During week one we did three things we made an e-book, an app and a Starbucks cup design we did this to demonstrate the different ways of making interactive media products.
Starbucks Cup Design
With the Starbucks cup design we had a template to work with that we used Photoshop to edit and create our own design. When we had finished the design we used an app called quiver that put the cup design into a 3d model using the camera of the device we were using. I thought that it was a great way of using interactive media as you could have made any style of cup you wanted as long as it fit into the template. The bad thing about this is that it would be difficult to do by yourself as it requires an app with pre-installed models for the templates
The App
With the app we used a website called appy pie which allowed us to make a simple app about anything we wanted. I made my app based around my college work. So I had it include one of my videos that I had made, all of my blogs, some of my college information. I also put in my leaflet I did for one of my projects as a PDF and I also added a pool and a small quiz. I found this as a good form of interactive media but i think the app making was a bit limited. I probably wouldn’t use this for my interactive media product.
