Week Thirteen

The group spent this meeting fine-tuning the app and beginning to get feedback on its design and layout and functionality. Adrian spent the week trying to fix a few of the bugs that still remained in the app which seemed to be affecting the transition of the image slideshow. Vicki was finishing the animations, she had rendered new images for the slideshow and had created buttons to show the user that some of the content were links. James continued to design the print package, using some of the newly rendered apartment images. The group would all write up their own evaluations and email the through to James who would also put together the final client presentation for next week.

Week Twelve

Almost there!

 James produced the written content for all apartments and other pages which Adrian added to the app. Vicki produced the layouts for the other pages within the app and the group developed these throughout the meeting, Vicki would develop these further for the next meeting. Adrian had produced some ‘electric lime’ key ring designs which he showed to the group. Vicki completed the rendering of the final apartment and Adrian added all new content to the app. The group also decided to change the contact button design and functions to utilities. Vicki would complete all animations for the next meeting and render all apartment images out to a higher quality. James showed the group everything he had produced for the final print package (business card, letterhead and compliments slip); all other print documents would be produced for the next meeting. The Group decided to aim to complete the app for next week

Week Eleven

Vicki had produced three apartments fully rendered and lit and gave these to Adrian to add to the app. James began to evaluate the group’s work throughout the project and produced a document to record this. Adrian continued to add content to the app.

Week Ten

Vicki worked further on the app design and also finished creating the final two apartments in SketchUp. Adrian began to fine tune the app, ironing out any bugs found during testing and ensuring the app ran smoothly. James finalised the branding guidelines and produced a booklet detailing all decisions made. There was no meeting this week.

Week Nine

Presentation of the Work in Progress to the clients.

For the presentation to the clients James had put together a power point of  the development of the app design, technical work, branding, apartment concepts and print design to showcase the work so far. Adrian had developed the app so that it worked and had gathered the content so that one apartment was fully functional to show the client. The team explained in detail the development of their work and the support behind each decision that was made. Furthermore, the team had carried out some assessments on the app by asking others opinions and testing it. The team gained great feedback for their work in progress from the clients!

A little bit of the coding and the app as it stands at the moment!

Week Eight

In the seventh meeting the team finalised the app architecture, design of the pages. Vicki had started to develop some more of the apartment concepts and had started to look in to rendering techniques. Adrian had developed the app further introducing some of the design elements in to the skeleton app and James continued to ensure brand and layout fitted together whilst beginning to look at print.


A couple of example of print design

Week Seven

The sixth meeting of the team involved all members as the ideas for the design of the app from last week were put to the one man technical team to see how feasible they actually were! Adrian began to test the basic ideas put forward to see how well they would work whilst Vicki and James developed the design of the app further.
