This week I started compiling the pages in InDesign and created functional buttons, I bumped into a few problems but I managed to fix it in the end with some help from my classmates. Here are some screenshots of the result in inDesign. I incorporated all the button functions and slideshows in inDesign. After adding the functions, I tested everything on an iPad and there were no errors, and I handed my files to Casey in order for her to compile our magazine.

On this week, we have finalized our prototypes and have compiled them together. We couldn't dive right into InDesign right away because we were having some issues with the software and hence a slight hiatus this week. On this week, we consulted Mr. Razif with our compiled prototypes. Here are the images. After receiving countless feedbacks on the traditional dessert pages, I decided to redo the prototype with another concept, instead of the sticky notes style like the previous one. Here are the images of the new prototype for traditional desserts.
This week, Angelica finished her prototypes and I made some changes to mine as well after receiving some feedbacks from Mr. Razif.
Here are the images. Our initial prototypes were done by this week, before any changes happened. Here is the task division : Cover : Angelica Content : Angelica Article #1 (Places R&R) ; Yasmin Article #2 (Traditional): Qhalim Article #3 (Top3 & Quiz) : Casey Editorial : Angelica BackCover : Casey And here is my part. Casey's part. After receiving some feedbacks, Casey did some changes to her prototypes.
This week, we booked the photolab in the campus and shot our cover page footage and so on. Here are the thumbnails of the shots that we have done. The shooting took about 2 hours to complete. After the shooting is done, we divided tasks among the group to further research on about the articles. The task are divided as below. I have summarised the reviews we got from all 3 cafes. Below is my result.
This week we decided to visit all 3 of the chosen cafes. We visited the cafes in these order : Bowery Petit, Aboong and Snowflake. Firstly we visited Bowery Petit in the morning, we ordered a Rainbow Bagel, Keylime Pie, and a Whoopie Pie. Before our desserts came, we took some pictures of the inside of the cafe and we took pictures of the desserts afterwards. We briefly wrote down our reviews on the desserts before heading to the next cafe. Next, we visited Aboong and Snowflake and did the same thing. We ordered the Original Flavour (Best Seller) and the Chocolate waffle flavour. We ordered the Best Seller and also Uji'Ryo Supreme from Snowflake. We have further discussed and have finalized on 3 place to visit for the R&R (Reviews & Recommendation) article section. We have decided to merge both "Popular Places" and "Unique Places" together, and we will be using the wireframe for popular places for the R&R. The 3 places are : Aboong Cafe which is located in SS15, Bowery Petit which is in KL, and finally Okonomi that is located in Publika. This section of article will feature a 360 degree photo of the cafe's interior, images of several desserts from the cafe, google map location, reviews and other informations. We have also discussed about the Traditional desserts article, and have finally decided on 2 desserts for the article. The chosen desserts are Mooncake and Rava Ladoo. We will be featuring images of the dessert, the dessert's backstories, recipes, and the list of ingredients. For the next article, we will be featuring a Top 3 dessert of the month and a quiz. We made a poll to survey among teenagers what their favourite dessert is, and here are the results. We have also came up with the quiz questions. Below are the questions and the answers of the quiz.
Which Dessert matches your personality the most? Results:
Questions: 1. If you are in a zombie apocalypse, which would you bring together with you?
2. What activity would you choose if you have a free weekend with nothing to do?
3. If you planned an outing with all your friends, but none of them show up, what would you do?
4. You just broke up with your significant other, what do you do to get over it?
5. If you had any superpower, what would you want?
We received many feedback from Mr. Razif after a consultation and here is the feedback he gave. We have discussed a short while after the consultation session, and we have came up with several ideas to give our e-magazine a more interesting touch such as featuring a 360 degree panoramic photo and linking websites and maps for the users' convenience. We have also came up with an idea of featuring a quiz in our magazine to replace one of the main topic articles. After discussing the details within the extra article, and some touch ups, we all separated our jobs to make the wireframes and slides of each page on our own at home. The slides were made by each of us in the team. For the cover design Wireframes, Qhalim did them. I did the wireframes for the #1 Places article. Angel did the wireframes for the #2 Traditional Desserts article. Yasmin did the wireframes for the #3 Quiz article. Here are the slides for our presentation. After we have finished the presentation on our proposal, we have received a couple of feedback, which are :
As we didn't have enough time to discuss further about the magazine's layout, we decided to give ourselves a task which is to sketch at least 4 layout/wireframe of our own ideas for the magazine before the next meet up. After meeting up to further discuss about the design and layout of the magazine, each of us have prepared our minimum of 4 sketches regarding the layout and design of how we want the magazine to be. Sketches will be shown in the gallery below. After reviewing every single one of them, we have decided to mix and match the elements from all the sketches that we like and we feel that are suitable for the magazine. We have settled with the original cover page concept, with the animated close up shot of a dessert being decorated, and the titles are then animated in a sticky note style and slides into the cover page. We think that the sticky note style would give it an extra nice touch for the colours of the cover page as it attracts the audiences. We decided to make our table of content page a follow up of the cover page in animation, as the user swipe left, the cover page as well as the dessert moves to the left side, and instead of the dessert being decorated, the dessert will be eaten (a spoon scooping a small part away) and the titles would also be animated in a sticky note style on the right hand side. Both of the cover page and the table of content are from my sketches as shown as below. The rough sketch of both of the pages are done by Casey as shown below of the 2 images. After the cover page and the table of content page, we decided to select Casey's sticky note style for the Easy Recipe to Make at Home. While the Chef's recipe would be Qhalim's first concept mixed with Angelica's layout sketch. As for the Recommendation and Review of Cafes, we chose to use Angelica's fifth idea mixed with Casey's flatlay idea (which is idea #3). For the Vegan and Healthy dessert content, we chose the top part of Qhalim's third idea with some tweaks. And finally for the traditional dessert, we chose Casey's fifth and sixth idea combined together. The rough sketch of the layout will be shown below. Few images below are some of our references and inspirations.
