week 13

12/01

Showed everybody a little trick on Mac that could invert the colour of the screen. Daryl approached us and ask us to write an article about our learning experiences in IHPC. Had a discussion with hock on different way to have more than 1 brush image on the canvas. Tried to do dragging image out from the palette but failed.

13/01

Continued with dragging image out of palette but the laser position does not match with the image coord. Kevin evaluated the application. He suggested that we should change the UI of the whiteboard as it seems to take up too much space.  Did some re-planning for the design.

14/01

Design a new palette and brush. The design focus more on simple and easy.

15/01

Make some changes to the brush design as the edges seems pixelated and jagged. Worked on multi-user function with you hock while Ryan and Wilson worked on sliding out of the palette. 

Did  the dragging image out from the palette when there are no pen but failed.

16/01

Helped Kevin to create some images for his papers. As we are required to write an article for IHPC's newsletter, Wilson and I did some discussion on the format of article and what are we going to write.

Continue with the dragging and creating new images when there are no pen on screen and this time round I was able to do it. 

Reflection:

Did alot of design works this week and it had enhance my understandings on the various tools available in Photoshop. Understand that User Interface in an application can be very important because user looks at how things look like before they decide to try or use the application. If an application has a lousy interface, user will tend to have a mindset that the application is lousy. However, if the application has a nice interface, user will then try the application before giving any comments.
