2nd Week of Competition

During this week we moved onto the next phase of design which is the 2nd week of competition. The design of the site stays almost the same as the first week with a few minor changes.

Home Page:

The page layout stays the same, however the content changes. Each week the video on the page changes as well as the photoslide show. Below is my mock up of the home page (click on the image to enlarge it):




Admin Pages:

The admin pages for the second week stay the same as the first week however if old goals or events are still unapproved then they will carry over into the next week for approval or disapproval. However the the layout and availability of the pages stays the same of the first week.

Billbaord:

This week I also worked on the billboard page. My design is currently one of two designs that are being proposed. My billboard proposal consists of 6 slides.

The first slide shows users the next upcoming event as well as the current floor standings:



The 2nd slide shows the weekly as well as the overall kukui nut leaders. Hopefully this will encourage user to actively engage in activities to gain more kukui nuts:



The 3rd screen shows the recent commitments that other users have submitted. Hopefully this will encourage other people to also commit to similar actions or events:



The 4th screen shows the recent goals that floors have set for themselves. The goal of this page is to motivate floors to keep up with the other floors by submitting their own goals:



The 5th screen shows a tip of the day, so that users don't even have to visit the website to receive tips on how to curb energy consumption:



The last screen shows a graph of the current energy consumption of that day. I think this will give students a good idea of when or when not to use certain appliances (assuming they apply their energy literacy knowledge):





The idea behind my design was to give students as much information as possible without them having to do anything at all. This way the student can come in and see all of the essential competition data without having to go to the website or logging into their account. Hopefully in this manner students will be more encouraged to compete and also gain energy literacy without doing a thing.

Prizes:

This week we also worked on designing prizes for the competition. The prizes range from a pizza party to an ipod depending on the category that was won. Our budget was $2000 and we were able to stay a little under that goal. However I am unable to post up a list of the prizes as they are on someone else computer and not in the repository.
