13th November 2013, Wednesday : Live Exhibition

We already reached IIS lab at 9.30pm and we continue to finish up the remaining works and decorations. I was helping design leader to craft and cut papers. After that, I was also helped logistic leader to hang up decorations.

During the exhibition, our group got feedbacks and comments from guest and lecturer, such as:

-our recycle bin can be put in the middle as suggestion.
-bigger hole and smaller hole
-the narrative is clear and direct
-light effect can be improve, its too dim, suggested to multiply led light
-the character inside the storyline. Is that the same guy who cut the trees and decide which bin to throw?
-the sound is not clear, confusing
-What if this installation is last long for 1 week? Find some way to solve it.

Before the exhibition ended up, Jazmi & Shahnim has gave us some feedback for each group.
They suggested us to polish our presentation skills. During the presentation, when there was some technical problems happened, my group were panic and stunned to present our installation fluently. We really need some teamwork to help the others. Always prepared plan A or B in case as standby to make work smarter. Overall, we still need to polish our professionalism. For myself, I personally suggested that I need to really speak up during the presentation.I was too quiet and lack of confidence to present.

8th November - 12th November 2013 : Working progress

We continue our working progress for the following days from 10am to 9pm. Its already 4 days left before the exhibition and we are running out of time. We set our target each day to finish our installation. I was in charged in finalizing the sound and after I finished it, I helped graphic design leader to craft papers. In this time, what we have left out is the panel of the storyline, animation for bad ending, printing hard copy such as poster, leaflet, and forms.

Before the exhibition day, we went to IIS for set up to test on the lightings and also continue with our progress.

6th November - 7th November 2013: Working Progress

We showed our working progress that our group did during semester break to lecturer.

We had add in an awareness poster & 2 animation to show good ending and bad ending.

All members were continued their progress.

I was in charged in sound editing and I already found some suitable background music to enhance the sound effect.

5th November 2013, Tuesday: Working Progress

After I came back from semester break, this is the first meeting for me to start to continue my work. I was waiting design leader to draw the graphics and I was take part to help her in paper cutting. I was also giving opinions and feedback on the animation and poster design.

28th August 2013, Wednesday: Beta Test

I was arrived IIS lab about 9pm and they reached after 10 mins later. We started to setting up our installations but we still had the last two scene haven't craft yet. Therefore, technical leader started to solve the technical problems and the rest of us were busy design leader to craft papers.

During the presentation, we got some feedbacks from guest lectures:

-unique paper craft

-the sound is linear but the visual is static

-didn’t touch the audience

-start button is too small

-need to perform a demonstration for the audience

-unclear with what is happening

-what is the starting point? double check with the story

What could we do inside the next 10 days before exhibition?

-repackage. make it nicer.(packaging sells)

-books, poster, screen, instructions

-put a logo there

-change the “take me” to something such as “its free”

-lose interesting , curious of waiting

-view of installation is quite limited, others can’t see it clearly

-very poor fabrication - wire, table, chair

-where is the selling point (strengthen the visual interface and audio interface)

-is the influence strong enough or not?

-if the graphic can move will be better?

-the user experience

-attraction point - title can be one strategy that will attract users

-using digital visual- having the paper visual but with digital visual

-the idea is not there, never thought the target audience , very normal case

21th August 2013, Wednesday: Working day

A week before beta test, we are still in the progress of paper crafting also to find a solution to stabilize he programing and arduino. We even sold the led light in during the class and lecturer told us we had sold it wrongly. It was supposedly to be the golden part of the soldering board at the bottom.
