Designs start

Design Stage;

So it has been two weeks since Guru's day and the work on my application has been slow at best due to a couple of different factors such as dissertation for one thing, and also waiting to hear back from Primary Schools and Councils that I have emailed about conducting a workshop.

Although even with these issues I have managed to make some progress so that I wasn't going into the workshop empty handed.  What I managed to work on is some mock up flow charts on how the application is going to run as well as deciding what I am going to do with the children during the workshop.

Some of the factors I have decided on is that the layout of the story should be basic, but colourful and with mini animations to keep the children interested.  Also since it is a young age group I will be refraining from using difficult medical terms when speaking about the different colourblindnesses such as Protanopia, Deutanopia, Tritanopia and Mono-Chromacy.  These terms maybe a bit too difficult for children to understand so I will just be simplifing it to a sense protanopia will be called Red Colourblindness, Deutanopia will be Green Colourblindness and Mono-Chromacy will be True Colourblindness.  The reason for Mono-Chromacy being called True Colourblindness in this setting is because with Mono-Chromacy you are unable to see any colours at all making you truely colourblind.

For the case of the design I decided it might be fun to let the children design the characters that will be appearing in the story as well as what their job in the story might be.

Also since I do not know what program I will be using to create everything in yet I will also be learning how to code in Xcode and maybe even take a look at adobe edge animate and animate cc, to learn them for when I am ready to finish everything off.
