Multimedia: Portfolio with 3 interactions

Intro page will have a quote that will relate to what I'm thinking, and over time the quote will change out.
by seeing work you click a category, in which expands to reveal all the projects. Then by clicking on a specific project, it will load up in a scrollable from left to right view and allows the viewer to see all the images of the project.


Site Proposal

My portfolio site will house my body of work in multiple areas. The navigation will be a side bar that will expand once clicked on a main topic, in which will show individual projects. The expandable navigation will allow for growth over time so more projects can be shown.

When entering my portfolio site, a simple greeting of hello and a quote that inspires or influences me will be placed. I feel this would give a general emotion that I aim for.

Each project will show images of the work and allow for an easy slide of left to right scroll.

The site will be built in HTML and incorporate a resume, contact details, and of course the identity of bright colors that represents my efforts of coming in with a smile and willingness to work.

How to find a fishing buddy already in the community

-giving Russell the ability to view from the map and getting instant feedback of how many fellow fisherman are in the area is helpful if Russell has a question to ask

-in this case, asking what type of bait should be used for bass fishing is important to get knowledge that Russell should obtain.

-after the needed question is asked, giving Russell the ability to swift through other fisherman in the area gives Russell information as to the other fishermen's experience in fishing and what their favorite type of fishing is too.

-when leaving the buddies option, giving Russell the ability to do some of the other applications while waiting for a response from the fellow fisherman in the area will give Russell new information as to how to find the right spot to fish.

-finally receiving feedback from the fellow fisherman gives Russell the sense of knowledge to learning a new trick of the trade and giving a response back gives Russell a sense of accomplishment.

How to find fish within the area

-from Russell's view, knowing where the hotspots are the first time out can be difficult so the fish finder can give instant, quick feedback as to where the fish are

-simply giving the application a chance to scan a photograph of the water will give Russell the needed information for being able to get the right catch that he wants

-the ability of viewing where the fish are within the area will also give Russell the information as to how big they are, how much they weigh, and where in the water the fish are.

Multimedia: Final directions

the only thing left is to add numbers to the depth chart and fix the app. button. YAY!! getting there

Multimedia: Revised iphone and ipad app

With the revisions of the iphone and ipad, I refined the look a feel even more than before by adding more relationship of how the hub interacts or how the information is given. By giving the the user the ability to separate info of another fisherman in the field by giving the name with the experience points and then giving information about that fisherman. I also decided to integrate the the keyboard more into our system by keeping it the brown. Also gave another level of read/separation for view the fishermen in the area by applying a stroke of color around their image and then giving the number of fisherman circle a drop shadow to give more separation. I also decided to keep the mail icon, but giving a different color gave it a more friendly feel and the fact it is there when you view the fisherman, it gives you the opportunity to message them. Convenience is key, I feel, the ability to receive information and look through it easy to understand is best.


With the Ipad, the revisions included putting the illustrations of the fish in the water, and changing the feel of how the application opens automatically in camera mode and not having another camera icon to make it as confusing. I also made the depth chart more apparent to where you looking in the water by making them elongate more.
Overall I did apply a new image for the background to give it more as this is your fishing pole that your looking at. Micah and I always liked the idea of having the iphone and ipad as a personal use and having imagery to compliment it was nice.

More refinements to come.

Multimedia: More of Iphone/Ipad

MultiMedia: Iphone/Ipad

MultiMedia: Iphone Appilcations

For my design I wanted to stick with the natural feel of how iphone looks and feel, I would like to work with imagery to bring in some contrast instead of a straight forward feel. I included an icon system that represents the 3 main categories (the fish finder, camera feature, and buddies).







And here is an idea where I would like to take it.

MultiMedia: Site Map

MultiMedia: Inspiration/Color palette

With the color palette, the idea is to try represent both sides of fishing being the leisure and the sporting. Within this group, there is a wide range for ideas for choices, but also some of these might work at all for what we are going towards. I personally believe the last four in this group represent the community very well, and there might be a chance to look at adding or rearranging some the colors to make better sense.

The Web is Dead Response

For the past 18 years, we have been living behind some kind of monitor, which means when I was 2, I guess I had more time to explore outside, not having to rely on update feeds to keep me going, as well as sending mail the so called snail route instead of email. Now a days, I feel bad that I don't send mail to often or even receive mail besides the bills that come in because I realize I actually get excited to see something that someone physically put time into sending it out into the mail. Anymore the transfer to email is very easy to compile, but you have to rely on cyberspace to get to the person. I won't lie, I have yet to switch over from sending my bills in physically to electronically, for the fact I always wonder what happens if they don't receive it, how long does it take to process, and what happens if the computer crashes in the process. I always wonder about that.

Of all the things I look at everyday almost, is Facebook, Google, weather.com and my email, just for the fact those are my main areas to wanting to see updates, of course with Google, I use it for a lot my beginnings to my research. Just these simple things that I go to is convenient and easy to get to, so I don't believe that the web is dead, but it is evolving and shaping to our everyday needs. As a designer, beginning to design for the web world you don't just think one page or one use, you think of many different approaches to how the user is going to interact with the screen. Overall convenience is key in everybody's life even mine and that's the web is always there for people conventionally.
