I am currently creating the initial prototype for my multimedia product. I have created the initial structure of the product; I designed the opening sequence that will run when the product is opened and I have also created five seperate pages (who we are, web design, online games, SEO and contact us) which are all linked together. I have also begun to create a video that will consist of animated text and images that will feature on the 'who we are' product section aswell as an example games that will feature on the 'online games' section.
Resources
- YouTube for video tutorials on how to create an interactive game
- Adobe Flash to create product components, interactivity and to weave the product together
- Fireworks to create graphics for the 'who we are' video
- Microsoft Word to collect print screens of how I am creating the project and my progress to show to my client
I phoned my client yesterday (Monday 19th November) for an informal meeting. I just wanted to update John on how I was progressing through the product and to give him a brief overview of whereabouts I am. He was impressed that I am ahead of schedule and looks forward to seeing the inital prototype in our next meeting.
Concerns
John briefly mentioned a slight concern regarding the speed that I am creating the product at as he would like to ensure the quality is still of a very high level. I ensured John that the quality is remaining consistently high and reminded him that this is only the first prototype and that I have allowed extensive time for second and third prototypes to improve the product as much as possible.
Action Points
- I need to continue to progress through the product at a steady rate.
- I need to make sure that the quality of my work is high although I will be able to improve the product when I create further prototypes and then ultimately the final product.
- Keep a consistent level of communication between myself and the client as the feedback is very useful.
