INTERACTIVE DESIGN FOR WEB TECHNOLOGY

WEBPAGE PROCESS

For this week I will focus on designing my webpage and edited some picture that I want to use in the website. I will use website templates from Wix.com and I choose vintage types of website templates.

I face big problem where I cannot open the wix in my pc, so I need to do it using the Mac Lab but I do my best to finish the website.

This the picture that I edited and plans to put it in my websites.

This is my website link http://alexislyndy.wix.com/mantin-interactin

INTERACTIVE DESIGN FOR WEB TECHNOLOGY

WEB PAGE PROCESS


TASK 3

In this task we will learn how to create webpage and designing it how we want and it resembles the topic that we take. I want to design a website that telling a story through texture so my website will full of the pictures that I takes from Mantin.

My concept for my website is vintage. Why I choose vintage? It is because the texture that I took from Mantin is come from the building in Mantin town and about 90 percents building in Mantin is old building that built in year 1919, 1920, 1930, and etc. Also because I want to show the interaction between the human and building using the textures that comes from the times that has past in Mantin.

In my webpage, I will put the picture that I take and types some of the information about history of Mantin and also the texture that I take from the Mantin.

So, I need to find a good template that I can use to design my website and also find references of the vintage websites and finding what type of color of vintage and also the vintage typeface that I can choose in my website later.

Below is some of the references I look for my websites:

The Topic for Individual Design that I choose after the trip to Mantin.

Topic: Architectures

Focus: Historical Building in Mantin

For this project, I’m going to create an interactive story telling about the history of the historical building in Mantin. I choose this topic because Mantin has many building that been for hundreds years but the non-preservation of this buildings going to make the buildings lacking it history and identity. For example, Hakka Village. When we going there last semester to conduct an installation arts for Hakka village so that everyone has the feeling of the village without going there. The village environment look abandoned and the only people lives there is the older people only and they still use old electricity system.

System

System is a set of principles or procedures according something is done. System also a set of interacting or independent components forming an integrated whole.

In Individual Design Projects, the system is more consists to what I going to do for my projects. For example, I can look from the method that I going to do to solve my problem because it important as a designer to collect on any evidence you could find while you doing and also from the procedures that I going to use in my projects. This finding need to be note down and recorded as an evidence and also my references.

In this projects, I need to conduct a systemically what I need to conduct between the modules that will interacts with this individual projects. For example, principle of marketing is for me to learn a strategy to market my project. I also will learn about my target audiences, how I going to attract the customer through a campaign. Then, in interactive design for web technology, I learn to create my own website to introduce my projects to the target audiences. In color and design in two and three dimension, I will learn how I going to create an attractive design and using color to attracts audiences towards my project. In interactive design for games and web applications, I get to create some interactive activity and this going to help me interacts with my audiences and lastly is 3d character and environment design for animation, is where I going to create my character and the environment that specially for my projects.

REFLECTIONS

In doing this systemically procedures, it will help organize what we going to do for our projects. It also help you what you going to decided so that yours modules can be cooperated together.

Journey to Mantin Town

For this task, we need to one place to conduct research about the projects we want to do. So in the assignment brief the projects is going to promoting Mantin to our target audiences. We were required to collect the data any information of Mantin that we need for our projects.

We need to take pictures of what we going to found in the Mantin as our evidence and also as references of our projects. Before us going to Mantin, we also need to list what topic that we will pick to help us in conduct the research of the data later.

Topics:

INDIVIDUAL DESIGN PROJECTS

Task 1

Introduction

In this first blog post, it is about my understanding about what we going to learn in this new semester. We were introduce into a new way of learning where we have one driver module that all of the modules that we take in doing one project. So this module is our conductor to coordinates the other module in making a project that be known as “Promote Mantin”.

In Individual Design Project, this module will introduces me into procedure of developing and complete a detailed research project in graphic design. First when our tutor explain about it I was a bit confused and try to understanding about this module. In this task we will learn one the key skill of a designer that is to be able identify a design problem, analyse the problem and provide the problem solving or alternate solution on the problem.

So, when I read the assignment brief, I understand that this projects will be splits into four phases, which all of it is corresponding or interacts with each other. The first phase is I will need to conduct research and identify the issue that can form in the basis of detailed research project. For example, I need to conduct a research about Mantin Town and identify the issue in it before I conduct the project that I plan. In doing this I would know what I going to do a solution for it.

Second phase is all about how I going to develop this problem into an argument that I can identify the aims and objectives of the project to developed the contemporary design of the projects that I done.

Then, we look into the third phase where you need to coordinate your coherent response that will work with the other module outputs in creating a cohesive complete design solution.

Finally, the important is I need to identify and discuss the responsibility of the designer to implement the creative commons that known as copyright and copyleft solutions in my projects.

REFLECTION

This module is really going to help me in solving the problem of the projects that we going to do, even though it a little bit confusing and I need a second and third explaining to begin understanding it and it will be great that we can learn the key skill to be a great designer.
