Final thoughts, and Rational

After presenting our site today in class, i am proud, and happy with how it all came out. As far as our design rationale went, it turned out completely different. WE first wanted to make an interactive site that the user could click images, and see certain sections of the zoo.

Instead though as a team, we made something that resembled more of a movie. It was still interactive and easy to get around, but we followed the simple, INTRO, HISTORY, OUR STORY,MORE INFO, and CREDITS. Along with the blog, we were able to put together a good story about the volunteers, and wayne at the Roger Williams Park Zoo.

Not only did we benefit by learning the software used, but also got the oppurtunity to go out and actually volunteer for the zoo. This gave us an in depth experience, to actually understand what our story was like. If there was one thing that I would do differently, it would be breaking up the work, and the amount of time we spent one particular sections. Although the errors we had were minor, we still did have to meet with roxanne twice for us to work out the kinks with the technology.

After doing this project, a visual essay, has become much easier to do and understand. I hope to that this can be a great piece for all of our team to not only have learned from, but also to be able to use later on after college is over, and we are in the real world.
