Product Design Prototype Update

The software that I will using is Flash Actionscript 2.0, I have decided to use this as it

meets the criteria set which is to create a multimedia project. Flash will allow me to do this

as the end product will be a stand alone project with videos, buttons (original and existing)and images; by using this application I will be able to successfully produce the initial

design in a digital format. The dimensions that I will be using are 1024x786 pixels; I

believe this definition is of a high enough quality to please the demands of the client. I also

feel that this standard definition is good as most people use this making it easily

accessible to a large audience.



This is the initial design for the intro page of my product, it was hand-drawn and scanned onto the

computer. All stakeholders were present when this design was made and it was agreed upon by all

stakeholders that the design for the Intro page once implemented into flash will be based around this

design. All main parts of the page are annotated in the image above.

Initial Design of Intro Page



After emailing one of the stakeholders, Pawel, the design he had some feedback for me to make changes

around. As you can see above his main concern was the images that will be used above the logo

representing all four members of the band. He suggests that the images should be monochrome as the

rest of the page is in black and white, I will consider this when making updates to my design, which I will do

once I receive feedback from various stakeholders on the initial design of the product.

Email correspondence for Intro page



These four symbols will be made into buttons which navigate you to the other pages of the system, to make this navigation easier

each button will be edited to have a mouse over feature with the name of the corresponding pages. It will be made clear that these

are buttons as the mouse cursor will change and the picture may be edited slightly when the mouse hovers over the button.

These images of the band have been from the initial design so that they are monochrome to suit the black

background and white text theme which will be continued throughout the product. The Images of the band

members correspond to the symbols below; each of the members picked out these symbols in once of their

albums, these signs would be easily recognisable to fans of the band.The black background

is going to be kept

after initial praise from

the first design of the

product , the theme is

going to be continued

as it matches the

legendary white logo

on a black background.



Initial Design of Tour Dates Page

This was the initial design for the tour dates page, I created it after a meeting where all stakeholders

were given the chance to share their opinions what the design should be. This was a combination of

ideas from the stakeholders and my interpretation of what we agreed upon at the meeting. All

stakeholders were presented with these designs at a formal meeting and their feedback was taken

into suggestion when an updated design was created.



Email correspondence for Tour Dates Page

This is an email that I received from the client about the design of the Tour Dates page once it was implemented onto a

computer, in the email he suggests some changes to the design. These include making more efficient use of the space

for one page, to do this I could make the title larger or centre it and also perhaps include more booking information on

the page so I make best use of the space available.

Booking Information

The feedback from the client and senior

manager was generally positive for this

page so not much has been changed since

the initial design. The image in the top right

corner has been changed slightly to make

the picture more natural looking to the

surrounding theme.

The Title of this page hasbeen changed slightly to

accommodate a new font;

the font that I tried to use

was not available to be

freely used due to copyright

infringements so I decided

to use a text that is similarcalled ‘Kashmir.’

These buttons

along the sidehave been

kept as they

make

navigating

through the

system much

easier.The booking information will be added

and more detailed than simply a title, the

information will include the variousmethods of purchasing tickets.



Initial Design for History Page

This is the first design that was produced for the history page, it was presented to the stakeholders, as

this was only a prototype the design will be changed as many times as is needed until all stakeholders

are happy with the design. This image has annotations and is not very detailed as the main component

of this page is the biographical text that will feature on the page as this is the whole reason for making

the page. This design was created in cooperation with all other stakeholders and reflects the general

opinion of what the page should look like at the time.



Email correspondence for History Page

The design for the history page was sent to all stakeholders and as you can see the opinion of

the client is that overall is good but there should perhaps be a point raised at the next meeting

on whether or not the page should have a video of the history of the band instead of the initially

proposed text. This email has given me something that could perhaps be edited in the project

and something that I will certainly look into; however I will also make some changes to the page

that I feel are necessary and as the project manager it is my responsibility to make sure that the

product is of a high a quality that it can possibly be, that may mean sometimes overrulingdecisions by other stakeholders although that will rarely occur as I feel that in order to create

the best possible product it must be a mixture of ideas from all stakeholders.



HistoryRiding the Stairway to

Heaven…

Here will be a brief history of the band and

their rise to glory. Following the appraisal

from the client and senior manager I have

decided that this should stay but could be

altered to make sure that only the most

interesting times in the bands history will

be explained. The style of writing will also

be changed to ensure that the end userswill be remain interested throughout the

use of the product.

Following the

appraisal I have also

decided that the pagemust have an extra

feature such as an

image here to

prevent the page

from looking boring

and plain. This

change was made as

a result from

suggestions from the

senior manager



Initial design for Video Page

The initial design for the video page of the product is shown above, this shows 6 videos and was

met by generally positive feedback from the stakeholders, this page is due to hold 6 videos but

there are doubts about whether the size of each page will allow this so I may have to revisit this

issue once implementation starts.



Email correspondence for Video Page

This is the response that I received from the client, Karolis Vizgirdas, his main concern is that the

lengthy nature of the title will be too long for the page, this issue will once again be revisited once

implementation initiates. His opinion will be taken seriously and I will make changes to the design

in accordance with his views. If a change in tittle is necessary the matter will be discussed at afuture meeting as the heading of a page is quite a significant change in the design of a product.

Here will be the

video for ‘Stairway

‘Good times, Bad

Times’

‘Whole Lotta Love’ ‘CommunicationBreakdown’

‘Ramble On’ ‘Immigrant Song’

This page has changed but only slightly, as again the feedback from the client was mostly

positive. One thing that has changed is the size of the title, due to the recurring image in

the top right hand corner the font size has had to be reduced in order to fit the entire title in.

Due to the lengthy nature of the title, there could be a change of the title which will be

decided upon in the next meeting following the release of this updated design.

The theme that runs throughout the pages may be a problem here as most of the videos

are likely to be in monochrome so their could be an issue in the contrast of colours and the

ability to actually see the video could be impaired.



Initial design for Images Page

This is the initial design for the images page; as previously discussed there will

be a collage of images of the band throughout their history, these images will

have to be discussed as there are thousands of images which we could use but

it is crucial that we choose the right ones as this will make the page more

attractive and more popular with end users.



Email correspondence for Images Page

Here is an email that I received from the client with respect to the images page, he explains that he feels

that in order to ensure that this product is as good as it can be I must collect an archive of images of the

band which are both iconic and well suited to the product. I have my own ideas about what images to put

in and these will be put forward in the next design to be presented to all stakeholders. The client also

states that he is happy with the development of the rest of the page so not much will have to be changed

in order to enhance the quality of this page as he is happy with it. I will make changes to the design that I

feel necessary and then present them to the stakeholders at the or through email.

In this space there will be a collage of images from the

bands previous performances as well as images which

show the human side of the band; these could include

general pictures of the band members while off the stage.

This page was the most criticised during the appraisal last

meeting, the senior manager raised concerns about the

page being too dull and monotonous, to combat this

there could be various changes made. Firstly, the collage

of pictures would have to be large and each picture must

be clearly visible, secondly this page could include some

gif.images as well as j.peg images. This would make the

page more interesting as the gif pictures would be more

lively and could attract the attention of the users as they

may be seen as more interactive.

Overall, the initial design was met with a positive response meaning that no drastic

changes have to be made to the design. However, some changes have been made

in order to further satisfy the demands of the client and the views of the senior

manager. There will be additional changes to the design as the project develops

and it materialises: this is not the final design for the product.
