OUR EARLY DESIGN

What gendhengs want for the GUI is a design which is match up with the KLIA transit overall design, but in a way it suppose to be good for children also. So far what we see from KLIA services they put clean, simple, ethnic, and futuristic design. Which is have color scheme mostly in white, purple, and Tosca. Meanwhile, we thinking about our target consumer that will be a child, so our design is have to be cute, eye catching, and understandable. We thinking about soft-vivid and colorful design.

after a long brainstorming about our appearance and GUI, we came out with the simple but smart design that suitable for our application.

This is one of our reference for the GUI. We take this from www.2ddepot.com


in this design there will be a character that played around the stage. this design can be so interactive because the kids can click and choose several stuff to get the information or to go to another stage.
from this reference we came out with some early design


this design was made by Reza.

and this one by Gatya.

nothing extremely different but here I just change the background with brightness color and fix the slanting of the floor. later we will combine both of it.

Both of the design we can see the the changing of color scheme and environment. of course this early design not done yet. later we will make a complete KLIA station environment with all the counter and ticketing machine, and also the navigation panels for control and help button.

and also our early character design

later we will make both boys and girls then animate them so they can moving around the station.

Opps~ Soul-stirring Presentation!


Last Thursday, as usual our Gendheng group had attended Dr. Khoo's class at four o'clock in the afternoon. We were waiting for Dr. Khoo to call upon those groups whom she had asked them to prepare for their presentation on that day. However, those groups came late to the class and caused all of us waited quite long.

When most of the groups were already in the class, Dr. Khoo announced she would like to call upon just two groups to present their ideas of their projects as we were kind of running out of time. Shaji & Ali's group were called foremost. Unexpectedly, she walked towards us later on and asked Reza our Group Leader if we could step forward and present our proposal, we were totally stunned as no preparation was done on the presentation! Oh my goodness... anyway we were actually calm and steady like those big company's PROFESSIONALS though! Hey we knew that's the proper way okay. :p

So Reza, Gatya & I walked in front without any preparation and presented the whole concept of our idea on KLIA Trankids. Though, there were queries from our fellow friends throughout the presentation, in fact we were absolutely glad that they were willing to question us so we could improve on our concept. Our friends actually wondered how could we relate KLIA Trankids with the Malaysian Culture, what is the definition of Culture in our concept, why do we want to change the Malaysian Culture from how it was, how do we apply it to the users and why would the users want to use our application, etc.

Well, the answers were stated clearly in our proposal as so as our Blog. So we just answered all their questions patiently and indeed some debates happened along our explanation. Some think that our idea is not really excellent while the others think it is great. Anyhow we were really happy to know that Dr. Khoo actually likes our concept which exhibits the new idea on Malaysian Culture and which will be beneficial to the nation.

Done. We proudly walked back to our seats.

The lesson started. :)

Yoohoo! So this is the 'enhanced' sketch of ours for the umm... sorta background of our application! A pen & pencil drafted one, and the former is posted below. As you can see, the little board I have drawn on top of the paper is an existing signage in the airport. It is actually "KLIA Transit" haha... and followed by some japanese words plus an errow showing the way people can get themselves to that particular area. I got some references from different websites and finally sketched a KLIA train as the background of the characters. Cute eyes were added on the front of the train because I believe children do "think" that any dead things is sometimes alive as they are gifted with great imaginations! A smiling happy train would surely attract kids' attention and so as the friendly Trankids-guides. The friendly Trankids-guides will be the ones who guide the kids along thier solo-journey, by helping them with anything or everything that they are unsure of. Psychologically the kids will feel a sense of security when they are following them, and you can't predict if the kids will even want to stick together with the friendly guides all the time along the journey! The kids is presumed blur and stucked with many queries in their head while following the Trankids-guides, so the function of the dialogue balloon is to show what their queries are, and then they will be guided step by step with easy explanations til they understand everything. Well you see, cute not? \^o^/
