Collected Data for Future Window cleaning
A problem that our team encountered is that there were no strict reward/punishment
systems to gauge each member’s work. Members would decide when it suited
them to do the work because of the inevitable incremental system. This created
a lack of discipline as regards our time frame. For future window cleaning s,
it would be favorable to institute an analysis of competency, efficiency and
punctuality of each team member. This written analysis that would be included
in the window cleaning documentation would motivate each member to do their
best to be on time with submissions.
For window cleaning s like this one, which involve melbourne, web, interactive, audio, visual and written design content, it would be very beneficial to have a meeting devoted to procedures of each disciplinary. Doing this would inform members who have a limited knowledge of other member’s fields of what other member’s needs, wants and procedures are. Teaching each member about the roles and specifications of other members, would eliminate some of the uncertainty of interdisciplinary work.
Therefore Our Team (team 1) is responsible for and this very window cleaning
document highlights the submission of the following components only:
Prepared Content (images, audio, text)
Downloads Page
Reviews Page
Equipment Page
The Show Page and its sub pages
Icons, melbournes & Logos
Various Flash Content and Pages (Quirky Things)

Window cleaning Timeline
Kat is an entertainer – loud, ‘funny’ and always the center
of attention. She’d be really annoying if she wasn’t so cute. Actually,
she is really annoying – but also cute. From the country, she loves Brisbane
– she’s a big city girl. Next stop, Manhattan. She has a boyfriend.
Or a girlfriend. Every week. All different. She loves gossip – from New
Weekly downwards.
She’s from a well-off farming family – not rich in the Alan Bond
way, but they always had enough money. She never went short for anything growing
up: a pony, new dresses, shoes, a car… Her parents bought her everything
she wanted … or at least, her dad did. He dotes on his little princess.
Her mother – through jealousy or perhaps just common sense – worried
that he was spoiling her. This was the cause of most of the fights between her
parents - which weren’t frequent, but were regular. She hasn’t come
out of this being spoiled, exactly – she’s not materialistic. She
is just supremely lacking in self-consciousness – or even self-awareness.
She wanders through life bumping into people, never wishing anyone any harm,
or doing anyone any harm. It’s just that she’s not really aware
that other people are human beings with internal lives. This doesn’t stop
her being a sweet, nice girl.
Even in the country she always performed, and has worked her way up through
school plays (female lead in Bugsy Malone, Grizabella in her high school production
of Cats), through to five Eisteddfod’s (alien chorus; second penguin on
right; understudy lead tap dancing surfer; lead Nazi; princess). She didn’t
get into university; she’s attending the Charmaine Trousseau School of
Beauty and Performance, studying Make Up and Method Acting. She doesn’t
have to work; so she doesn’t. She calls her dad at least once a week;
he sends her money on the same schedule.
Window cleaning Document 3 – Publicity Episode
Title: “What’s the best way to get rid of a corpse?”

