Today in class we went over what a multimedia computer is and what its functions are. We looked at what functions are required in a computer for it to be considered a good multimedia computer. today we expect our multimedia computers to have the internet, video conferencing, to be able to edit videoss and burn dvds and cds. We also expect our multimedia computers to be able to watch movies, play games and so on.
We also completed two tasks during class. Our first one was we were given €5000 euro and we had to spend it as if we were a multimedia designer who just secured office space and we had no equipment. We had to give reasons why we choose each bit of equipment and why we thought it would benefit a multimedia designer.
Our second task was to help design a futuristic apartment that incorporates and utilises multimedia in every way possible.

Design Brief
Today in class everybody presented their video they have been working on. The video is a song that matches the letters in your name which you have to draw up from scratch using paint and windows live movie maker.
We also started to design a new logo from a brief we were given. I started off by brainstorming ideas on paper which the base of my idea came from. I also searched websites like google images and www.fuelyourcreativity/so-kick-ass-logos-for-inspiration/ , http://www.patricialindberg.com/ , http://www.crabshackmarina.com/ . I then proceeded to draw up some draft sketches. I will add my final logo design to this post at a later date.

HCI evaluation assignment and Design Brief
Today I handed in my HCI evaluation assignment that we were giving before christmas. I really enjoyed this assignment as it gave me a chance to use a Kodak picture kiosk. We also joined up in groups to brainstorm and create our own ideas for a design brief of our choice. We were also giving time to touch up on our paint skills because this will benefit us in our next assignment.
