Comments on: What Would Make A Project Like This Work Better? http://locative.myvelodrome.org/2008/04/09/what-would-make-a-project-like-this-work-better/ class blog Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:59:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: dpena http://locative.myvelodrome.org/2008/04/09/what-would-make-a-project-like-this-work-better/#comment-70 dpena Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:57:21 +0000 http://locative.myvelodrome.org/2008/04/09/what-would-make-a-project-like-this-work-better/#comment-70 I have to agree that the project was limited by the lack of decent equipment and the hinderance of the create-a-scape website, but I want to put a positive note that everybody was able to acomplish what they were intending to do. It turned out to be a fun and innovative project that I would do again if there were not any time constraints.

I do not fault the department for a lack of funds to provide us with this, as a mac lab is most likely more expensive and over all prefered. but mscape needs to develop a mac version. iPhones need to PDAs with GPS inside, and the project would've been more seamless in the production state. having to struggle with software and hardware i guess comes with the territory of this new media...i get that. but it doesn't change the fact that it takes away from the creativity of a project given the limited knowledge of the tools, limited access to computers, and limited time. I feel like I rushed through the process instead of getting to test, make changes, retest, change again, and so on and so forth until i was satisfied with the end result. That being said, this does not change the fact that i will be trying to use my knowledge of this process to better develop my final project and incorporate some elements of mediascape into something larger.
