please take a look at it. the address is

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..
