Week 5 Lab - Assignment 1 Production Project A
Week 5’s lab consisted of us starting and working on our first assignment. I started with option 1, however, i found it a bit too theoretical and found that doing something more practical and “artsy” was more of an interst to me. So i have chosen to go with option 2 - online exhibition. My theme is going to be “wrestling” mainly WWE because it is of great interest to me.
During the lab i focussed mainly on option 1 and figuring out how i would go about researching and presenting such a project. I planned to use the auction website “Ebay” as my example and “Craigslist” or “Oztion” as my comparison. I felt i needed to use another Auction website due to the fact that many of “Ebay’s” sales are made via auction even though a “buy it now” option is availabe. And by comparing it to a different website such as “Amazon i wouldn’t be able to make a just comparison and critical analysis of Ebay due to the differences in sales options.
I also researched some information flows and began to create a basic flow chart of “ebay’s” information flow and user accesibility. This is as far as i got as i decided to change to option 2 - reasons why are stated above.
