Website Designs and Annonatation

Create

Reflection 2#

This lesson was mostly about a pre-check of our blog just before the big check the one that will be counted the most out of all. 

Notice

Soon the Create criteria will be posted I hope my invention is admired with a fair dudgement

Reflection and Evalution

After this Plan I really saw how much I did through out this project. Starting from the Investigation finishing on the Create although I'm still not done with the create but soon will. I also saw that in the planning it seemed like a few steps however on the posts the real amount of work that had to be done really is shown. The comparison I think is the specific point I like most out of the whole planning purpose. I'm also looking forward for my viewers to see that and to let them have a summarized of what I have done. For this criteria I put a lot effort into it a looked over my requirement made sure to mention them to not leave anything behind and most all make it perfect. I hope this criteria will be liked.

Plan here I come!!!

Reflection and Evaluation

After finishing my design I can finally see the base of my project and really see that it will really work out well I hope to pierce through the next stages of this project which will be the planning and then get too the create which we all have been waiting for.
Another thing I would like say is that I think after my last criteria I improved on the improvements that I got from my peers as also my own reflection. I hope this will be graded on a a good scale since I  have worked tremendously hard on it.

Reflection of Design 1#

This lesson we had analyzed and reflected on an assigned peers work. We supposed to give a detailed review of the pros and cons of the investigation task.

Design Task

3 Designs of Logos:

Design of Logo 1#:               Gold Class Sports Wear

Pros:

• The impression of a great golden bull gives the power to work harder
• The texture used on the picture makes it stand out 
• Gold class is combined with the golden bull equally
• Bulls can be associated with many sports, but generally giving inspiration to stay strong

Cons:

• The gold class title and the picture could be mixed together a more fluid way
• The "gold class sports wear" is a bit long a shot cut like GCSW could be used instead
• The copy of the picture could be a bit more better which would make the texture better quality

Design of Logo 2#:              Tiger Sports 

Pros:

• Tiger Sport is a quick and catchy name
• The background and the tigers mingle perfectly
• The logo is not to complex
• The name is not to complex

Cons:

• More writing could have been included
• A motto or a message could have been added
• The tigers could be the same color so the picture do not fall out of meaning

Design of Logo 3#:            Sharp Shark

Pros:

• Shark Sharp is a very sleek and to the point title
• Great for a attacker in football match
• The picture fits the sign a professional looking way
• The sharks color scheme is simple not complicated

Cons:

• The text could fit to the size of the shark a bit more
• A small text containing, an exclusive product
• The Box could be outlined with a bigger marker
• The quality could have been better

3 Designs of Adverts:

Design of Advert 1#:

Pros:

• Big and visible title with date of publishing
• Tags to different links of website with similar topics
• The picture is placed in a good place to make it visible

Cons:

• The ads take up a lot of space that can be used for more information
• The index can be a bit longer if put in a vertical line
• The picture could be a bit bigger for a quick glimpse look

Design of Advert 2#:

Pros

• The index has enough space to fill in a large amount of the websites content
• The information space can fit in a lot information which is good for the reader
• Instead of 1 image there is tags to a bunch of different images

Cons:

• There is no pictures for a quick glimpse
• There is no publishing date of the post
• The the information has no photo support

Design of Advert 3#:

Pros:

• The information mingles with the photos
• The tags are clearly visible 
• The title is quick and catchy

Cons:

• The information can have a specific table set up so it does not mix up with photo or other sectors
• The tags should have less space, because if there is too many the people wont know what to choose
• The picture should be in the same place as the other so the layout look professional and well desinged

Reflection

This lesson I have uploaded my design specification. So every detail on this criteria is answered and planned out so I am ready get into it now!!!
However if any questions still occur, please comment and I am sure to answer them

Design Specification

Now the Design Criteria will require 3 models of my shoe, 1 logo and 1 advertisement source using the knowledge gathered from my investigation task. Overall the knowledge collected from the investigation will be essential for proceeding further because i have explored and learnt new techniques that can make my project even better

Steps that I will be following during this task:

• Create 3 sample logos, that I will create through collecting ideas form different logo pages, these pages will be inspiration as also help with creating the best 3. Out of these 3 I will choose 1 main one that will be the official logo.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1779000-redesigned-logos-for-every-nfl-team

• Create 3 sample advertisements, that I will create on Microsoft Publisher, with the help of some online ideas, from such websites. However again these are just inspiration.

