It has gotten to the point now where i am adding brief titles and descriptions to my portfolio. I would like to make some changes to the originals (written about in the blog here). I am also making the conscious decision to show original brief solutions as well as my final work within my portfolio project to show how i have responded to criticism and developed my solutions.
Although not the first project, I am going to insert my solution to the mapping brief first as it is the one that i enjoyed the most and also the one that i feel could really work in the real world. I had considered possibly prioritising the favourite projects within my brief (by making them more noticeable, placing them higher in the page hierarchy) but i decided against it to give the user back the control and allow them to make decisions about where they want to go.
(i have had to mention the appropriate brief title i.e. 'mapping' in this description to make it easier for anyone marking the work to identify it quickly) without having to look up my notes that would be provided on the disc in notepad or. I have decided not to publish my website as I'd like it to be seen only by those looking for it or for people i seek out to share it with.
My working portfolio description is:
Ever wanted to find a safe route home? Whether it be for safety, speed or for the scenery, 'Safe Way Home' provides users with all the information they need to make informed decisions about their route choices.
Aimed at encouraging a healthy lifestyle as well as improving safety and confidence in the vulnerable and less-able, this idea takes user information about their local area and inputs it into a 3D environment to allow users to easily identify trouble spots and avoid them. With three criteria: Lighting, Anti-Social Behaviour, and poor lighting, users will be able to spot these within the 3D environment. Why 3D? Because it allows the users to visualise the space more effectively and even avoid busy roads and seek out scenic routes.
Currently, Safe Way Home is in it's developmental stages and available only for people living in walthamstow, but with funding from the MET or Local Council, users might one day be able to draw directly into a 3D environment, safe routes virtually and contact other members for advice. At the moment, safe way home asks users to download a map, mark it up with symbols and submit it via email for submission to the 3D environment, but hopefully this idea will grow.
'Safe Way Home' is a working solution to my first year CID 'Mapping' brief.
