MA Technical Communication, 2007

Final day together with part-timers and our tutor Ian.

Concluding Multimedia Communication

This is a reflection of some of the techniques I gained through using various multimedia, some shortcuts and concluding my MulComm module. Also includes ramblings and musings.

Building a Website for a local B&B

So far, I have discussed the legalities involved when producing a website. My only experience of writing in XHTML is simply writing my own CV. Now, I will need to introduce a totally different look, navigation systems and various information.

Flickr

The link to my account is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8193749@N04/

Uploading photos is easy enough but is somehow limited to 6 at a time. Free accounts can only have up to three albums. It is US based so most of the free offers in their site is not relevant to a UK audience. I was first introduced to Flickr by my sis who went to the Philippines on holiday with a friend who then took some amazing photos featuring my brother-in-law, my nephew, my neice and my cousin.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/bsmith4815/sets/72157594387992654/

Friendster- social networking

This was introduced to me by an old school friend from the Philippines who now lives in the US.

YouTube for (HUCID) and video-editing

Human Computer Interaction and Design (HUCID)

This is one of our units. I have created a video using Ulead which is very similar to the MovieMaker we learned about in class. I have published a short taster of the usability session in YouTube.

 

Flash Development- creating a music player

This is not for the faint-hearted. Click only if you really really want to create a music player. Advanced Flash designers welcome. Beginners may falter.
