Session of the practicalities of creating mediascape
03/03/09 05:54 PM
First session with David Smith on practical and technical aspects of Mscape creation
install.net and flash mobile player for ipaq - over write the existing version of mscape with the beta
Look at David Smith’s mediascapes in Victoria Park
Region move to me - Jo Reid - solves the problem with region shift
look at the Experience Design Guidelines
- look at other mscapes - click on the mscape in the library and open in editor to see how it has been built - it is encouraged that new scapes be plagiarised from existing work
images/video - flash - flv. + swf in flash player 7 or earlier
install Adobe mobile flash player
image 320 x 240 @ 72 dpi
pictures with higher contrast work best - black and white works well
test on device central?
under the jumper for contrast
22khz sound samples - mp3 - 96kbs constant bit rate
could be better sound quality, but these settings are the HP recommended and will keep file size down.
Flash - needs to be kept simple
Map downloading service
or use a programme called ‘map aligner’ - keep map to 600 x 600 pixels
boundary walk to set points on map - so this in order (clockwise?)
conditions make a difference - a clear sky makes a difference
all done with right click of the mouse - needs a two button mouse
show map with pins - will show where things are
