Degree Project

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FuL2BosGr0&ab_channel=AdobeCreativeCloud I have used a following tutorial to create a scrolling carousel effect. I have selected following tutorial as it was easy to follow and relatively straight to the point. When it comes to the function itself I had some issues at the beginning to make it work however after further understanding of the feature I got hang of it. 

 Today, I have been focusing on the design of the app and starting to put the app together. Which was crucial for the prototype video which would show my current progress with the app. At first I wanted to just include clips which I recorded from the app however after some thought i decided to stitch the clips together and put them in Premiere Pro. In order to make a more sophisticated piece.  

 App designing

 Today, i have focused on gathering information that would be used for the app within the research tab. So far, the i have gathered info about History of Coffee, History of Coffeehouses, Types of roasts and what does the roasting process do to the beans.  In the full app my plan is to include information about types of brewing, coffee traditions etc. As well as to include photos that would make the app more interesting.

 Today i have been looking at what needs to be added to assignment to make it assignment 2. I started to make risk assessments and Gantt charts which I have then inserted into the InDesign file. Furthermore I started to think about my user testing and precisely how it would be carried out. I think due to the current situation it would be best to carry it out online to minimize any potential health risks.  Furthermore, when making risk assessment one of the points I made was regarding the Degree Show and how my app would be disseminated within the show. And the solution that I came up with that was most viable would be to include a QR code on the stand or a display. Which would transfer visitor to the page where she/he can download the app and check it out. This solution is better than having one shareable device due to risk of spreading COVID-19.

 This week I have been focusing on starting to add animations to the app within the Adobe XD environment. Like below

 This week I have been started to import the screens I have made in the Illustrator onto the Adobe XD to test how they would look like.  Also, I found out about the Adobe XD for your phone which allows you to preview how the app you are designing would look like on the phone. Changes that you are making within the app on the computer are changed in real time which means you don't have to hassle around with the file.
