Journal Reflections (Kai Lun)

1. How is your understanding of the topic after doing the project? Understanding about interactive multimedia?

My understanding of this topic after doing the project is that if I never do well planning in pre authoring stage, it will be a disaster for the entire project. I will have to do a well planning in pre authoring before proceed to the next stage. Besides, I also learn that the 2/3 rule in design which is fairly important in this project.

2. What were the problems faced since Proposal 2? How did you/your team solve your group problems?

We faced couple of problems in our project such as buttons, did not know how to navigate the button to link to another page, did not know how to create scroll bar, and lastly we had problem with the music player. We able to find solutions pretty fast due to we always work in team. Most of our solutions are found from Youtube videos. Those free tutorials for Adobe Flash which we find it pretty useful. Besides, we also consulted Ms Joyce, Ms Heidi and Ms Sally to solve the music player and the scroll bar.

3. What would you do differently next time?

I will do all of my projects in a proper planning and go stage by stage which is pre authoring to collect and research on the topic, then next authoring to create and plan navigation, then lastly post authoring to compile and deliver the topic.

4. How is your motivation level?

I am motivated by all of my group members’ spirit in this project.

5. How was working with your group/group leader?

I am happy to work with all of them. We all do have some conflicts in between the brainstorming sections, but the group leader, he has been doing good job by confronting and solving the conflicts by doing voting style to conclude and accept the idea.

6. How was it working on the project?

When there are ideas conflicts, then this mean that our group has a lot of ideas. We are able to pick the best ideas among all the good ideas. We have the rights to vote and comment on the idea. This way we can enhance and innovate the good ideas to become best ideas together.

7. Update on what you have been writing previously.

I have wrote few researches on my topic which is the layouts, designs of my page and my page contents.

8. How were your teammates?

They are very cooperative, friendly and full of inspirations.

9. Personal evaluation of your own effort and that of your team.

I have put all of my efforts into this project while my group members too as we have been doing this project together all the time.
