after doing lots of research on different squash logos out there... i started to draw up my own design.
its working out pretty well!
other than that haven't done much.
actually - let me take that back!
we have to submit a 3000 word essay at some stage in the next semester. i have been brainstorming. researching mobile media.
next week will be my last week at one small seed. has been great. went by really quickly. then next monday lectures start again.

holiday
with the holiday in full swing and all i decided it was time to start thinking seriously about the squash site. iv been researching different squash sites from around the world. just to have an idea on the kind of info that can be incorporated into our site. seeing as we are aiming to develop it for mobile phones it might be a bit different. however the idea is pretty much the same.
layout - have some ideas. colours, logo, style. will wait till back at uni to brainstorm with the group. as of now, i am really enjoying my internship at one small seed.

a fantastic magazine based here in cape town. its a wonderful experience.
srp - i want to do a whole lot of research in terms of mobile usability.
being accessible & interesting for our target audience is key.
will keep posting.
on and on i go

srp latest
latest news on the SRP group!
mo, karen and i will join together to bring our strengths in CSS, XHTML, Flash & Design together.
we will be doing our SRP on my initial idea of the squash site which is very exciting!
what will be great about doing a UCT based sports site is that all our resources are on campus, making research elements much easier.
karen and i are both part of the squash club, we play league and social squash so we have a good idea of all the happenings in the squash club. mo is a great asset to this SRP - he know so much about mobile phone usability and is extremely knowledgable about other elements of the technological aspect of a site such as my proposed idea.
ta ta for now

klipfontein OUT - srp IN
our klipfontein project is finished. with of course a couple of glitches along the way. last week was ridiculously crazy i cannot begin to explain all of it to you!
now that klipfontein is finished. we have to start focusing on the SRP's which we will start next semester.
on monday we had to each pitch our ideas. i have stuck to my squash idea. i met with marion (my course convenor) about my project and she suggested i look into mobile usability. on the basis of my users (being the sqaush players) not always having access to a computer. using their cell phones to access my site. so essentially, i would be designing 2 layouts. one for a normal desktop internet browser and the other for a mobile internet browser.
here are a couple of images from my presentation:
here is our main interface from our klipfontein project. our target audience is the tween age group. from 14 to 17 years.
we wanted to create a scrapbook-like effect.
and then the user would be able to click on different links taking them to areas of Klipfontein road and other elements they can explore.
so thats just a small update.
next week is the last week of lectures and then its exam time!
i will be sure to post an update before then..

progress!
wow. it has been a crazy past few days.
karen and i have been going non-stop. i guess because things are slowly falling into place, we can move on to new aspects of our projects and get them done.
we are featuring a little game/quiz in our project, which we are working on. having difficulty with it because we want our viewers to be challenged so we don't want the questions to be too easy, and will therefore probably bore them! and we don't want that happening.
a mistake karen and i made in our animation project last year was our file was REALLY big and took ages to play so we are being really careful with the things we are importing. making sure they are small files.
i wanted to post some pictures of when we went to klipfontein road and went very camera happy. i don't want to give away too much so im just going to post three photos.
im really enjoying working with flash. its really interesting and keeps me on my toes thats for sure! makes a difference having flash on my computer. really does. thank you my far!
well, just wanted to keep you updated. things are getting done. everything is going well.

update!
so.. just a little update on the Klipfontein Project. Karen and I are cracking on. we have a couple of weeks to hand it in .
research is a big aspect of our project. simply because we are creating a documentary about Klipfontein Road, so we want all our information to be accurate and also because one of our main aims is to educate our young target audience.
in terms of how we will be producing our project, we will be using a program called Macromedia Flash. Using Flash will let us create our project in a very cool way.
last week we went to klip road and took photos. it was really cool because after reading so much about the history and then actually being on the road and taking everything in was quite a nice experience!