• Create 3 designs of my shoe. With the help of simple sketching and then transferring it onto the computer. I will be using wide knowledge learned through out the Investigation and a bit on the Design

Along the way I will be giving some extras like writing up some analyses of the shoes, or maybe of advert or the logo design as also some reflections to reflect on my so far done work.

New Posts Will Be Coming Soon

Reflection and Evaluation on Investigation Task

After finishing my work I saw that if you put effort you get something amazing, however if you don't you get what you get. I think mine was in the middle maybe a bit above. This because I put effort to my max but after learning all the new features during the duration of the project I didn't use them as well as I could if i new them before but that gives me points for improvement for my next project. Like the conversion of a Microsoft file into a jpeg file.

Reflection on Investigation #1

This lesson we had analyzed and reflected on an assigned peers work. We supposed to give a detailed review of the pros and cons of the investigation task.

Investigate Task

Introduction: For this project my product will be looking at different type of sports shoes. The sports that the shoes will apply to will range from, invasion games (e.g. basketball or foot ball) or single person sports (e.g. racing or cross country). I would like to design, or at least get somewhere near the perfection of the shoes that apply to these sports. This is due to the fact, every time they bring out a bran new shoe, it is said  it is perfect however after a while there is a new and again it is said to be the best. However since this factor is in the way, no person will ever be able to design the one and only sports shoe, however we can always try our best and create the perfect shoe that will be the best over some period of time. This is my goal, to achieve it I will question my peers through a specific questionnaire one what sport they most encounter and what they look at in a perfect basketball shoe, this will then be the area i will focus mostly on. However this shoe must also have impact in my life.

My target audience: My target audience will include men and women, from ages 12-14 ( these ages apply to the grade 9)

The Three Sports to choose from, the sport picked will impact on the shoe specification:

• Foot Ball
• Basket Ball
• Cross Country 

The reasons I have looked at these specific sports, is because they are the most common ones encountered in Dubai, as also in my daily life:

• Foot Ball: Foot Ball is a very common sport, each school has there own football team, each person has there own favorite foot ball player, also there own favorite equipment, which mostly include the shoe. In my daily life foot ball is not an essential sport, as I am not a football player, however I still do enjoy it. After this short reflection on whether this shoe is important to me, I think I won't be designing this shoe, however this decision is still to be made.
• Basket Ball: Basket Ball is a tremendously popular sport in our grade, however not only in our grade also in the all wide city. However it is very  popular due the fact it is being the main topic of the Physical Education Unit and so even if you don't play it on a daily basis you still get to play at least 2 times week with your team. This is the reason that most likely I will be picking this for my chosen sport. However this decision is not final.
• Cross Country: Cross country is a decently popular sport, encountered in Dubai, this is mostly due to the numerous amount of places to run, either, around lakes, sidewalks, sand places or sometimes even grassy places, and who would not take the chance. My age group meaning my group, has done and is doing this frequently and this would be a could sport to focus, because the show would have to apply to all different environments. This shoe might be or might not the chosen one.

Choosing My Idea: Through the past sport analysis I have been saying that the decision is not yet final, this is because I have yet to examine the results front he questionnaire that was used to achieve different opinions about the different sports as well as the different specification the person is looking in a professional sport shoe.

My questionnaire started from a general question about sports, and then going into to shoe specifics. After this questionnaire gets answered I will able to start investigating specific shoes on specific features. I interviewed 30 people.

These are the tables and graphs representing my results




My final choice has been made. I will investigate Foot Ball Shoes looking mostly at Accessories/Movements. I have made this choice from the survey answers I got and my own
opinions

3 Evaluations of existing  methods of Advertisement

Brochure

Reflecting on this Advertisement:

• Very nice display layout
• Usage of pictures, text and color frames to compose an eye catching brochure
• Quick and eye catching homepage 
• At some points a bit to much text, however effectively supported by pictures and diagrams
• Over all great but more pictures and limitation of text would make it perfect

Leaflet

Reflecting on this Advertisement:

• Great usage of pictures
• Perfect picture and text displacement to attract the customers
• Good way to mention a bonus to the meal by just letting it flow right in the side of leaflet
• Red writing always telling us something important
• More text would be also good however in this case it is not that needed
• Over all it is a perfect advert for this type of company however in different cases I would suggest using more text

Company Card

Reflecting on this Advertisement:

• Good use of company significant prizes won
• Proof of significant prizes 
• Contact information, such as phone numbers, email addresses missing, which decreases the card value a lot
• Name of bets staff could all be mentioned
• Overall okay but could be way more better, especially by including the contact information
