1. LECTURE

Week 1 - Week 8

Mr Razif did a brief on the MIB, we have 3 projects to work on. 

Senior blog reference: Joe Piyaphon

Project 1 (App for a business)
Wireframe: determining the content (what needs to be there), separate design and wireframe
Detailed wireframe e.g. image icon in the box etc

E-commerce
Example: restaurant, online shop, clothes store
Requirements: 
buy, payment
pop ups in a page to give more confirmation (complete experience)
order status

Ideas, flowchart, wireframe

Using Adobe Animate to make app animations:
Move / fade: Create classic tween 
Fade in or out: alpha value 0%, 100%
Nested animation (animation in movie clip)
Ease in, ease out for better transition effects

Use scripting for buttons, 
stop the animation from looping / continuing: this.stop
buttons navigate to 
somewhere in the nested animation: this.gotoAndPlay
outside the nested animation: exportRoot.gotoAndPlay

To open script (actions)

this.stop to stop animation

this.gotoAndPlay (button)

exportRoot.gotoAndPlay (button)



2. INSTRUCTIONS



Project 1

Ideas

  • Florist
  • Gadget 
  • Tealive / drinks
  • Music shop (instruments & accessories)
  • Zero waste store
  • Random YouTuber merch store
I had some questions as well (picture below). My options were between florist and music store. I consulted Mr Razif, and decided to go for music store.
Options and questions

Florist

Music shop


Initially I wanted to go for the app design for instrument store (Swee Lee), but it was too complicated, so I chose to focus on music instruments only, specifically Yamaha's brand. So the app is for Yamaha Musical Instruments.


Yamaha Musical Instruments

References

These are several references for the app design. I wanted to go for a clean minimalistic design, to represent Yamaha's professionalism.

Moodboard
Color palette
Yamaha musical instruments color is purple, so the primary color is purple. While the secondary colors are different shades of grey and white.

Typeface
The typefaces are the same from the website, to ensure consistency.
The primary typeface is Oswald, while the secondary typeface is Helvetica.

Wireframe
The wireframe is just a rough idea of what the app will look like, so it will have constant changes and improvements up till the actual app design is completed in Adobe Animate.

Along the way, when doing in Adobe Animate, there will be slight changes in the design.

3. FEEDBACK

Week 6
First submission: 
  • The animation is quite normal, can be more dynamic to increase interactivity. 
  • To resolve the buttons issue, use this.mc_bla.btn_home.on from the outer page, not the nested layer.
  • Finish the remaining pages
Week 9
Final submission week
The animation is dynamic and interactive, but it must not be too long and waste the viewer's time. Others is all good.
