Individual Report (Pulau Payar)
After my assignment 1 and 2, I gain much of the knowledge of using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Dreamweaver and the group submission – Adobe Flash. In Assignment 3, I learned Malaysia holiday destination - Pulau Payar with the information that my group members and I searched on website, we are sharing the information during our meeting, so I’m knowing the activities, entertainment, promotion and so on that occur in Pulau Payar.   Besides that, I learned how to make a website by using Adobe software, which is Dreamweaver and support by Photoshop, Flash, and after effects.

We are facing the problem during doing this assignment, actually we are facing some different problem, because some task we are divide to individual work, but after that we will discuss the problem we face and we will try to solve it together. In my case, I’m facing the adobe after effects software problem, we have no learn this software during the tutorial class and this software is required 64 bits operating windows, so I was reformat my operating system to window 7 - 64bits and install the adobe after effects to do the transparent background flx of our short video and using the Adobe flash to edit. In the same time, we have to find a big wall with green background, but we fail to find it, so we are going to buy the green paper and stick on my friend house’s wall and start our shooting process.

If I need to do next time, I think will be the different design with different theme, because difference theme will make different feeling for us. For my motivation is consider at very strong, because I m interesting in design and try the new things, this assignment 3 is the new challenges for me and I had do my best to solve it in time and pay all effort on it. 

Working with my group members, I feel nice and enjoy, because we will cover each other’s weak point. Besides that, I had divided the task equally and help each other to process this assignment, so we are process in smoothly. We also have a good tutorial leader, he leading us in the guideline and created a group in facebook to help us.

This assignment is working nicely; all group members are responsible in their own part and also help each other’s members when they are facing the problem.

Previously, I had updated my blog with information and picture search by online and also the proposal that we did before. I like my team members because they are responsible members, submit the work for me on time. For my personal and group members evaluation, of cause is 9.9/10 – almost full marks, because we had done our best in this assignment.
