Presentation

On Thurs 17th March we presented the scrapbook to Phil Batty at uni. Me and the rest of the group produced a Powerpoint presentation to show Phil the development stages of the scrapbook. I introduced myself and my team to Phil and Sally our tutor. I talked them through the brief we were given and the feedback we had got from our meetings with Phil what he wanted on the scrapbook. I then showed them a mood board I had created to show the type of things we had to include on the scrapbook ie videos, ad campaigns etc. Following on from me Dave Jones talked about the wireframes he had created. Then Dan Whittaker talked about the themes we had looked at and why we chose to use the Light Bright theme. Andy Howard then followed Dan and talked about the technical side of wordpress and what he had done in the css to change things on the dashboard. Dan Farrell then followed Andy and talked about the social network links and other add ons we had added to the scrapbook. We all then showed Phil and Sally our finished scrapbook and talked them through it. Below are screenshots of the final scrapbook.

Feedback

The feedback we got from Phil was that he liked what we had done and that he would like to use it. He would like his all to go in to Force-7 and talk him and his team through how to use the dashboard and upload things to the site.

Amended Documentation

After sending Sally the documentation to check she asked me to make the following adjustments to it. She asked me to add a contents page and front cover with everyone's names on it. I made the adjustments as you can see below:

Documentation typed up

On Sat 12th March I finished typing up the documentation and posted it on basecamp and emailed it to Sally to have one final check on it to make sure it was ok before I printed it out and got it bound. I have typed up 15 pages with a word count of 4905

Finishing off the scrapbook

On Thurs 10th March in our lesson with Sally we finished off the scrapbook. I asked Sally to look at what I'd wrote so far on the documentation. Sally looked through my documentation and said it was good and that I should start typing it up. She asked me to print 3 copies of it out and get them bound which I will do once I get it typed up. We added as much material as we could to the scrapbook and Dan Farrell worked alongside Sally adding content about Force-7 to the sidebar. All that is left to do is for me to type up the documentation and arrange for Phil Batty to come in so we can show him the finished scrapbook in a presentation.

What we need to do

On Mon 7th March I posted What we needed to do next on basecamp

Hi guys

I'm going to work from home tomorrow and crack on writing the documentation for the scrapbook. If Andy and Dan W could carry on working on what they are doing from home and if Dave and Dan F can finish adding the content to go in the scrapbook. I've added all the videos so if you two can add the rest between you that would be great. We will then finish it off in Thurs lesson and I will contact Phil Batty to ask him to come in a week on Thurs to present it to him. Also could you all write and send me your thoughts on wordpress so I can add them to our evaluation.

Thank you

Chris

Carried on writing the documentation

I carried on writing the documentation down in my A4 writing pad so I could show it to Sally in our next lesson. This was to see if what I'd wrote so far was ok before I carried on writing up the documentation.

I added the videos

On Thurs 3rd March I posted the following on basecamp.

Hi guys

I've added the video's to the scrapbook if Dave and Dan Farrell could finish adding the rest of the content that would be great. I will carry on writing up the documentation and if Andy and Dan can carry on with coding and putting it together.

Thank you

Chris
