OB: Create a TitleOur first objective was to

create a title or name for this project.

We came up with the name ‘Be Yourself’, we came up with this name because we wanted a name that is short, easy to remember and catchy but we also wanted it to relate to our aim of this project which is helping girls gain confidence.

According to most of the audience/customers I interviewed, they said that this title is catchy and also reflects and relates to the aim of the project.

OB: Create a LogoOur second objective was to create

a logo for our project that people will remember when they see the logo.

We wanted a logo that was simple but eye catching so we used very bright yet eye catching colors as the main color scheme of this logo. I also added the title of the project as part of the logo because the logo is suppose to represent the whole entire project.

After interviewing 4-5 of our customers/audience, most of them said that the title of the project in the logo was too small and it should be bolder. But overall many of our customers said that the logo is eye catching and girly (it relates to our theme of the project).

OB: Create a Chinese version and an English version

Our third objective was to create a Chinese version and English version of the app so that not only will people who can read English benefit from it but also people in Hong Kong that cannot read English as well as others.

Due to the amount of time we had, we couldn’t create the Chinese version of the app. Due to the fact that we spent most of our time researching and making videos, we didn’t have time to translate the English app into a Chinese app.

To make the Chinese version of the app possible, I think we should have managed our time better with not everybody working on the English app but some people in the group could have worked on creating the Chinese app at the same time.

OB: Make it colorful and appealing to the audience

Our forth objective was to create a colorful and appealing app to make the experience more interesting and to make the app more fun to use.

Our color scheme of this app was to use a pink color palette because the main audience of this project is teenage girls. We wanted the font to look like handwriting but at the same time also readable so we used ‘Jenne Sue’. We also added videos so that the app wouldn’t be too boring to use.

After interviewing some of our audience, most of them said that the videos made the app more interesting and the font made the whole app appear ‘girlyer’.

OB: Add different forms of Media

Our fifth objective was too add different media to enhance the experience of using the app.

We added videos that we filmed and edited. There are videos on fitness and beauty. We also added fashion Photoshop collages to add color and pictures to the app.

After interviewing some of our audience, most of them said the the videos and collages helps to make the app more interesting. One area we can improve on is the quality and sound of the videos can be improved.

OB: Add advice which is easy to do and effective

Our sixth objective is to add advices that are easy to do and effective.

We wanted simple advices that would be easy to do but also effective so that our audience and customers can easily benefit from using our app for a short amount of time.

I don’t think we added enough simple and effective advices, we only added a very small amount in the videos. I think that we could add a simple slide for only simple advices.

OB: Make a free iPad/iPhone app

Our seventh objective is to create an iPad or iPhone app. We used iSpring to create a flash based app that can be opened on iPads and iPhones.

We started with a simple PowerPoint with embedded videos, iSpring changes the PowerPoint into a flashed based ‘presentation’ that can be played on iPads and iPhones.

OB: Teach some easy stretching moves and dancing routines to help teens find interest

Our eighth objective is to add some fitness routines to help our audience become fit. We chose to do stretching moves and simple ballet dance routines because we thought it would be the easiest for beginners.

We made videos to teach our audience easy stretching moves and dance routines. We made on video for stretching and one video for dance. We then edited it and embedded it on the PowerPoint.

After interviewing some of our audience, most of them said that the quality of the video and the sound could be improved but the overall concept is very good.

OB: Add tips and advises for keeping healthy and fit

Our ninth objective was to add tips and advises for keeping healthy and fit. We used videos to tell our audience different tips.

In each of our videos we added different tips for this area. We included stretching moves, dancing routines, ways to increase your flexibility and how to make healthy but good food.

According to most of our audience, they said that we could add more tips on healthy food/eating because as of right now we only have one slide on food and healthy eating.

OB: Post makeup videosOur tenth objective was to add

makeup videos because makeup can help enhance a girl’s inner beauty and helps a girl gain confidence.

We filmed basic everyday makeup videos and edited them but cutting the videos and added music and voice over to explain the steps. In the makeup videos we added simple makeup tips for beginners.

Most of our audience said that the makeup videos are good, but the quality can be improved and the voiceover can be clearer. But the overall video and the content is good.

OB: Add quotes to inspire visitors

Our eleventh objective is to add quotes to inspire and motivate our audience or customers. Quotes are simple but effective at the same time.

We added a quote at the end of the whole PowerPoint. The quote can motivate our audience to gain confidence and to show their inner beauty.

We only added one quote at the end of the app, I think that we should add more quotes throughout the app to keep a constant motivation to our audience.

OB: Add background music to entertain visitors

Our last objective is to add background music to our app. We wanted an app that was not boring to look at but entertaining.

We were going to add music to the app at the end but after adding the videos, we thought there was no point because more than half of our video slides had a video so the music had to stop and play over and over again.
