The Last Week of Term

By thursday the website was looking much better than before and I am now very proud of what we have created.
I forgot to mention in my previous blog that Amy and Anastasija's original interviews didn't work and so we were able to have a group discussion before they went out again. It was during this discussion that we settled on going for a more personal theme of one on one interaction with the viewer and the market's feel, resulting in the questions the stall owners were asked being more about the overall experience of being in the market.
This in my opinion is where we really started to get involved with the project, what with 119 being completed etc. we were ready to get personal with it as well and get the whole thing up and running before everyone disappeared for Easter.
I mentioned earlier what we created along the way and so for this blog I will add some photos Amy has taken of the market which we shall use for the individual stall pages, and some photos of the avenues between the shops, where new content is going so the website isn't all based on the stalls and stall owners.
By Friday of the last week we were pretty much done. Wednesday and Thursday were the days where the real slog was on as we outlined the website then filled it in with the detail, including a new section on the history of the market to show it's background and strong link to the customers, and so by friday we were pretty much done and after testing the website to see if it worked (which it did), we were ready to call it a day and export it to disk.
Here we ran into some strange trouble with the website uploading when capital letters were in file names so after a painful half an hour going through all the titles of the files in the 116 folder on my desktop and changing them all to lower case, we exported the website and work to disc and are ready to create the presentation.
The original plan was that if we didn't finish the website in time, Jeff, Amy and Anastasija were able to access Dreamweaver and still work on it, which left me with the job of creating the powerpoint presentation for our group.
Even though the website works, I'm still taking on this responsibility and so now that the website is finished I shall explain the process of making the presentation and why I will include certain points and facts about making this website.
That's all for now as I'm now going to focus on MEDI 117 for a while so stay tuned and after the weekend I will update again about the presentation progress.
Take care,
Joe