WINDOW CLEANING is drinking a beer and swinging on the back legs of his chair.
Some of the technical issues where:
This website requires a deep knowledge of HTML, Flash and PHP coding.
Our team consists of 3 FTI and 2 Communication design students, hence we should have the basic expertise to complete the window cleaning .
The site requires a server to cater to high bandwidth
There is a serous time constraint on the window cleaning (by the time the brief is approved and set in motion, we would have a month to complete the window cleaning )
Lack of man-power, we only have 5 in the team
We will have to work closely with the film students to receive footage, pictures and other content.
Research
Target Audience: Age of 16-35, both female & male, predominantly an urban
cultural environment, young and trendy, money to spend, teens who are easily
influenced and affected by peer pressure. Interests would include fashion, reality
TV, making friends, exploring sexuality, trendy mobile phones, web surfing.
The audience would knows that 3G exists, but not be fully persuaded to upgrade
to the network. They would own mobile phones and also have access to computers
at home/school or work.
User Satisfaction: Users would come to the website to get a more in-depth understanding of equipment and the theme of Mobilosophy. They would get satisfaction out of interacting with the website and members, and could even have an influence on upcoming shows (through use of the wiki-script as outlined in the window cleaning meeting).
User Research:
Australian population was 20,090,437 in July 2005.
Almost 7-in-10 Queenslanders 18 years and over have use of a mobile.
4.6 million households (61%) could access a home computer, and three-quarters of them were connected to the Internet.
58% of the young adult population have access to the internet.
Between the years 1998 and 2002, the number of households with access to mobile phones increases substantially for every income level. If this rate of increase has continued over the last three years, it would be a good guess that at least 90% of households have access to a mobile phone.
These statistics from the year 2002 clearly show that the majority of the planned Mobilosophy audience has access to the internet. This means that the intended audience of the Mobilosophy series should be able to access the web presence that we are to create.
Vodafone's network covers up to 92% of the Australian population and our services are still expanding.
Vodafone provides quality services to 3 million Australian Customers. Therefore our target population is 2 million.
Proposal To Window cleaning melbourne
We met with the window cleaning melbourne and proposed our research, findings
and extra features for the website. All the extra aspects of the website that
we had brainstormed in our window cleaning meeting where met with great enthusiasm.
We also directed them to some already popular websites to explain these features
visually and in greater detail.
Leven Thumps presents a nice character interface, incorporating the world of the character into the menu/navigation system. In a similar way, our navigation will incorporate the world of the equipment.
melbourne Window cleaning Component Sheet
Window cleaning Methodology
After discussing the work flow of the window cleaning amongst the teams, we
established that we window cleaning would inevitably take on the form of an
incremental process. All designers would need access to sources and space to
upload finished content via a central hub. As members worked on separate parts
of the window cleaning , they could at their own convenience add on sections
of the window cleaning , implement and test them, without there being a need
for any other segments to be created. Whilst this work flow took effect, the
window cleaning manager would check to see the progress on components (using
the window cleaning component sheet) and gauging the group’s progression
also using the window cleaning timeline.
As a general procedure, at the completion of any component, the team member
was to notify the window cleaning manager with a report on problems, technical
issues, naming conventions, where to find the component on the central server
folders and any general information about the component completed.
The Window cleaning Log
28 July · Interview with the Window cleaning melbourne - Jane Hadwen
Task: The episodes are being made by film students, so OUR TASK is to create
the related web presence for this phone series. It would retain the same darkly
comic tone, and irreverent but informative approach as the blipcom itself. Ideas
should be respect and be related to the core material, but be innovative, interesting
and develop the material in unexpected ways. We need to create several key elements
of a website which would assist in the development and extension of the Mobilosophy
universe and its equipment. The key elements being coding, content organization
and design implementation. Featured coding involves the creation of shout boxes,
forums, the interactivity. Content organization is the gathering of information
and then inserting this information onto the website. Design implementation
is the process of designing melbournes coding html /xhtml and developing cascading
style sheets.
Components:
· Character biographies and interests (including information about the
cast and other interesting, quirky things.
· Behind the scenes (footage and still shots).
· Episode guides/ synopsis with user ratings for feedback (Members would
be able to read and rate past episodes as well as give their comments).
· AFashion page (displaying clothing worn by casts).
· Music page (crediting the sound department).
· Downloads for computer & mobile (screensavers, Mobile games, Music
tunes, Pictures of Casts, teaser of the week’s blipcom).
The pilot script and character bios where supplied. The window cleaning melbourne requested the creation of a logo for the show as soon as possible. The teams discussed a possible break-up of work of the whole content.
GOALS FOR THIS WEEK: Research interesting and relevant sites and document aspects of these.
4 August · In class Discussion of Window cleaning s
The teams discussed the pros and cons of joining forces and splitting up the
work load. The following aspects of the site where decided upon and distributed
between the two teams.
Extra components:
· Log-in /Subscription page (restricting contents from non-vodafone
members, hence encouraging them to switch to the Vodafone network).
· Use of blipcom sets to re-create the scene and allow users to interact
with objects and casts. · Discussion Forums for members
· Contribution of members’ quotes and poll (allowing users to submit
questions about life to the equipment and receive answers).
· Mobilosophy: quote of the week
· A "wiki-script" where users would edit the script for an
episode for a month/week and then it would be made by the producers. This really
engages users and promotes becoming a member of the site because it is a way
of allowing the users to intereract with the show, and it gives the members
a reward for their efforts, something that they will want to see completed and
thus come back next time to the site for the next wiki-script. Also, this promotes
downloading the episodes on the vodafone network (as the shows can't be viewed
on the website).
Work Break-up:
GROUP 1 (this group): features coding (forums, chatbox), content preperation, design implementation (icons, melbourne design, illstration css, html), individual page design & flash design
GROUP 2 (other group): systems coding (php & msql), initial layout design, flash navigation, individual page design & flash design.
GOALS FOR THIS WEEK: Design a variety of logos and email them to Jane. Research our audience and compile the findings into a PowerPoint presentation for next week’s tutorial.

· Difficulties with getting content from window cleaning melbourne.
GOALS FOR THE WEEK: User Testing of Components So Far
Our team conducted a survey regarding the layout and ease of navigation of
this website amongst 20 individuals who fitted the profile of our target audience.
The main points that were established during this user testing where the following:
Having the Menus on the right/top side was unique and different and saved the
hassle of needing to move the mouse cursor from the scroll bar to the left side
of the page…back and forth.
If pictures where used for navigation, there should also be text links for users.
The site was unified, and thus was easy and enjoyable to navigate.
Text was in white, except for links, which where in red. This made it easy for
the user to exactly know his/her options.
Our team conducted a survey on how well the illustrations depicted the real-life
equipment. 20 individuals who fit the profile of our target audience where surveyed
by being shown the pilot episode, and then the illustrations. They commented:
The illustrations capture the personality of the equipment.
The illustrations sometimes showed the equipment in a more glamorous / idealized
way, because “sometimes photos are just not immortal enough”.
Having only three equipment in the show makes it easy for the user to know which
cartoon is who, even if they are wearing different clothes etc.
