For this weeks interactive project presentations, I thought they were all very good. I think the creativity and range of these websites really showed this week.
I did pick up some things I really liked and thought I could incorporate into my own project website. For example, a couple of the websites this week were animated, and I realized how much I liked the concept of animation. I think it would be super cute and creative to add some animation of each of my teammates ice skating as cartoons. I also really liked the concept of a website “map” that the viewer can click to guide them through the website as opposed to a more basic and common menu bar on the side or top of a website.
These week, in my team, we went on our first ice skating adventure. And we definitely had some challenges along the way. We decided to go after class on Tuesday, that was perfect, it worked in all our schedules, but, when we got there, we only had about an hour and fifteen to twenty minutes of public skating time, so we needed to get as much as we could done.
We spent a goof majority of the time trying to get the technology to work. We had so much trouble with the Ozmo, and the iphone mic, as well as we did not have the proper SD card size for the gopro. In the end, we decided to spend most of the time just getting media on the DSLR camera.
It was definitely not a waste of the trip though, we all got to practice our ice skating skills, and we planned exactly how the next time we go ice skating would be. We also went to the lab after skating and figured out how to work all the technology so that we are more prepared next time.
