I am planning to design an online membership and payment management system
on the web.
It will have a back-end and a frond-end. The back end will be using MS SQL
server 2000 for my database.( My front ?end I will be using is Microsoft
Visual Studio c# .net.
_________________________________________________________________

my research topics is: Principles of web design
Have a look at this web site : http://www.mlc-wels.edu/jgrunwald/page.html
& http://www.merit.edu/~tmwhite/webdesign/ it explains the 6 basic Basic
Principles of Web Page Design & http://mason.gmu.edu/~montecin/webdesign.htm
. Just to get the Idea

For example:
1. Include essential elements on each page.
2. Use appropriate navigational aids.
3. Keep page lengths short.
4. Use appropriate text fonts and styles.
5. Use color appropriately.
6. Keep graphics small.
What things do I need for my web site from the perspective of web designing?

I am to describe how I would conduct a needs assessment for math. I am faxing 3 articles ASAP.
Thank you,

There are faxes for this order.

I need a MINIMUM of 10 sources, all of which mUST be cited, and of which a maximum of only 2 (TWO) can be from the Internet (unless coming from a reputable newspaper website, an academic journal, library article search, online encyclopedia, and things such as that). Wikipedia is NOT considered reputable enough to be considered a non-Internet source. As an additional source to the 10 required, I had to interview someone in the field, and that person's responses I will include later, and some of which MUST be used in the paper and cited correctly.

The works cited page must be in MLA style. Sources must be cited within the paper MLA style (Parenthetical citations - NO footnotes). Notice it is a WORKS CITED page, not just a bibliography. A separate Annotated Bibliography must be included as well. I can make a cover page myself. None of these are counted as part of the 10-pages of the paper itself int he grading.

Paper should be in the "5 Paragraph Essay" format, though is not limited to just 5 paragraphs. Basically, what I mean is it should have an opening paragraph with a thesis statement, content in the middle, and a concluding paragraph. This is a research paper on the history of technology in graphic design, so the content in between should be mostly in some sort of chronological order.

Here's the interview info in case it gets screwed up later:

Name of Interviewed: Nicole Hickman
Position of Interviewed: Production Artist

1. As far back as you can remember, what is your earliest memory of
becoming interested in your field?

I first started working part-time with my mom and dad in a small company they had typesetting and producing musical textbooks.

Later, when I was looking for a better way to make money outside of being a typist in a law firm, my mom suggested that I look for a typesetting job. This was back in late 1976. I interviewed at a typeshop, for a trainee position, and was hired.

2. Were you taught what you know, or did you figure most of it out for
yourself? (a percentage here would be nice in addition, eg. 40%
taught/60% learned on own)

I was trained on the job initially. Subsequently, I taught myself a lot of stuff about what I was doing, with the help of people I was working with. I'd say the percentage was 35% taught/65% learned on my
own. I've always been the type of person to present myself with a
challenge and then figure out how to do it.

3. In your personal experiences, how has the technology evolved since
you got started in your field?

Technology has changed a great deal since I started as a typesetter,
back in late 1976. In those days, there was no WYSIWYG, layouts were
produced entirely with coding. You saw the results of your work only
after it came out on the imagesetter. Since then, everything is
produced on-screen, and later printed, and apart for things like color
correction, you can pretty much rely on the fact that what you see on
the screen is what your layout will look like, because you have a
preview.

4. How have you adapted to these changes in technology? Were there any speedbumps along the way?

Personally, I didn't hit any speedbumps, as it's always been my nature
to keep learning new things. I do know that there were speedbumps for
many who had trouble adjusting to the new way of doing things.

5. In your opinion, have these advancements made things easier?
Better? Stifled creativity?

I think that to a certain extent they've made things easier, but I
also think that whereas in the pre-WYSIWYG days layout and production
were handed off by art directors to typesetters and stripping
departments, now, there seems to be a bigger burden on art directors
to produce print-ready materials. In my opinion, this makes it harder
for art directors to just create things. In addition, because the
tools nowadays make it easier for an art director to take things all
the way to the point of final production, it's had an impact on people
whose jobs were based on doing the production themselves. Many have
lost their jobs as a result.

