Review and assessment week.

This week was review and assessment week in multimedia. We had to complete an assignment and hand it in before 1pm today which is 24/11/2011. The assignment was to produce your very own storyboard for a video advertisement for a brand new washing powder.

Today in class we analysed Bad designs. We looked up http://www.baddesigns.com/index.html
It is a website that shows and points out Bad Designs in everyday life for example anything from a tin of food to a car parking permit machine. It gives an explanation from people who experienced these bad designs first hand and they give their own ideas on what the solutions should be. In some cases the people themselves were at fault for not reading simple instructions properly. In other cases it came down to very bad or lack of design solutions from the manufacturers.

Music Video

Today we made our own music video in Windows Live Video Maker. I really enjoyed this task as it was my first time using the programme. I chose the song Golden Brown by the Stranglers. I have uploaded the video with this post.

Multimedia : Project Development E20134 and Design A20209 and Raven View Guesthouse Promotion

Today in class we evaluated numerous websites. We had to describe each website, identify the target audience of the website and list good points and bad points on the design features of the website.
We also did a group task where we had to design a newspaper ad for Raven View Guesthouse.
