M1 - Prototype

When creating my actual product I will add in arrows somewhere on the page to allow the user to navigate through the multimedia product more easily.

I have added an adidas logo into the top right corner of the page as well as three lines on the bottom right of the page to advertise the company more on the multimedia product. The three lines in the bottom right of the page also act as a button to proceed to the next page.


I have added some images to this page in order to show some of the clothing products as well as pictures of the company's sponsors and athletes that also promote the brand.


I have add some images to show some of the shoes that the company sells and it also balances the amount of text & images on the pages so that the user isn't reading too much text.

I have added in some text with a hyperlink so that the user can press on the 'adidas SS14' text and it will take them to the company's website so they can find out more about the products that the brand is selling.

I will create an original multimedia product for adidas. The multimedia product will be a digital brochure for the company.

Multimedia
There are numerous multimedia types that could be used depending on who the product is aimed at and where the product will be placed. The multimedia types that can be used are text, images, sound, videos or animation. Each multimedia type is unique in its own way and can be used to reach out to different target audiences. For example, videos can be shown on a TV, text can be shown in a newspaper/magazine and sound can be used on a radio. For my multimedia product, I will use images and text in the brochure as I feel that it will advertise the business better and meet the companies needs.

Business Requirements
The organisation will need to know who the target audience is in order to make the product suitable for their audience and it makes it appeal towards them. They can make the product appeal towards the audience by deciding upon a platform and purpose of the product. For example, if the product is made to give information to the target audience it may be suitable to use a text multimedia product as the organisation will be able to fit in more information. For my multimedia product, I will aim it towards the target audience which will be young adults and sporty people.

Business Objectives
The organisation will need to lay out objectives to aim towards when creating their multimedia product. These objectives will help the organisation decide what type of multimedia they will use to reach out to their organisation. For example, if the business objective is to promote & advertise the organisation then they may decide to use a webpage or a poster. For my multimedia product, I will try to promote the company by making it appeal to the target audience and advertising it well.

Audience
The organisation will need to decide who their ideal target audience is as it will help them create a product that is appealing and tailored to the audience’s needs and desires. They can do this by creating an ideal audience profile with age, gender, culture, race, class, business & interests being taken into consideration. For example, if the organisation is aiming to have their target audience as middle aged men then they will adapt their multimedia product to appeal to the target audience. For my multimedia product, I will try to have the ideal audience profile as a working/middle class young adult male who is interested in sport and fitness because it fits with the company's business objectives.

The database that I have created was designed for the Kingswood Film Club and it will be used to keep track of members, films, reviews and payments. The aim of the database was that it should be easy to use and it should store all of the information without problems.

The database was made in Microsoft Access as it allowed me to create multiple tables in one database and link them together which made the database work and store all of the information that was placed into it.

There were many features that were implemented in order to make the table unique and one of these features was the age check. The age check allowed to database to decide whether to allow a person to register for the film club and deny access to the person if they were under the age of 15. This was made by adding in a formula that would make the table recognize the D.O.B(DD/MM/YY) of the person registering for the film club. Another feature was the username generator that allowed the table to generate a username for the users as they registered by using their details in the username.

If I were to improve upon the database I would change the appearance of the database to make it look more professional and easier to use as it looks too cheap and unprofessional in its current state.

I think that the current database is easy to use and has all the basic functions needed to work properly and it can store all of the information into each of the tables without any big problems so there is no need to change the database if it continues to work fine.
