Final Video

This is My Final Video
I know it doesn't have to be on the blog but its good just to keep record.


This Video is a mixture of bits of everything, half filmed, half flash animated.
seems all a bit random but it gets the point across.

My Interface - Actual Final

 Screen Recording of Interface + Flash Made Usage Video

Screen Recording (poor quality)



How One Would Use The Splatts Basics


How The Splatt Feature Would Work

Reflection

Making the interface has been a lot of work, I really didn't know how much time I would be spending on flash to try and make the interface as good as possible. I feel I have done well In expressing its Ideas even if every single button doesnt work.

Even though It was a lot of work I really enjoyed it, well at least at first, after a while I think I just used flash too much especially with my Video as well.
I think my work has come a long way, The interface seemed to be be forever changing, with everybodies suggestions.

I now have an Idea of what suitable colours are and how to use them after my bout eighth colour change.
My knowledge of flash has gone from absolutely nothing to knowing how to do most things (not the coding).

So overall I think this project was good All three Parts helped show me the design process from start to finish as this was alot about audience and solving a problem.

Problems - With Final Interface

The only problems with my final interface is that my 'info button opens when held down, so to click on anything else makes the info pop up. I've had to make the buttons reach around the outside so that they are just clickable.

Also for some reason after Id played the splat movie, only one button would work before the interface just stopped. do I made it that no button except for the logout button works. so that you can log back in and start again.

Improvements

The improvements I made to my interface were pretty simple, I still hadn't got the colour quite right. I went over the colours one final time with my tutor and we found the Colours That are in my Final Interface.
As opposed to being dull, like I had done previously, we made the colours brighter but a hint and darkness so that they stand out but look much more sophisticated and overall appealing.

Final Colour Scheme

Not Final Hand in

What I thought was Final hand in was just a presentation, we now have another 2 weeks to work on our interface and Video.