6. What would you say, in your opinion, has been the best innovation
in your field and why? The worst?

Without a doubt, Postscript was a huge revolution in the way things
were done. Whereas before, things that were done with special
equipment, or just not done at all, suddenly these things became
possible with Postscript imaging technology. The ability to set type
to an unlimited size without degradation of the quality of the type
outlines made typositor machines a thing of the past. As Macs became
more advanced and faster, and software like Adobe Photoshop, Quark and
Illustrator made it possible to do more complicated layouts and
composition incorporating photography and type effects, things that
would have been too expensive to produce in the past became a matter
of course.

I'd say the worst impact has been that the art of typography has
suffered, because most people are not taught true typographic skills
in schools anymore, and where in the earlier days of phototypesetting
typographers were the arbiters of typography, now, inexperienced art
directors without a good typographic sense are setting the type, to
less than optimal result.

7. Did you learn more of what you need in the field in college, or in
the "real world"?

I've never been to college for what I do. Everything I've learned I've
learned in the real world.

8. Where do you see the technology going in the next 5 years? 15
years? 50 years?

I think there will be more integration in the direction of say, the
Adobe Creative Suite, where a suite of applications work in an
integrated fashion to produce a product. I also see another upheaval
coming in terms of the final reproduction of people's works. Direct to
plate, digital printing, all of these will eventually supplant
traditional film output. I'm not sure that will be the best thing for
a lot of the vendors who still work in the old school way.

9. If you could invent one thing to help you in your line of work,
what would it be/what would it do?

Hmm. I think it would be a truly easy to understand way to calibrate
color between a large number of output devices.

10. Are you concerned about anything related to your field and the
technology and where it is headed?

As someone who is more involved in the production end of things than
in the design end, I am concerned about the impact of software as a
replacement for skilled production people like myself. In the early
days of the Mac, as more and more ad agencies took their work in-house
and bought Macs for in-house production departments, a lot of
typeshops were forced to close their doors, or do what they could to
stay afloat. Some became pre-press shops, rather than typeshops.
Nevertheless, many lost their jobs during that time. I see another
wave like this coming.

11. What is your opinion of the new/fresh graduates appearing in your
field? Any suggestions or words of wisdom for them?

I can't say that I have an opinion, outside of people I encounter on
the forum where you posted these questions. A lot of enthusiasm, with
the right attitude, they'll go far.

My advice would be to stay humble, listen to those around you with
more experience, stay open to learning new things constantly, and
don't discouraged if you don't make a big bang in the field right
away. It's highly competitive, and persistence will pay off.

Assignment:

The objective of this assignment is to observe and analyze the layout and design of a particular store. You are free to pick any store for this analysis.

Your report should include the following aspects. You should also feel free to explore other issues concerning the stores layout, design, and visual merchandising techniques. You are strongly encouraged to include visual illustrations, such as photos, drawings, and floor plans.

1. Provide a brief description of the store, such as its name, type of store, location, overall positioning (e.g., up-scale, low-price, convenience oriented, fashion forward, classic, etc.)

2. Analyze the store layout and space allocation

1) Describe the layout. The best way to do this is to obtain or draw a floor plan. Label the major merchandise types/groups on the floor plan (e.g., cosmetics, womens apparel, mens apparel, shoes, accessories, etc. for a department store; produce, dry grocery, frozen food, deli, bakery, health and beauty, etc. for a supermarket; plumbing, lighting, gardening, paint, etc. for a home improvement store). You only need to analyze the main floor if there are multiple floors in the store.

2) In your opinion, does the layout serve the objectives of the store well? For example, is it convenient for consumers to navigate in the store? Is the layout conducive to consumers shopping goals (e.g., to get things done fast, vs. recreational shopping)? Are products located in the right place? Does the layout facilitate cross-selling and increase sales for the retailer?

3) Any suggestions for improvement? For example, would you move any departments or merchandise groups/categories to another location in the store? Would you increase or decrease the space allocated to a department or merchandise group/category?

3. Analyze the stores atmosphere and visual merchandising techniques.

1) How would you describe the overall atmosphere of the store? Is it consistent with the stores positioning?

2) Observe and briefly comment on the following elements of the store (or all that apply): signage, fixtures, lighting, music, scent, use of empty space, use of wall space, and use of special displays.

3) Do you have any suggestions for improvement on any of the elements?

