Session 8 - individual task 2 - Kevin Cheng DSO Kids -  https://www.mydso.com/dso-kids/learn-and-listen/instruments Content quality  - For kids learning the instruments, there is ample details with a picture, description, its family as well as an audio file of the instrument's sound. Feedback and adaptation - There is a lack of feedback since this is a website with one-way communication only. There is a feedback section within the website, but we can imagine that the channel will be slow moving, where adaptation will be very sluggish and takes a long time to implement. Motivation - There is good motivation, since the learning includes activities where kids can have hands-on activities to further enrich their learning. Presentation design - There is a neat visual presentation with bright but not overwhelming colors to attract viewers. Auditory information is also present to enhance learning. Interaction usability  - The navigation of the website is generally simpl...

Session 7 - individual task 4 - Kevin Cheng

Session 7 - individual task 4 - Kevin Cheng Uses a warm color (blue) and round shapes to induce positive emotions and facilitate learners' emotion. The use of messages such as "The best master's degrees" to invoke an instinctive feeling of positivity. The use of "most affordable" phrase is to make people feel that they have obtained a bargain

Session 7 - individual task 3 - Kevin Cheng

Session 7 - individual task 3 - Kevin Cheng The poster on the left presents an aesthetically pleasing face which will be more effective through their sensual appeal. As people wants to look like the beautiful model, they will link the use of this lipstick to a step in becoming beautiful. The two posters were used because putting all information into one would cause information overload. As such, two posters were used where the one on the left is used to attract people's attention through the vibrant model's face, while the one on the right provides more information for attracted consumers to find further information on how to obtain it.

session 7- task 4

This one contains many softwares and apps to engage people into this program. After seeing this poster, people can think how they use these multimedia softwares to improve their learning. Also, this design gives people a sense of technology because we are in 21st century. We can use more effective way to learn. And technology connects everyone together closely.

Session 7 task 4

Session 7 individual task 4

The AI shows an emotion status which tells people who are think of being an IT expert can come to look for our program. Also, it shows that expert can also seek for HKU MITE's help to become more professional. The orange picture shows that our program would use different high-tech channel to teach students.

Session 7 individual task 3

1) What are the design features? - (Left hand side) Emotion state: the woman who uses lipstick has smiley face. It just told consumers that using the same lipstick will have good, happy and confident appearance like her.  - (Right hand side) Signaling Principle: using words to attract consumers' attention. The dark background colour highlights the colour of lipsticks, so as to create a "light up" effect. 2) Why two posters? - Left hand side is to fit successful career women, to attract them to use it when they are working. - Right hand side is to fit for those women who are dating with others, to attract them to use in leisure time when they hang out with others.

session 7 -task 3

design features: Using a picture of a mature lady who rouging the lip to attract people's attention, which makes people accept their products. It will enhance people's emotional acceptance to this product. When you use this, you can become more attracting like this lady on the poster. The other poster shows their product only. It focuses more on the products' feature itself as an introduction for this products with less emotional intake. Why two posters? One for attracting people and grabbing their eyes to make more people know this products; another for making more people know more about the products's features and functions.

session 7 task 3

Even the two posters are talking about the same messages - the new lipstick's products, but they are related and not redundancy because their foci are different. The left one can attract people with a model and some positive to engage people to buy the products, while the products' information only is shown at the right corner. The model in left one wants to show how beautiful ladies are if they use the new products, which can attract people. After getting people's attention, the right poster's focus is to show more detailed information about the lipsticks.

Session 7 - individual task 1 - Kevin Cheng

Session 7 - individual task 1 - Kevin Cheng Don't like Edmodo I don't really like using this website because it is overloaded with unnecessary information (invite your parents part), and the files in which the teachers upload to the class is often obscured and in difficult to find places. Dropbox The application is very good to use, but the website design is of a sub-par quality. The files cannot be dragged and dropped easily to other folders, and the clicking mechanic is also frustrating with many miss-clicks. Overall the control to the website is quite clumsy. Like Google Drive Unlike Dropbox, the website design of google drive is very good. The quick access toolbar allows easy access to recent files, while the drag and drop function is also very fluid. YouTube The website design is clean and neat, with easily accessible history and playlists.

session 7- task 2

Do you have any more suggestions? I think if this design can use more animated design to show the idea like this will be more clear. This one shows the ideas very clear, and use of the picture of smile and the explanation makes everyone coming from different countries understand immediately.

session 7 task 2

suggestion: 1.Maybe the company put cushions on the seat to let customs feel more comfortable. 2.Color change: Green and blue color give people relaxing and safe emotion.

Session 7 individual task 2

I think MTR can change the colour into yellow, because the emoji should be in yellow colour. Besides, I think Hong Kong can take Japan (specialized carriage for women) as a reference to set up a specialized carriage for those who are in need. And can colour inner- and outer- carriage in yellow.

Re-uploaded my session 6 presentation script

Selection of Narrative Format https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxInWagSaA0 Here's comes to the part of selection of narrative format. Sorry that one of our groupmate, Mindy , is going to attend wedding dinner tonight, so I will represent her to present her part. Selection of narrative format includes three parts which are informational, personal and dramatic narrative presentation format. For informational format, it is used when the designer is creating instruction that deals with factual material that will be processed by the listener. Information will be presented in a "new-like" style. For personal format, it is made to actively involve the listener in the material provided in the audio presentation. Information will be presented in a conversationa; tone and the listener is acknowledged frequently. For dramatic format, it is well suited to help students grasp the passion of Romeo and Juliet's work. I will show you the example of person...

session 7 task 1

Share two websites that you don’t like and two that you like to use (please explain why) like:  1. https://www.bilibili.com/video/ent.html    This website has various kinds of video for customs to find what they want. Also, the website design is user-friendly and pictures of videos' covers are attracting. 2. https://www.edx.org/ This website offers lots of top universities' courses for learners to choose. The categories of courses and universities can be easily found. Besides, the picture of the homepage (girl's smile face) can let learners feel that study is an interesting thing. dislike: www.baidu.com It always shows me some advertisement when I search information, which will distract me.

session 7 task1

Here are two websites I like and dislike https://www.bilibili.com I like this website because its design is quite lovely and practical. In this website, I can find videoes I want to watch because it has a clear classification for audiences to find the videoes they want to watch. And in this website, audiences can communicate with each other in the comment area. Also, this website update videoes very often, and some people even upload interesting videoes from youtube. And in some special festivals, like New Years Day, this designer of this website make special live for audiences. The designer will invite famous ups to their lives. http://kissanime.ru I dislike this website mainly because of its disordered design, which makes it unpractical. The designer of this website also does not divide videoes into different classes for people to search conveniently. What's worse, there are many needless ads on this website. When I click the video to watch, it will check whether I am a r...
