Final Reflection!!!

Final Reflection!!!

I really enjoyed working with the team of Homestigation and it was fun experience doing this course. I am very much pleased with the final outcome from all three stages of the project and the process. And at every step of my journey I learned a lot and mastered new techniques and also learned team work. I also learned how to manage a project and I think this course is   structured in such a way that it helps you learn it effectively. All the deliverables of the course are aligned with each other and if you keep up with the deadlines than it becomes a whole lot easy.

The Trade Show:

It was a busy day but a very fun day. I was very busy with the logistics and running the show. It was fun working with the team of Homestigation.

Here are some memorable pictures.

The Trade Show work in progress... :

After the designing of poster, brochure and instructions display banner was complete I ordered these items to be developed and on the day of the presentation I organized a self-pick up of these items. I also wanted to have a nice white background for the tradeshow so I organized a stand for the stage, curtains and table covers. And I also took care of all logistics of these items. I used the best decoration with professional style of presentation to showcase our project. I also made power point presentation for the sales pitch, in short, I took care of all the little details even what to wear and what not to wear. 

Currently, I am working on the pitch and  power point presentation. It will be presented in our Trade Show on the plasma TV (if available).

Getting ready for the trade show:

The other thing I was doing on the side was to create ideas and themes for our trade show. I called the meeting to discuss the design of the trade show but no one wanted to meet because two members were busy with their assignment. So I finalized one design myself and asked Khalafan to help me make product brochure, poster and instructions banner.

Here are some pictures:

We also designed a poster for the background, here is a screen shot from Khalfan's computer.

In the contact session we had to present our digital prototype and do user testing. We had almost all the major functions of the website up and running.

For the digital prototype I have developed a simple user interface for the PHP database as well. It is a simple php page that gives latitude and longitude information of the suburb and can be used to plot the different markers and can be used in processing the hot spots in the Homestigation website.

Here is the php code:

This is the screen shot of the page.

In response to user feedback:

We met today with our group and discussed how to apply changes in response to user feedback from last week’s presentation and  how our final website should look like. We had to consider both interface and functionality of the website. Khalfan drew new wire frame because he was doing most of the HMTL, CSS and JavaScript. We all agreed on the wireframe
