Assessment 2: Idea Process

Who:

The people that i would recommend or preferably want to access my website is people who care for the ocean wildlife. Most likely from teens from ages 16 – 19 attending high school, as well as adults from the ages of 25-40 years of age who care for our oceans wildlife.

What:

The project will be based on the idea of whaling and specific areas around different oceans around the world and the countries who are committing this illegal act. It will be an information site on several issues involving which amount of species that are being targeted and why they are being targeted.

Where:

The ideal locations/areas where i’d like user’s to access this website is high schools where it can be informed by the teacher to notify students if they have access to a device whether it’s a tablet, mobile phone or computer where they are able to visit the website.

Why:

The website is to discuss the issue of whaling and the illegal act of it. In the nearby future certain species of whales will be extinct without the public knowing, so the issue needs to be addressed in schools relating to subjects like geography to inform teachers to provide this informational website to address the matter of whaling and it’s negative impacts and how the younger generation can make a change to reverse this issue.

10 ideas for Outcome:

1. interactive buttons to hover on which presents different information
2. Infographic design of the amount of whaling occurring in certain areas (graph)
3. Slideshow/video of the infographics of where the whaling is happening
4. Infographic of a boat with a harpoon, allowing the user to interact with by clicking a button where the animation of the harpoon striking the different whale species
5. Images of different whales being targeted with a statistic or approximated number when clicking on each of the several whales.
6. Interesting facts besides the whales when hovering over the interactive design.
7. Providing a section of a page where you can get involved helping this issue.
8. Using a intriguing colour palette of the ocean to make it feel realistic
9. Add moving features around the website to make it look like a real ocean (e.g. crashing/moving waves, fish swimming around, swaying seaweed, etc.)
10. A interactive map having clickable features to show where the whaling is occurring the most.

Classmates favourite 3 ideas:

1. A interactive map having clickable features to show where the whaling is occurring the most
   • Why: One of my peers chose this idea because it allows the user to have a some sort of interactivity when accessing the website especially when it’s targeted at high school students.
2. Add moving features around the website to make it look like a real ocean (e.g. crashing/moving waves, fish swimming around, swaying seaweed, etc.)
   • Why: This idea was chosen by the fact that it brings some sort of virtual realistic experience with moveable features which can be intriguing to some high school students if they have interest in our oceans.
3. Infographic design of the amount of whaling occurring in certain areas (graph)
   • Why: One of my peers felt like this was important to have in the outcome of my idea because it gives an indication of the amount of whaling happening in different locations which can change the viewers perspective on the idea of whaling and feeling a sense of empathy for these whales.
