I created a link about the history of Indian food in Malaysia in the website and the page with its content. Basically, the main objective of my page is to explain and describe the history of Indian food and how they ended up being in Malaysia. In this way, when users click on my link, they will be shown the history about how the Indians came into Malaysia and how they introduced their kind of cooking to Malaysia. This helps users to know the history of the food that they normally enjoy and how the food is made or how it came to be in Malaysia.
As for the graphical interface, the header was designed using adobe Photoshop and was saved as a J-PEG so that it would be able to fit into the website properly. I also used food backgrounds as a way of showing the significance or as a way of showing that the website is about food.
After doing the project, I managed to understand the origins of Indian food in Malaysia and how the food is prepared. I also managed to understand the differences between the different kinds of Indian food and even the differences between Indian foods and other foods from other cultures. During the project, I faced problems of lack of communication between or among our members. This was primarily due to different timetables and different subjects done by each member which made it almost impossible to meet conveniently, causing a slow progress in our project. This did not prevent us from finishing the project, as a matter of fact; we managed to schedule or meet during the weekends and cover up on the project. This was helpful because during that time, most of us were free.
For next time, I think it will be better to choose students who are doing the same course with me to avoid complications caused by clashing time tables. This would make meetings much easier and this would get the work done much faster. As for motivation, I guess I can say I am more motivated now because I am able to use the software that I didn’t know how to use and even learnt more skills of using the softwares.
As for the team work, it was very encouraging and very motivating. The group members were very cooperative and hardworking and this made working on the projects easy. As the team leader, I had to make sure that my group members were able to perform their duties and even preform them on time, and they did, without any difficulties. I believe I did my best in the project, personally, I gave all the efforts that were needed in the project and as for my teammates; I can gladly say the same about them as they did not give me any trouble.
