PRESENTATION

Today we had our presentations with Tony it went really well and all four groups had produced some really nice work. For our group because we had all indervidualy made and interface for the material each we decided to present our work indvdualy me and Zina both showed our DVD's and Rachel and Erin both showed their websites.
I could not get the DVD onto disc so i had to show Tony it on the computer but i think he got the idea.

MOCK UP MENU

After going over the survey material from the students that take the cooking course we were able to finf out some valuble information to help aid us in our design some key points were that the students liked using websites that were easy to navigate and get around as well as easy to view so i wanted the DVD menu to be simpile clean and easy to get around in.

I also noticed that Bebo was one of the most popular websites used by the students of the cooking course. so i created the buttons at the top of the menus to be like that of the Bebo site.

PAPER PROTOTYPE

After listening to Sam Mann (IT) professional about the projects he had done with the Otago Museum such as digital fish and the early settlers of Dunedin it was soon clear that to create this DVD to a proper professional standard that would work and function right for Tony and his staff and students, I would have to do some paper proto typing

for the DVD even to figure out simple things like where the back or menu button would go and how they would work.

Here are some examples of the proccess that i went about to figure out how the DVD would work.

MENU

Me and Zina decided to create the DVD menu in the form of the Comercial kitchen floor plan and have the video and other material in the areas of where that food would be created and prepared in but we soon realised that we would run into some problems as some of the different dishes that they prepare and create would be done in several different areas of the kitchen so this idea would not really work.
So me and Zina have decided to make our own DVDs each

DVD MENU

I started to create some of the mock up menus for the DVD after looking into some kitchen based websites for look and feel of the DVD to give it a metaphor of a kitchen the best website i found in my opinion was the fisher and paykel website as they use simple photos of their products at interesting angles to create really good compositions.
They also used a range of colours similar to their products on the website which also gave the feel of a kitchen

We finaly got the surveys back now we have to code all the information so that its usefull to us

MATERIAL

After talking to Morgan about the amount of content that we would receive and had already started off with from Tony. It was decided that the best way to go about this project would be to create a DVD for the video based content and then also create a password secure website for most of the other material.
Our group has decided that but having as much of the same material on both the DVD and website it would help give much more easy access for the students to gain access to the information needed when required

Survey

Our Group the spatulers along side the group the superfriends created a survey for students of the two hospitality courses we want to understand what the students of the two cooking courses liked when using technology and interface material manily being websites.
