Illustrate existing examples that you have to compete against.

There are only a few legal things that I have to worry, is that the pictures of Newport and copyright issues.I have used these pictures to identify places/landmarks from Newport.
This is for people who to know things about landmarks and places in Newport, I would like to think people would have no problem using my app. It is simple and useful and easy for anyone that will use it.



The media that this project will use is PNG files, JPEG files, because this project wont need any special programs to run it.



The packaging was an empty shoe box with my design all over it, with the DVD case stuck in side of the lid of the box with more of my design on it, the design for the box is on my other posts of this blog.

Google maps

Google maps are a web map application which is provided by Google, it powers mostly every map based services. It offers a street map view, a route guide for either travelling in car, bike, and public transport or even by foot.  Google maps images are from a satellite but these images are not updated with real time.

You can use Google maps for everyday use; you can use Google maps in a teaching environment so that a teacher can show students/pupils different places from around the world. You can use it for directions to look at street environment and establishments. Google maps can be useful for a hub of knowledge, so that the user can see the location of things in their area, also Google can also dot links to YouTube and information in your area that you are looking at.

Interactive product 3.

interactive tv.

 Interactive tv is a device  which allows a user/viewer to interact with the tv. The use of interactive tv is a different kind of interactivity which are both used as usage and teconogly.

The easiest form of interactivity with a tv is the common and well know remote which allows you to surf the channels and to pause and to rewind. Even though this is an type of interactivity, people claim that using a remote is like turning a page of a book so they claim turning the pages makes the book interactive.


Interactive television projects are consumer electronics boxes which provide set-top interactivity, while other projects are supplied by the cable television companies, multiple system operator or  a system-wide solution. Even other, newer, approaches integrate the interactive functionality in the TV, thus negating the need for a separate box. Some examples of interactive television include.

Brainstorm of Director piece

What I have done

My Town project.

Over view on what I have done for this project.

For this project I  started to do a brain storm of ideas, coming up with ideas describing places in newport, for example like the rugby ground, retail park, leisure centre and many more other places in Newport. I used a website called Bubbl.us which allows you to make a brainstorm. this can be found in an earlier post that I have done on this. I soon had a fair amount of ideas listed so then i had to pick 6 ideas and research them, I had the six ideas ready which were, Transporter bridge, Newport Castle, the Riverfront, City Centre, Newport Docks, Newport County. After I had these six ideas I researched them and wrote important things about them these can be found in other post on my blog. The links from the websites that I used can also be found on my blog. I had to search for a suitable picture showing all of Newport  this was tricky as there was not any decent pictures that I could find.

I came up with this idea because I didn't want to do anything similar to anyone in my class, and after checking that no one had the same idea as me, I decided to make a easy to use app and also making it educational using monuments from Newport.

The next thing I had to do was come up with was what I was going to do as my director piece  I had one idea that I wanted to do straight away so i had to think how I was going to make it. The idea I had was to have a map of Newport showing mostly what Newport has to offer and then having a dice in the corner.



The dice would be made piece by piece in Photoshop, I had to make each piece of the dice separately after making one side of the dice , i created a new layer and made the next side of the dice, doing this six times in total to represent an actual dice. This was fairly easy to make because all I had to do was make the first side of the dice and then add more circles to the next one. I used a template of a dice for the first one making it easier to make the others, then I added outer glow to dots on the dice to give it a more realistic look.


After I had made the dice the next thing I did was to go to director and start my director piece  i found a suitable picture of Newport and imported all of the stuff i was going to need to create my director piece.

So firstly I had the picture of Newport as a background and then put a stop button on it so it wouldn't move it would be a still image and then i added a play button which would take you to the next part of my director piece and also a quit button so it would quit my director piece  After doing this i moved on to the next frame and then added my picture I was going to use and then also put a stop button on it. Then i added my dice to the picture and moved it to the bottom of my picture so it wouldn't take up much space. Then I had to set the dice to randomized to a different number after doing this I added the first piece of information which i did, after added this piece of information i had to put a back button on the page so it would go back to the dice page, then i had to set the dice to assign with the piece of information. So i set the number 5 of the dice to the Transporter bridge information page. I had to do this 5 more times changing the dice number so it would be assigned to the next piece of information. I also had to put a delay from where the dice selected a number otherwise it would jump from page to page. After I did all this i had to check that syntax was correct and that my information spelling was all correct. By doing this you did not know what piece of information you was clicking on so it could send you to the same piece of information twice the power of randomizing.


Then I created a image on Photoshop of my town in different using colours which was hard because I didn't make anything like before, this this can be found in other post in my blog.

I'm going to present my director piece on DVD and have a box covered in my design and when you open the box a DVD case will stuck to the sided, and also my design inside .

Mabinogion

Mabinogion is the title which is given to eleven prose stories which collated from the Welsh medieval manuscripts. The tales are from a pre christian mythology, but some of the tales date back from the Iron age. Every one of the tales is a product  of highly developed Welsh medieval tradition both oral an also written. 

Lady Charlotte Guest was the first to publish translations of the Welsh collections and also popularising the word Mabinogion in the 19th century. 

The collections of stories consist the vast part of prose in the Welsh medieval manuscripts, which is not translated from any other language. The eleven stories are the main early manuscript sources of the White book of Rhydderch and also the Red book of Hergest. 

Four branches of Mabinogion are the most mythological tales in the Mabinogion collection.
Rhonabwy is the most literary of the Welsh medieval prose tales, it was also the last one to be written.


In Lady Charlotte Guest complications are 5 totalled tales from the Welsh Legend.

• 
  

There are three romance tales from the collection are Welsh versions of tales that appear in the work of Chretien De Troyes. Theres are doubts whether that the Welsh romances tales are based on Chretien's poems.
