Audience Feedback

After completing my first render for the product, I went to social media, specifically the Digital Media or ‘Digibods’ page to get feedback from my peers. From the screengrab below, you can see the feedback:

Overall, the renders got really positive feedback, with many people liking it, which is really good! I also got feedback mainly about the condensation droplets size as two people thought that it was too small and didn’t look realistic enough – from this feedback, I have then made corrections to the renders and my final versions can be seen below.

The droplet sizes have been increased and I have also changed the rotation of the ice cubes & fruits slightly to add to the variation. I’m really pleased with how it turned out & I’m excited to start on the website creation to contextualise it all.

HTML vs Muse

When discussing the concept of my project at the start of the semester, I wanted to contextualise my product with a custom Adobe Muse website to act as a platform to sell it – this seemed like a very logical reason as I have good eye for design and no prior knowledge of HTML, which would make creating a website fairly difficult. However, fast forward to today, a new announcement has just been released by Adobe stating that Muse will no longer be supported and within 2 years the program will be terminated, all discussed in this webpage: https://helpx.adobe.com/muse/kb/adobe-muse-end-of-service.html

Unfortunately, this has created new problems for me which I didn’t expect to encounter – now that Muse will be unsupported in 2 years, how will I get around hosting my work via Business Catalyst and what are the alternatives?
