Week4 part 2

21/07/2013 (night) until 22/07/2013

Due to my team spend too much time on doing research and getting information and refining idea. We end up only two day to create the proposal. As usually we gather and my place after class. I open google document and distribute part for different member to incharge of. And some we did it as group.

For Group - Objective, story plot, concept, hypothesis, problem identified, propose solution

Graphic - Find art style and benchmark, sketches, mock up UI

Content - Find animal information

Logistic - Floor plan, Gantt Chart, Budget and Boat Mock-up

Technical - Platform and coding, Use case and flow chart

First, we focus on the topic that we can all type as a group since we are using google document. Everyone come out idea for our project objective and we discuss how create the flow and content for the proposal. First, we create our project objective, then we move up to concept, hypothesis.

23/07/2013 (after class) - 24/07/2013 (morning)
We based on the research that we found and problem that the nature is facing and find out what our installation can help solve the problem. Then, we propose our solution. It took us about 2-3 hours to complete this section because during this section we come out different idea and me and our group are trying to find the best to put in the proposal. Some of idea are great but is abit too impossible so when this happen the team member and i will voice out for suggestion.

After we finish intro part, i ask all the team leader including me to focus on our job scope. I am the logistic leader so i need to come out with floorplan,budget and boat mock up. Since the gantt chart i had already create before i just need to do some adjustment. After the i come out with a brand new flow plan and measurement for the boat and projection. 

Floorplan

After created the flowplan by Ai, I create the mock up of the boat by using paper card.

Mock up

After that i supposedly need to come out the budget for our installation but the technical haven't confirm on the equipment yet so i start to help technical on creating the flow chart and use chart in Google document . 

Uses Case

I created the symbol for the uses case and me and gerry start discuss how to create since this is the first we create an uses case diagram so i find some reference in google and discuss with Leon and Gerry and refine a few time to make sure everything is correct. Then we move to the flow chart. The flow chart diagram is created by Gerry and i help to double confirm whether everything is the right position and check whether the flow is correct and there are some refinement so we discuss and change the chart. 

Since we are doing something the deal with nature and animal, so we did some our research base of WWF. For that we kind of lost focus on what to focus since there are so many things in the forest so I suggested that we only focus on how human destroy and forest and what are the endanger animal. I downloaded some application that are created by WWF so the Leon can use do some references from it .

This application turn out very useful. We find out the content show the cause to endanger animal and the analysis of animal and the number of animal from year to year. So the Leon can continue on more detail research from internet. 

After Gerry are done with the flowchart , we start discuss on what equipment that we need and what kind of equipment that we can get from the college. After a short discussion, i started to create budget for our installation.

Budget

After i finish my budget i think almost roughly about 11-12 oclock midnight. So i order i team to take a break. Me and Gerry went out to buy some snack and drink for the team. After a 20 minutes break we continue back our work. 

We continue to think out the storyline so we can do the story plot. Base on the research that leon found and some other we collected previous week. We discuss and combine our idea and we create the story plot. After we create our story plot on a piece of paper, me gerry and leon start to create the soft copy in google docs. And Kah Suit base on story plot and start to design the graphic.

I help kah suit to find art reference and create some design. Kah Suit come out with a some kind of idea base a reference  she find. She want to create like for different section will come out a entrance which is an abstract face of the endanger animal font by the element in a forest.

Base on the reference i come out with some sketches to help Kah Suit. I start to sketch on a paper first then i trace with tablet in photoshop.

While we are doing these, it is kind of late so i order those that have finish their part to go back and rest. And meet up at my place at tomorrow 10am and i started to create the powerpoint slide while Kah Suit is creating the our installation art style. I create the slide on the Google Docs so everyone can double when they wake another morning.

 After i finish compiling the files for the proposal and powerpoint is already around 2 to 3 am. 

Kah Suit still creating the design during that time. I wanted to wait for her to finish but she ask me to go sleep and she will add in the image to slide and proposal after she finish the graphic. I went to sleep so i can wake up early to double check the slide and proposal.

I wake up early to check on the document and files. The export out the files for google and did some adjustment on the layout and create the content for the proposal. When Kah Suit arrived we discuss about art style and graphic so i can rearrange the position and page. After everything is compile nicely. We start to discuss about the presentation part. I distribute the slide according their leader position. After that we try to rehearsal before the presentation in college.
