Formative Presentation

Here are the slides used for the Formative Presentation.

Presentation Results

Both of the concepts but forward were selected to be produced but an executive creative decision was taken and the concept being built is ’shoutbox’.

There is a problem with the concepts selected for the fete in that they have all been developed by the ‘regular’ people that attend lectures and seminars. This means that it will essentially be an individual project as the ‘creative directors’ will not be able to rely on many others turning up, knowing what they’re doing or even caring.

Hopefully it will go well never the less.

Concept Presentation

Here are the slides for the concepts chosen to put forward in tomorrow’s presentation. There are a few videos that can be shown along side these and links can be found at the bottom. Further research links will be added as research is conducted.

Presentation Preparation Finished

I have just finished creating the slides for the summative assessment. Adapting from the formative slides, a few are the same but most have been edited or completely changed. A few new sections have been added in, the most funny of which is the ‘Scenarios’ slide. Detailing a series of events about the txt alert part of our concept works. Taken in 5 minutes with a camera phone and a further 5 minutes Photoshop time, they’re not the best work I’ve done but I think the rough edges adds to the charm of the story.

Flo also wants us to create a sentence to describe our project so I might add that in to one of the first slides. The very first tag line I came up with seems to work ok in this context so here it is again.

“Real-Time Route Planner: Saving The World, One Stop At A Time”

Here is the presentation. I have to say thank you to Fraser Ferguson for stepping in last minute and being an actor for us.

Formative Presentation

I was expecting the presentation to be inclusive of other members of the class, but no it was just each group or individual with Flo and Dave. Valid feedback was received and the main thing I got out of it was that our idea (Myself and Robert Andre) is very VERY large in scope and we need to refine down each aspect we want to present. Flo made a good point that we should present as if we were pitching to TFL and not only to someone with technical understanding but also to someone who could potentially buy the idea of us.

With this information we have decided on 4 things to prepare for our final presentation (even though they are slightly off brief).

1. Plan a route through multiple points (done but with manual if statements).
2. Create a flash animation of what the interface will look like and what information it displays.
3. Have a small demo video showing real-time implementation of an SMS text based system.
4. Have an image map that allows the user to select the route directly (might have to be a flash file rather than php as I can’t get the selection to input the data into a ‘$_GET’ field.

Here’s the presentation we used for the formative anyway.

Cometh The Hour, Cometh The Bean

I’m sitting in Green ITC at the moment while Yuki is photoshopping her last image to go into the presentation and Omari is redoing the sections that he left at home. I have expanded on the PowerPoint presentation and have now done the layout for the wall print. I’m not sure how much it is going to cost but I don’t really care - after today it is all over!
Having said that, the last 2 days have actually been rather enjoyable. I seem to work best when under pressure. yesterday I created a PowerPoint presentation and theme, created the layout for the wall print and also created a garden bean as well as a seat/bike rack. Images below.

I might post once more after the presentation to reflect on how it went. We are scheduled for 1.50pm

Salutations.
