My Client Brief

After a meeting with my client, Mr Mills has asked me to create a tool or resource to help with the teaching of ICT to the younger secondary school years. My target will be keystage3, specifically year 8.
The focus of my resource will be graphics's in fireworks, which is a planned subject for that year.
My briefing specifics are;

• The product must be interactive.
• The product must include levels
• Key words must be incorporated into the product
• Pictures and images are needed
• Knowledge and theory questions and infomation should be included
• The client has asked that video be included
• The kscs theme must be present

Skills needed for my project

Skills needed to complete my project to a good standard:
-Basic ICT skills
-Good understanding of my project subject (Adobe fireworks)
-Ability to use Adobe Flash to a good standard
-Communication skills to ease relations and decrease misunderstanding between myself and the client
-Language and grammar skills must be of a good standard to input information into my product.

Skills that will need to be learnt or expanded;
-Increase my skill from basic to good with flash
-Refresh my knowledge of fireworks software

I believe that to further my knowledge of the Adobe software needed for my project i will need take some time to get to know all of the tools.
By my estimate it will take about a week to get to the ability i want but i will continue to learn more about the software while i am using it.

Analysis of a Flash product

Components of Grand Stone High Flash product;
-menu
-clock
-moving component (car)
-interactive buttons
-introduction

The moving component which is a car is controlled by you to navigate the product. The car in controlled by you and it is like a game, this is so the navigation is more enjoyable and unique. The buttons are shown as garage's and when you enter the button is released. By using a mini game instead of a normal navigation menu makes the product and information more entertaining for the audience which i believe is key stage 3 as older audiences would find that this is slow and frustrating to use especially as the information available is very limited and the navigation game would take far more time to use than it would take to read or look at the infomation provided.

Product Multimedia Content

Much of the success of digital multimedia is due to its interactive capabilities, which allow users to interact with the product by responding to prompts. I want to create an effective and successful multimedia product and to do so i will need to include interactive features and capabilities.

I can include the folowing suitable interactive user elements, including

-buttons

-image maps
-hot spots
-text links

-rollovers

-menus

My Client has asked me to create a multimedia resource for ICT.
