Just like Friday I worked on layout-ing our to be created website. Last Friday I mainly worked on the logistics and organization of the website, like the number of pages, the content on each of the pages, the different links each page contains, etc. However today, I worked on mapping out the actual design and aesthetic look of the website. During the weekend I had different ideas of what the website should look like, in terms of different design elements, placing, etc. and drew out rough sketches of what each would look like. At the end of the weekend I chose which one would be best suited for our project and today I drew it out in more detail. Below is the sketch of our website that I drew out:
Below is a rough outline of one of the more interesting elements that we will incorporate in the website. For our Animals/Plants informational section, I planned to make it out to look like a book, where the left hand page will be a glossary of species while the right hand page will have information about the specific animal/plant the view chose.
One of the other things that I did today was help out my other group member start revising our proposal. 2. Briefly describe what your TEAMMATE(S) accomplished today:
Like Friday's worktime, we once again went our separate ways into independent study, but every so often we checked up on each other's work. Today, Emily began to edit and revise our proposal by adding information about which videos she plans to put into our website. Her main point of research today was to look more into the chemistry component of our project and she was quite successful in her findings. After talking with Andrew, Emily was able to get a better idea of what type of environmental chemistry we want to go into. We are going to go into the chemistry of soil, and an interesting fact that Emily found was the filtering-power of soil.Chelsea continued a lot of her work that she started on Friday, which was modifying our model stormwater wetland, looking up professional contacts, and deciding which articles to put unto our website. Today she discovered a good way to change our wetland design by incorporating an actual filter into the model.
3. Briefly describe how you and your partner(s) ASSISTED each other today?
We once again divided the work amongst ourselves by creating a 'To-Do' list for the day, which will become routine for us. Although we somewhat worked independently we relied on each other for information and opinion. For example I asked my group mates their thoughts on the website design, and they critiqued it to help me change different elements. In addition Emily and Chelsea both shared their finding with the rest of the group, along with the different websites that they utilized.
