Client Meeting Two

I created two proposal documents:

• A simplified version for the client.
• A more standard technical version for the benefit of my course.

I delivered my proposal which only contained my proposal for the kiosk application. We agreed that the online version would be added extra and that I could provide this for them in my own time and not under the constraints of the deadlines for this assignment, although I do hope to have an online working version by the deadline but it will not be my priority.

I explained to the client my informed opinion that the application would be more effective for current and long term use with an online MYSQL database and we agreed to proceed with that as the current plan of action.

We discussed my proposal and the client seemed very happy with the application that I proposed although I did stress that it was open to changes at any time to suit their needs, although major changes towards the end of the process may need to be addressed after I have produced a version for marking. This is very important as I have a duty to provide a working application that meets the client’s needs but I also need to meet the learning requirements as needed to complete this assignment as part of my course.

I agreed to produce a working prototype by the next meeting and the client is to start sourcing content for the application. During this assignment I will not be sourcing any content I will only be responsible for delivering that content to the public in an attractive intuitive manner.

We discussed the use of content that may be subject to copyright and we decided that wherever possible we would use non copyrighted material and we came up with a solution for some of the images we require that solves the copyright problem. I require some images of ships and my lecturer suggested that if the images we require were commissioned and drawn by an artist specifically for this project we could avoid the copyright problem. My own drawing skills are not at a high enough standard for this task so I am commissioning the production of these images to a fellow student who has very strong art skills. I will follow a traditional commissioning process and I will keep records of this process for my professional practice module.
