Presentation to Mr.Razif

Friday, 25th April 2014.

Today our lecturer, mr.Razif told us that we need to do present to him our latest idea/progression before we can present it to our client the following week. We were given time to do some work before our presentation. During the weekends the four of us were doing research on how can we make the tutorial page for the tabs into something new and different, also easy for the beginners to understand.

Dhev had an idea of showing the guitars neck instead of the normal tabs because if you are a beginner guitar player, it's easier for you as you can see which strings you have to place your fingers. We then discussed it as a group and we implement his idea and made a flat guitar neck icon for the tabs section.

The art of Innovation & Group Discussion

Mr. Razif showed us this video in class. It was a really good video on how people should approach themselves as innovators. After watching this video, Guy Kawasaki inspired me as innovator/designer. He showed how to not make the presentation boring and he also said we shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes as products because they are always sent out as beta testing first

After watching the video, we were assigned to discuss on

- features and things u plan to implement

- research on possibilities of those features

- list down the features and indicate which features cant find tutorial on

- list down features on that is close to what you want to achieve

What we did on that very day

Fever

Monday, 14th April 2014.

Today our class was canceled because our lecturer Mr.Razif had a slight fever. So we continue with the magazine design and mock ups.

Research on 360 panoramic photo

Today, Mr.Razif told us that we have to change the leader of the group every 2 weeks. For the past few weeks our leader was Dhev. He's been leading us with good leadership and gave us some insight in music and share his idea concept and we all work together on it. Now the torch has passed down to me. I'll be leading the group for 2 weeks. I shall lead my group to success. Now, as what we did today we did a mock up of our magazine content and I researched on how to make a 360 panoramic photo and here are some of the link:-

Meeting with the client

Monday, 7th April 2014.

Abang Rom, our client with us giving some advice and his story.

Today we met our client, abang Rom. He was the founder & chief editor of ROTTW. Before we started presenting, abang rom gave us some inspiring story about his past work and introduce us how the music industry started in Malaysia. He was full of energy and very experienced man. Now, as he finished gave us the talk and some Q&A session with him, we started presenting. We were the third group to present. We told him our ideas about the digital magazine sections. After we presented, he told us that we need to research & understand more about the magazine and the music and always ask ourselves "what if?". The four of us took his advice and we will research more and present a better one.

Questionnaire

Friday, 4th April 2014.

Mr.Razif checking out our questions

Today we were tasked to develop 4 questions that would help us in our upcoming questionnaire. The purpose of the questions were to help us on how to make the "gear review section" and the "tutorial section" better. We discussed and brainstormed together and came up with a few questions and we asked Mr. Razif to check on it. From all the questions we've written down, we chose the best 4 with Mr.Razif:

1.Would you like to learn the tutorial with narration or with just the video visual?

2.Would you like to include tabs/chords or would the video be sufficient for the tutorial? 

3.Would it be better to have a celebrity review(video) or would a professional insight be fine? 

4.Do you prefer to view a list of available stores or to view the nearest store to your location? 

We chose to ask these questions to the public instead of the people in the university, we would need only 10 people to ask.

First group discussion

Monday, 31st March 2014.

Discussion with Mr.Razif

Today, the whole class was tasked to create a digital magazine for our client, which is a magazine publishing company named ROTTW (Rhythm of the Third World). Their magazine content focuses on local rock music. We were divided into groups and each group will focus on a certain section to improve their magazine. Each group will need to improve and introduce a new section for the digital magazine.

Our group is called 3M1I, the leader is Dhev and the rest is me, marwan and izzat. Today we were discussing on which area to improve the magazine. We were searching for sections that would allow us to apply a variety of multimedia elements, to make it more interactive and user friendly. We decided to improve the "Gear Review" section, as for the introduce new section for the digital magazine, we chose to put a new "Video Tutorial" section for readers to learn some songs. We also decided to do something new with the cover as well, it's called parallax/motion pictures. The pictures on the cover will move for a second like they're in motion and there will be sound too. After decided on what we want to do, we have to present our ideas to the other groups and vice versa.

First group brainstorm

Friday, 28th March 2014.

Today was the first lesson in this class. We were taught on how to brainstorm ideas in many different methods. So far, there are 3 methods but we've only been taught on how to use only 1.

These are the 3 brainstorming methods:

1. Imaginary Brainstorming
2. Random Stimulation
3. Brain writing 6-3-5

The ones that our specialist, Mr.Razif taught was "Brain writing 6-3-5". This method of brainstorming focuses on asking ourselves a certain question that relates to solving the main problem.

These were the exercise, the questions that we asked ourselves and the answers for it:
