Process and work delegation:

- we all came up with a few ideas each abd choose mine to develop
(Lucas, Azrielle, Felicity)


- we all sat down together and thought it out, what it would involve what the point was etc
(Lucas, Azrielle, Felicity)


- after discussion with tutors and each other we decided to go home and rethink the initial paper prototype, and regroup or ideas next class
(Lucas, Azrielle, Felicity)


- we all made our own mock ups based on our paper prototype, so we could all get our head around InDesign
(Lucas, Azrielle, Felicity)


- we all Decided that my mock up was the most successful and we developed it further.
(Lucas, Azrielle, Felicity)


- I went home and remade the mock up, more completed with some extra features we discussed in class

we took in and discussed the feedback we received from our class interaction exercise, we used all our best ideas including azrielles design based on the appearance. I used InDesign and produced our final website. our TV on demand website, called E- Lemon (from our team name) has a strong focus on accessing the large amount of information that a website like this has to offer. we tried to make it as easy ass possible to find and watch a specific episode as quickly as possible, and also limit the amount of windows that one has to click through to et to the page they want.

a big problem we identified with similar websites in existence was getting to an episode is far to difficult and once there can be difficult to backtrack and or find the next episode. our solution to this included tabs down the left hand side of the page enabling the user to quickly flick back to the list of episodes and seasons. also we have put the next and previous episodes below the viewing screen so watching the next one is a simple click away, or the loop button with automatically play the next one for you.

we have included am optional sign in button which will enable users to subscribe to shows and create playlists and receive recommended shows based on what they watch.

we took our initial mock up to class for feedback from the class.

issues identified by the class were...
- genre selection and search bar
- rating system and comment system
- episode and season select
- landing page


- the genre/search bar was a little confusing due to the search button being next to the genre select and not next the search bar. this was initially to use the genres as search limitations or boundaries.
because this looked confusing we decided to change the concept so that clicking a genre will display the top rated shows of that particular genre, and the search button has been moved next the search bar.


- is the comments section really necessary?
although we discussed this and it was decided that people really like to post comment on videos, we decided to swap the comment section for a rating system. which would make sense because we have top rated shows.


- the landing page was identified to be the biggest issue, as it launched straight into needing to search to actually show something.
we had discussed a welcome page, which would display the website logo and search bar nice and big and perhaps the top rated shows. after the feedback we received we decided that it would be best to include it.

after meeting with felicity and azrielle we looked over each others designs and takes on our paper designs. we drew ideas from all from all of them, using largely my own layout with elements of felicity's design including the season to episode flow and the idea she had of having the top 5 rated shoes link bar change to more episodes of the show you are currently watching.
