More in depth discussion!

Today we have another discussion session. We specify deeper into the content so that our objectives and target are more clear and also o verify on what we wanted to do. So here:

                                               

So this is our cover page idea, where we design the pedal board as the main image of the content page. From what we discussed, we planned to put each pedal containing different section of the magazine. So how it looks like is that, the middle part of the pedal is the main topic in a section. From the buttons above, audience can swipe through it to go to the other topics. As for the color scheme, we discussed and decided to put the colors of hipster, which are faded colors.

Hipster color.

Feedback from Mr. Razif: Should make the same topics to be unseen as viewers would prefer to view all the content instead of one by one. Probably can keep the pedal board design but maybe added only the highlighted topics only. As for the general topics, maybe that could be added below in a plain design instead, just like the typical contents page.

The next section (introducing section), like we mentioned in the previous post, we are doing on a parallax scrolling theme, which mean one page scrolling. For the first anchor, we are doing a fold in magazine. In a fold in magazine, it has two different visuals telling different thing but it can be seen in a page. It can be refer to: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/03/28/arts/20080330_FOLD_IN_FEATURE.html?_r=1& . 

We will start on the shorter version -where we will put the original idea (the vector image of the featured artist) then when opened it will be the biography of him/her.

As we scroll down, we will have an anchor showing the artist's gear and instruments. There would be a tab for different categories and each will shown only two of the item. This, the audience can swipe horizontally to view more of the gear. After that, a video is shown if it is swipe down.

Mr. Razif's feedback: Maybe have an alternative if the fold in is unable to be produced using the software that we learned. Also, have the video that is shown be more interrelated to the gear/instrument showns. This is because some people is interested in certain things, that's why they even bother reading it.

Solution:

Amir thought that maybe an introduction of the gear/instrument will have it's own video where the reader can scroll if interested. If not, they can just scroll towards another and view the other's video instead.
