Draft Website

Assignment 1 of 3 - due 22nd Feb 2016 pls

This is the Standard Client Brief (you will have to modify this accordingly depending on whom your client is)

You work as a consultant to an electrical reseller and have created a report on emerging technologies that are on the horizon and how they will impact on the business both from a reselling point of view (i.e. should we stock them to resell) and a social impact point of view (how will this device impact on society as a whole).

Their main sales from this business come from TV systems, but they sell large electrical items like Fridges and Freezers, HIFI systems and most recently they stock game consoles and games. Also they have a specialist photographic department that sell cameras and accessories.
This assignment is a continuation of the e-Business assignment done earlier.

The task is to create a 5 page website for the business ( they also want to sell goods online if possible)

• Home page, with Company logo and a summary of the Business that they are a small local family run business their values etc. They have a twitter and Facebook and YouTube pages and these need to be linked to as well. (merit / distinction create real ones!)
• TV Page : TV’s are the company’s main business, so this is the main page, show a range of TV’s from cheap to expensive (not ridiculous expensive). You need about 9 TV’s in this section covering all styles and tastes.
• Photography page : This is page on cameras and accessories. This area of the business is struggling due to impact of mobile phones. So mobile phones with good camera abilities need to be added. So have 9 Cameras (including 3 smartphone camera capable devices).
• White Goods Page : This is fridges / freezers / microwave ovens / dishwashers / washing machines. Show 3 items from each section, so 15 in total. Prices from low to high again.
• Gaming page : This is a new area show the major consoles and a selection of games. At least 9 images may be more.

As a web consultant you would first create a draft design of the website and show this to the customer for approval.

So create a rough sketch of the website, show all 5 pages with a proposed layout. Show this to the customer and take on board feedback. Also you need to be realistic about what you can and can do with a website (LO2: 2.1)

(M3 – appropriate structure and approach has to be shown &

D3 innovative and creative thoughts have been applied)

Explain to a customer using other peoples websites as well what is realistic, and discuss the design concepts in creating a website (LO1 : 1.1). You should include HCI issues, such as perception use of metaphors etc..

(M1 – effective judgements have been made &

D1 Self Criticism of approach has taken place)

At this stage you will have no website; just some sketches and what you need to write is how you balance the needs of a client against what is realistically can be done in a website. You need to justify this with examples from other organisation.

Also be realistic about your own abilities in creating a website. Write as if to a customer (or to the real one and include all correspondence) and also for research point of view for this assignment.

Unit 37: Digital Image Creation and Development
Unit 38: 3D Computer Modelling and Animation
Unit 39: Computer Games Design and Development

Theory of games design

Load up and have a look at 3 3D computer modelling software packages.

Maya, 3D studio max and Blender.

When you are looking at them compare all 3 for usability and functionality. Do some research into what the requirements are for each application.

Then compare 3 computer games.

Do an unbiased report on all 3 games, try to pick games on different platforms and also have at least one of the games that span multiple platforms.

Assignment One for Unit 38 and Unit 39

Write all this up as an assignment.

Then we work on the game (unit 37 /38 and 39) : Assignment 2

The task is to create 3 rooms which are interconnected. Two of the rooms are to explore and the 3rd room contains the zombies (bots).

The first room is the largest and is set in an outside environment with landscaping and grass and some water features.

The Second room is a cave linked from the first room and has a pool in the centre and limited lighting.

The third room is access via a door at the end of the cave and this room has zombies which will attack the player on sight.

HND : Project

HND Project

The project is an all year task that all HND students undertake.

The project can be a 3D game (that students work together to make) or it can be a CMS web based system (including the various systems, hardware and software used) or a Network Solution (security system, network for a customer)

One important task is that a project can be done solo or in groups, however individual work is marked, not the group effort!

Here is my PowerPoint of all the elements needed to do the project this year
