Design Challenge 2 -Mobile App

29th April [Team Meeting]

I WAS LATE FOR FOR THE MEETING DUE TO A FREAK OF NATURE!!! A strong wind suddenly blew in and slammed on my room door, locked it with my keys inside the room! Have to wait for the landlord to come by and open the door for me and by the time i reached school i was 25mins late for our meeting (even after i ran like a mad dog)

The meeting was briefed, we just go through on our powerpoint slide that we have prepared individually on the weekend to see if everything was fine and everyone was ready for the presentation. Bhadjee as usual was not present for the meeting making it the 3rd time to miss out for group meeting.

1st May [Final Presentation]

Practice, practice, practice. Practicing my presentation for the past 2 days and still i fumbled when it matters.
I was doing segment of macro level explanation, things when fine, seems to getting glenn attention when i was describing about the stages on how we reach to where we are now and suddenly my mind when blank for a short while.
Luckily i regain my composure and managed to continue on pass the baton to the next speaker quickly. Knowing chloe looking to critique me make me more nervous i guess.

Some of the screenshot of my presentation:

Reflection of Design Challenge 2:

Thing have not been an enjoyable ride for me on Design Challenge 2, team wise. Compared to the first team in DC 1, where everyone was working together, DC 2 especially bhadjee was really bad in both teamwork and giving out ideas, more like a passenger. Some of the image seen for the final presentation was different from what i post here(eg the restroom page) this is due that we failed to make the app in MIT. After this week lecture, i email Glenn(still have not received a reply) about the team issue but as Grant point out it is already too late to make a complaint. I really like to know how to deal with issue i faced in the group in a real world enviroment experienced.

The only good part in DC2 was the learning experienced and the steps taken in doing an app. Before these course i do not even know of the Traditional paper prototyping method and its usefulness. Stuff like knowing your targeted group, research and diversity in teams, i would have never grasp on that concept without doing this course. Overall it's have been good cant wait for DC3.

26th April

Have a really short talk on facebook. Reporting what each of us have done as expected no reply from bhadjee and at this point i really could care less nor am i angry at him. Sadly as i predicted Raul really have problem getting the page in MIT up as what it should be from my design.
Grant suggested he would just reuse the powerpoint for our upcoming presentation. Since the page could not be seen on the app i decided to post all my work here.

Design Challenge 2 -Mobile App

20th April - 23rd April
[The Dreaded days]

Dreaded 4 days. Since i am doing all of the page and icons with no help at all. Grant and Rahul are busy preparing, reading and testing the MIT app to work around it, Each of us are busy preparing for the app to be make and present the app in the best way possible. Things could have been faster if 'someone' could have help me sliced the page/button for the team to use on the MIT app. That someone is Bhadjee.

I am not trying to whine or be an ass. We are obviously working in 3's instead of 4's. Constant messages, private messages was send on facebook group with no reply received. I am doing 2 job:-

1. have to make sure the pagelayout, icon, button was up
2. slicing those items to individual to be put separately in MIT by Rahul

There are times i questioned myself why am i doing Bhadjee's part? The only things that make me going is not to let my other 2 team members down as i am doing the most important part of the app. Since i already promised Grant and Rahul the earliest day i could give to them as individual subject(page, layout,button) was on the 23rd, quitting is not an option. 

Image below shows how i do the pages and slicing it up for Rahul and Grant usage:-

The top and below navigation page was separated into 2 segments:

The things really is easy but it is too time consuming and as a team we lose out in helping one another.

Reflection for the 4 days: As i wrote previously i should have approached Rohan or Glen earlier to bring up the issue of bhadjee. Things could have been done sooner and as i told Rahul i could have help him with the MIT app as he is having problem in displaying stuff correctly as it should on the app. This would surely impact on our app design before the presentation.
