Proposal for Client Project 10/12/07

The Theme of:
“Ladybird Photography Spotlight Photos”.

The purpose of the client project is to produce a Website and banner on the theme of ”Ladybird Photography Spotlight Photos”.
The name Ladybird Photography identifies with photography and Spotlight Photos is used for Civic Functions, Funerals and other events.
The unique name “Ladybird Photography Spotlight Photos” is used to incorporate all of the Lord of Hastings businesses altogether.

For the Website it will have a Corporate Identity Package is to establish and maintain a corporate identity. It is crucial to the success and professional appearance of a company. The corporate identity package is ideal means to creating a complete theme and style for the business.
Creating a corporate identity is one of the most important stages in building brand awareness.
The logo is important and represents a distinctive attribute and is for the business.

I will design a layout to create complex pages for my Web Site to be both versatile and visually appealing.
I have some new ideas for the new website.

The Purpose of Research

30/11/2007

The purpose of this research project is to investigate how a multimedia-teaching aid can be constructed and used to help support people with Autism.
I will initially research into the background of Autism and will investigate which is the most appropriate learning and thinking style to establish what methods are most likely to work with children with autism, who generally relate best to visual material, movement, colour and multimedia content as opposed to language based verbal material.I will also research and evaluate existing multimedia learning packages.

Personal Research Conclusion

30/11/2007

I have summarised and evaluated all the different individual elements within the research and come to conclusion that all the different concepts work better together and suggest that the way forward is to produce an educational video.

Comparing and contrasting all the different learning styles has differentiated the most appropriate, reliable source to accommodate the children with Autism.
The literature suggests that Origami is an appropriate activity for teaching important skills to children. The cognitive style that Origami encourages are appropriate to the needs of Autistic people. Origami introduces important mathematical concepts and the art of folding involves sequence, much repetition, drill and practice, which is the type of activity those with Autism relate to. Using Origami as the platform can provide opportunities for developing attention, concentration, memory skills in the individual and encourage interaction and building relationships with peers. and
It appears that the methods most likely to suit their learning and thinking style and to encourage social interaction, social communication, co-ordination and imagination are mainly visual approaches. As well as being visually based, Origami is very ‘hands on‘. It would also be appropriate to incorporate animation and an auditory element into the activity through the use of sound effects to make a multisensory experience.

Using all the extensive elements of research findings will work together. The Origami, cognitive learning style is most appropriate for a video demonstration because it it is an effective intervention for teaching.

Collaborating all the unique styles into one process will create a new inspiration learning experience educational video.

The ultimate purpose of the reseach intervention is the same; to enhance quality of life for children with Autism. Like all typically developing children, children with Autism all desire and deserve better education and higher quality of life. A step towards achieving this would be through the development of a multimedia learning package to teach Origami.
