll have a 10 minute preperation on Sunday, so I can add that information on, on Sunday. I haven't talked with Jassim yet, so I'm not sure at what stage the Voicethread's at, and hopefully its finished, and hopefully, I'll get that 10 minute chance, to work up that iWeb on next Sunday. I've completed the basic 6 pages,and all I need to add, is a little more detail, an I'm finished, so again, hopefully, I'll have that time on Sunday.
