Finalized idea and Proposal

FINALIZED IDEA

Our topic ‘The Traditional Malay Wedding’ has made our research never ending, to find the most suitable layout and something that would suit our theme. We have finally decided to play around with Henna designs for our layout. We were inspired by Henna designs when we did a research on Henna Art. A combination of flowers with curvy lines and a touch of nature will be added in our Interactive Application. Lots of sketches have been done and here, we attach some of the finalized sketches that we have done so far.

THEME COLOUR

We have done some research on colours and as you can see below, these are the studies of colour combination. The usage of colours are very important in an interactive application, and colours brings out the true significance of what the application is all about. We have browsed through quite a number of wedding websites and it seems that most of them use light colours. And therefore, we have planned to use soft colours, like shades of brown and perhaps a pinch of gold here and there to bring out the majestic atmosphere throughout the application. Soft colours brings out a calm and soothing feeling. And the main reason why we chose this range of colours is because it goes well with the design we have come up with.


These are the range of colours we shall be using in our interactive application

We also have done some research on colors and what kind of colors are best in a special occasion. This is the link for the website that we entered to get some info on colors :http://www.worqx.com/color/combinations.htm

FONT

As for fonts, we will be using simple ones. For the Introduction page, the name of our topic-‘ Sekapur Sirih’ will be in cursive font and the rest of the fonts will be Serif style. We want our application to be be easily read by viewers. These are some example of fonts that we might be using :-




INTERACTIVE LINK

The first and far most important thing in our Interactive Application is of course-the Interactive link. We are going to make our interactivity interesting and user-friendly. First of all, our interactivity has to be visible. There are some interactive application or websites where the interactivity is not visible and therefore, its not easy to navigate. When people browse through our Interactive Application, we want to make sure that people enjoy every bit of it and that is why we want to make it as interesting as possible.

What we’re going to do is :-

1) Put a pair of hands on the stage

2) There will be a scroll-down buttons of Henna Design which users are free to pick whatever design they like with just a click of the mouse.


3) Users can then drag the design to the selected part of the hands, and it will automatically appear on the hands.

4) After putting Henna on the two hands, users can print the design directly from their printers to use as reference to put Henna on their hands using real Henna!



Here is the rough idea of how the interactive link is going to look like for reference:
