Well today i woke up late......... when i reached school in the afternoon, Dee and Sab were already working (duh.....) . Dee was alsomost finished with the fountains and Sab was working on the interface of(dunno which section). Well i did send a copy of the updated design of the newspaper section to Sab thru hotmail, but it seems that hotmail will reduce the size and quality of the image??? strange...... nvr gonna use hotmail for sending images again...... as for my main page coding, veri little progress as although my code works in a swf file, exporting to IE see,s to be screwed..... must be the coordinate code is not accurate for the instance where the swf file is in browser??? Looks like i have to rescript ZZZzzzzZZZ.

23 AUG

our grp decided to meet at joanne's house to share a cab, causing to be late >_<.(where is my cab money....) Our prototype presentation went smoothly without much comments .......(wonder why). We basically worked on our project after the presentation. Mr Choong managed to spot a design flaw in my newspaper section.... oh well looks like i will be doing it over again. The fountain would also be edited. We are planning to make three separate fountains for the three different bloggers. Dee would be handling that....... while the rest of us continue to code (dying)

(daniel was here)

hello. it's me! it's me!

i am here to blog about what went on on Tuesday, 22 Aug. we came school as usual. for the prototype presentation the next day, we decided to present our main page and the "Create Blog" function in our "Benefits of Blogging" section. we were almost there for the style we intended to do for the main page, but not quite. so we worked on the images of the main page and by afternoon it was ready to be coded. managed to do simple panning instead of the intended panoramic panning for the main page. heh. for the "Famous Bloggers" section, we decided to change the three statues as one to three individual fountains with the statues in them. haha. geddit? nevermind. hahaha.

the highlight of the day must've been when Joanne was done with the "Create Blog" section. she was happy to show it off and everybody was happy to "create a blog". haha.

and so, we were prepared for the presentation with all these:


THE MAIN PAGE.

and


THE SUB PAGE (Create Blog; Benefits of Blogging)
the 6 colourful speech bubbles will represent the 6 benefits of blogging.

and


bubble #6 will lead to the Create Blog page

which is





yeah. we had fun testing it out; creating the entry and all.

okay that's all.

ciao.

hihihi.

yes, very tiring week indeed. its almost killing all of us.
but guess what i think we've got potions for resurrection prepared. ha.

ok, im gonna blog about MONDAY, 21 AUGUST 2006.

we basically went to school as usual with stuffs that we have done over the weekends. like images. our blog park was refined as it was 'not there yet'. it's got a sun thats bright and yummy in the background. images for newspaper was ready with three sections of news basically about celebrity blogging, reasons for why everybody should blog and the blogging fever. supervisor says he wanna see more. we'll work on that i promise.
and then we had images done for one section which was the benefits of a blog section. below are just some of the background skins that will be the choices for the user before they create a blog of their own.

(due to some problem with the WWW. I CANT SEEM TO UPLOAD ANY IMAGES AT ALL AND EVERYTHING IS IN HTML MODE. gosh. this is so killing me badly with torture. ;c)

**teh teh. brb. il upload now.**





ok. i cant get it uploaded i'll upload again soon.

anyway. basically our day on monday was like that. we started a bit of coding too. but definitely more refinements to do. yea. more images to go !

*calcutta. taxi taxi taxi* yea.

ciao nyeh.

Fri 18 Aug

Well today we showed Mr Choong our storybaord remake and mocked uped versions of our application. We made slight adjustments to how we planned to do the "benefits of blogging" section. We also spent time to discuss how to improve the main page design as the feedback was that the initial design was underdeveloped. We plan to use the weekend to complete most if not all of the graphical elements for our application so that coding, packaging/promotional items can start by next week. Looks like it'll be a busy two days ahead.

.Haha. It was my turn to blog yesterday, (16 August), but as you all know, we didn't sleep at all on 15 August, I was super tired, so didn't have the engery to enter the blog.

ya, had our presentation yesterday. Dee wasn't there as she was really really very very sick. We took cab from dee's house to school. haha, expensive (because it was peak hours and we dial a cab) but lucky it was spilt among us.

we were the 1st group to present~! it wasn't scary to me as i wasn't really feeling that well then. but we manage to pull thru with ms coen saying that she didn't really feel the fever. it broke our little hearts to hear that. :( ms wenlei was suggesting that we could consider focusing more on other stuffs too as now, we were focusing more on how it was to create a blog.

went back to our seats and watch other groups present. daniel was the most tired among the 3 of us as he didn't sleep a wink last night (sab n i manage to sleep for about 2 hours). we had a hard time trying to keep awake. :p (p.s. sorry other groups)

the whole presentation thingy ended at around 12+ and we were to meet our lecturer (
supervisor), mr stephan. haha, he said that we were ALOT BETTER THAN YESTERDAY. our hard work did paid off~!

of course, there were things that we need to change. we can't only focus on the easy to create thing. we were told to sort of add things that were mentioned in our flowchart. also told to amend our information flowchart to a better one.

daniel went to blk m while we went to "ta bao" our lunch. dee joined us b4 we finished our lunch as she was feeling better. we amended our information flowchart and also, brainstormed on how to make the various info on the information flowchart fit into the application.

we left the school at 5.00+pm.
