Evaluation

The Planning I did before I begun was layed out sensibly and realistically giving a good even amount of time for the tasks depending on how long I thought it would take. What I didn’t take into account was there might be errors in the html making the Video player not align where I want it to be or even the video player itself had to be debugged to make it work correctly using flashvars. Some of the images became corrupt due to the managing the sites and then had to be designed from a last saved point. All in all though if I would have been more observant whilst doing my work some of this time used could have been avoided.

I managed my time with the time planner I created at the start of the assignment, the only reason it went over time on some tasks was due to errors in HTML/ ActionScript 2.0. I managed my project in stages doing each individual task 1 at a time in order to ensure I came out with the best possible design I could. By managing my project everything was more organised and it was quicker to make the website because I knew exactly how it was laid out and where the content was placed.
When I was reviewing my work it helped me modify it to suit the target audience more which makes it easier to understand for them sustaining their interest. It also cut out anything I didn’t notice which was irrelevant to the site saving some memory. I would note down how I coded certain things into the HTML and how I corrected my flashvars to work so encase anything happened I could refer to it and save myself time. Graphics were annotated with just key points to make it simple what I want out of them. E.g. the font on the header is a to lighter a colour and blends in with the banner.
A lot of problems mainly occurred when trying to embed the video player into the webpage. After a hour of debugging I finally got it working. The reason it didn’t work was because I spelt a folder wrong and it basically was trying to find a folder that didn’t exist. Some of the Video Player buttons didn’t work and had to be rewritten in ActionScript.
The Creativity of the work is reasonably high, it was inspired mainly of the colour scheme of youtube because it is very easy colours on the eyes for the user. The Graphics however were my own idea and were just developed reasonably fast due to it was into the criteria to create a mass amount of eye candy.













Original Intentions

My original layout was used for the final piece exactly how it was created and wasn’t changed because this layout was brilliant and easy for the users to navigate through the website, graphics were altered to fit the content on the webpage.
