PROJECT PROPOSAL

In this week, we are quite busy to finish our project proposal. We have divided our task fairly in the team. Each one have to finish his tasks on time. The deadline for all was last Wednesday, so that we have a few days left to check them all.

In this part, everyone in the team has finished their job totally. And we started to work on our project from now on as in the timeline.

MOCK UP OF A SCENE

This is the first mock up of one scene in our program of teaching Hiragana. This is designed by Lien Anh on Illustrator.

In every scene, we would have the 4 main parts :

1. Navigation of the lessons (the left area)
2. Navigation of each part in the lesson (the below area)
3. The directions (step by step) of the lesson ( the top area)
4. The lesson itself ( the animated character, pronunciation, etc) - (the blackboard area)

As the program is mainly target the young people, children, etc. we would make this program design a little bit fun, colorful, etc.

Certainly, this is not our final design, and there would be several changes on this such as the lecturer that would be a cat, etc.

VVV logo

After discussing with the member, we decided to choose this one as our team logo. Although the logo reads V3, our team name really is VVV.

And below is the rest of the designs.



We chose that logo because of its color's impact and the readability of being VVV - V3

PROJECT PROPOSAL

1. Concept

As we are really fond of the Japanese and some of us has tried to learn Japanese through several Webpage on the Internet, we found that making a program to teach the first basic concept of Japanese is a good idea. Then, Hiragana, a basic Alphabet of Japanese with 46 letters, is our choice. We will do this on Flash as it will provide us many ways to make our audience involve naturally in the Program of learning Japanese. Basically, we will divide the 46-letter into 10 lessons, each will contain about 5 letters. Next, in each lesson, we will show them how to write the letter, pronounce it, and differentiate it to the others, etc. These processes are done in a "manga-anime" style with some anime tutor, so the mood of our program is somehow funny and user-friendly. Then, after 2-3 lessons, we will provided a small test for our audience to review and check if they still remember everything in the last 2-3 lessons.

2. Audience
When we build our program in the style of manga-anime, we concentrate most in the children and teenager (age 10 - 25). These are the one who interested in learning Japanese and they are at the stage of beginner.

3. The Scope
- This program can be done both offline and online. However, we prefer it to be an offline-version because this version can be done more careful with more gadget than the online version.
- Software: Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, and maybe the DreamWeaver.
- Other need: the materials of Hiragana online
