Week Two
Introduction of class, division into groups
Today we were split up into groups, depending on what experience we have within programming, design, sound and organizational skills.
Connie - Has the most experience with programming, including java and actionscript. Therefore, she is kinda the 'programmer' of our group, yet she is still going to be dabbling in design.
Adrian - A media major who does a majority amount of his work with Photoshop, Illustrator and film along with some expertise in sound.
Anna - Another media major who primarily does work with photograpy.
Krystle - A media major with emphasis in computing, i.e. web design, digital media, etc. I am the person responsible for maintaining this blog, publishing our stuff to the web, administrative duties and along with Adrian, Anna and Connie, producing a project.
We had several ideas for what we could do for our project. Adrian started us off with perhaps composing a network that could be used, in conjunction with Facebook, to create a map of books that students could purchase off one another for their UCSD classes. The pros of doing this would that it would be something relevant for students on UCSD - everyone that I know borrows or buys their books off of friends or friends of friends that have take the classes a prior quarter. A concept we had for how we could put this together was creating a map of the campus (and a possible extension to about a mile off campus) and showing where these people were, what books were available, etc. It would be the UCSD/Facebook network. Problems that we faced were that we know that people would probably not feel comfortable putting so much information online. Also, this idea ended up being already taken and we felt, therefore, that it would be redundant to do it again without significantly improving on it.
Anna then had the idea of perhaps mapping Hollywood - taking pictures of the Hollywood walk of fame and creating an interactive tour of the area. The problem was that we felt like it needed more. So then we branched into perhaps including more streets in L.A. or maybe including freeways.
In this first class, we could not get a hold of a theme, so we decided to set goals for ourselves by the next class:
- Buy a book that incorporates learning DirectorMX with Lingo.
- Attempt to buy/get a hold of Director for our personal computers. This would save us time when later trying to work on the project together because we would not be forced to come to school at odd hours of the day.
- Play with director or start looking at projects/tutorials online that use director.
