admin — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:22:02 +0000

The New Media Award is an annual scholarship competition aimed at secondary school students and working professional. The event itself are often tie-up with animated blockbuster to market itself among the youths. This project is aimed to provide resource and relevant information to the competition, which would ultimately lead the user to participate and win.

It is utmost important to keep usability in mind, which would help keeping the traffic of the website healthy and user engaged. However I took on the challenge beyond good usability, which experimented with the limitation of the web, and to provide a cinematic browsing experience, despite limitation such as internet bandwidth and user’s computer requirement at that time.

An interactive installation that was exhibited in The One Gallery, The One Academy of Communication Design, Malaysia for a duration of 1 month. This interactive work is a photo-booth, which will be activated by voice from the user. It is a design experiment looking into possibilities of a no-keyboard no-mouse user interface. The project was a success, garnering more than 1000 pictures of the period of 4 weeks.

The installation’s images is then processed and put online after the exhibition, allowing the user to participate in discussion as well as viewing their creation.

Prior to Creative Media Award, it is known as New Media Award, an annual scholarship competition. Time time around, I was the acting Project Lead responsible from the front-end development, back-end development and as well quality assurance of the end result. A lot of thought and planning are poured into this project, from how the website should look and function.

A lot of details are carefully crated, such as improving user experience in understanding the competition visually, as well as navigation experience for the entire website. An animated sequence on how to use the website is also created.
