We were told to think of three project ideas, and to finish them for homework. Altogether, we need to write up 900 words. I found making an interactive website for tourism was quite interesting and exciting, and it is quite a challenge to include enough information for tourists. A game was an even bigger challenge for me, as I have very little knowledge about game creation.
Idea 1:
My first idea is creating an interactive website on a specific tourist destination. This may include Hong Kong, Japan, New York, and London etc. I will try to use a number of website creating software, most likely well known software such as Adobe Dreamweaver. In the website, I will give important information about the tourist destination, going in depth of what a tourist would expect when they get there. Using buttons to link to specific areas tourists want to know (Food, Accommodation, etc.). In addition, I might include a range of different ways to advertise the tourist destination. This includes media posters, short videos of what you expect, and brochures advertising the destination. My website may link to appropriate sites that give information on holiday preparations, such as flight information sites, accommodation (hotel) sites, attraction sites and so on. My aim is to get adults aged 20 or above to read the website, and so they can be able to plan holiday using it. Another aim is to explain in full detail about the destination, including pictures and relevant maps to guide their way during their holiday.
This project is possible for me to finish, and it is interesting to produce. Since I have quite a clear understanding of very unique cities in the world, this project is really enjoyable and interesting for me. I will use the skills I have used during my previous website productions to create a much improved website production. I will attempt to use image editing software (Photoshop), to enhance the quality of the interactive website. It may be a good idea to ask for help to people that are familiar with website making. Searching online for solutions may also do the trick.
I will research on information about making a good website, and I will try to use all my ICT knowledge on this project.
Idea 2:
My second idea is creating a computer game. In order to create a computer game that is playable and not too hard to produce, I must read some advice on the internet. I should always start with very basic and simple games, such as space invaders, pacman, tetris or pong. These games are most easy to imitate, but still requires some skill to produce. I will use software such as game maker, mostly game creation sites found on the internet. If my first production of a similar game to space invaders is successful, I will try and challenge myself my creating an adventure or RPG (Role playing game). I may have to start by brainstorming on paper, and hand drawing ideas for my game. I may refer closely at really successful RPG and adventure games, to grab some ideas for my game. If I were to make a RPG or adventure game, I must outline the story and what will happen during the game. I shall also include a description of the game play either written or storyboarded.
I will use RAD (Rapid Application Development) tools, which are available for free online. During the production process, I may need to learn how to use ‘scripting language’ (a simplified programming language made for a specific task), but this may not be necessary since it is really difficult to use.
In addition, I should take my unfinished game and make friends try it, and see if I could improve it in specific areas. Ask them if the game is missing some important aspects, such as sound effects, graphics, controls etc. This will help me produce a well quality game, and to use my knowledge and things I learnt online to make a good game.
Idea 3:
My final idea will be creating a data analysis project. I must learn the full functions of Microsoft Excel to create spreadsheets and formulae on the program. I should use data from some of my different subjects, such as my geography survey on how HK residents perceive typhoons. I should enter the data collected into the spreadsheet, analyse each of the results by using graphs and functions. I need to present the information on a PowerPoint presentation, or a write up. If could be more useful if I attempted to survey more individuals to gather more information, helping me prove my hypothesis and give more information about what HK residents think about typhoons. I think the software’s I will use is most likely Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint. I should go in depth about the survey questions, and ask people about their personal opinions. This should include very long answer questions, so I can see what the full response of HK residents are. I may need to go outside to different parts of HK to ask the questions, so I will get fair responses to analyze. This will make it more challenging, as I will have to write up about each of the responses. This can be my challenge, to see if I can produce a quality presentation to show the class and the teacher including personal opinions from HK residents.
I should create an online survey to let people fill in. I should start off with simple multi choice questions, and ask for their personal opinions on each of the multiple choice questions they have answered. This is very useful because I will be able to send the survey to many people without trouble, whilst if I had to survey people in the streets, it would be a much harder job to accomplish.
