Evaluation

Throughout this project I have learnt about all kinds of things, from accessability to usability.
For my pitch I put forward my idea for this interactive app. And there were some good points and bad points, however there were points raised that I did not necessarily think about, which I should have done. One of these points was colour blindness, for my interactivity I had used highlighted text with red and orange, and for someone who is colour blind they would not be able to this, therefore I had to come up with a new way of having my interactivity and making it in keeping with the rest of the app, and as someone suggested in the 'Crit' session, I therefore placed buttons along each side of the paragraphs, where the user could then click on them to reveal what the interactivity was for each section.
I feel that for this project I could have managed my time a bit better, especially in the beginning, however, when it got passed the initial stages I then got my act together, and came up with an idea and product that I am proud of. I have even e-mailed Peter James himself with my idea, just to see what he says, however, because he is really busy I have not yet heard from him.
The aesthetics of my piece are well thought of and put together, and my interactivity, even though they are minimalistic, I feel for my target audience will be enough to make them want to read on to then find out more, they will also keep them involved within the story as well, which is the whole idea of this app.