4. (optional) Describe and comment on anything else that is interesting, unique, breath-taking, appalling, or puzzling about this stores layout and design.

A.Using the Web or other resources, identify a product that can be classified as an end-user database and a product that can be classified as an enterprise database. How are the products described and marketed. What kinds of applications and users do they support? In what kinds of situations would an organization choose to implement an end-user database over an enterprise database?

B. Visit a commercial Web Site (e.g., CDNow, Amazon.com). If files were being used to store the data supporting the application, what types of files would be needed? What data would they contain?

C. Using the Web, review one of the products listed below. What are the main features and functions of the software? In what companies has the database management system(DBMS) been implemented, and for what purpose? According to the information that you found, what are three strengths and weaknesses of the product?
Relational DBMS
Object DBMS
Multidimensional DBMS

"You must have heard of Nicholas Graham, the guy who introduced those boxer shorts with loud and colorful designs. i didn't know what was going on at the time, but I was flying Virgin Air to London one night and a couple people from that firm stood up, and began passing out yellow boxer shorts decorated with eyes and smiles. They invited everyone to put them on and then parade up and down the aisle singing songs. Believe it or not, many did. Now I found out later that the guy who owns Virgin also owns Joe Boxer. So when you told me about that great idea coming from a Macy buyer, I had to lough. Seems to me that the admittedly great boxer shorts were more a promotional success than a creative one. With marketing people like those at Joe Boxer, who needs great new product concepts.?"

Thia question from my text book " New Products Management" chapter 4, about creativity.

Appraise the various types of Security Architecture & Design models.

If you have access to the following books, Information Security Fundamentals (ISBN 0-8493-1957-9) and Information Security (ISBN 0-8493-7087-6)

If not use whatever internet resources that are easy for me to look up. Thank you


Customer is requesting that (jpz777) completes this order.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I need to analyze the development and launch of Microsoft's Zune MP3 player and provide the logic for how and why the product was unsuccessful.
The paper should have the following sections:

? Introduction - In this section you should outline the purpose of the paper and introduce the product concept.

? Background - Here you should provide contextual information about the industry, regulatory, technological, and economic factors that affect the viability of your product.

? Problem definition - What is the problem the product is attempting to solve? This is possibly the most difficult part of the process. Often what seems to be the obvious problem once analyzed is not the problem at all what we expected. Moreover poor problem definition assures failure of the whole process.

This section should include the results of analytical tools such as perceptual maps, gap analysis, or other tools to justify your analysis

? Product concept - This the logical definition of the product and how it will solve the problem as defined. The concept here should be tested and justified through the use of analytical tools such as conjoint analysis, and A-T-A-R models.

? Brand and design - You should provide information on the brand and design issues that will affect both the product and the company if this product is introduced.

? Marketing testing - Before placing a large investment in a product launch describe the stage gate system that will be used to test the product.

? Launch - Describe the launch process from a strategic marketing perspective. What are the critical elements necessary for a successful launch of this product? What are the control procedures to assure an effective launch?

? Summary / Conclusions and Implications - This should summarize your paper. What are the implications and what can be learned from this product studied.

The essay goes through multiple plagiarism scans and the sources should not be from blogs were wikipedia.

Thank you,
Michael

OPIC: DESIGN YOUR OWN ECONOMY
NEED 7 DESIGN FEATURES FOR THAT ECONOMY, AND 3 FULL PAGES, NO RESEARCH. MAKE SURE THESE 7 FEATURES THAT YOU INTRODUCE IN YOUR PAPER HAVE COMPARABLE SCOPE AND INPORTANCE.ALSO, these 7 features should answer 7 of these questions:

1)(about plato): would one of your design features involve producing social arrangements that would determine the moral character of the players in the economic game? if you think it's no part of the business of the economist to get involved in life arrangement, you would obviously ignore this

2)(the scholastics): should we be concerned with the "fairness and morality" of result that are produced by an economic system?

3)(the mercantilists): does the state need to regulate international trade to protect the security of the state and make it grow stronger?

4) (Richardo): should we rather promote free trade to gain the benefits of comparative advantage without great concern for external effects and costs?

5)(Mill): do you agree with Mill that state should have the responsibility for producing a particular distribution of income that alters the market determined distribution of income.

6)(the individualistic minmum): would you accept a generalization of adam smith's view that government production is acceptable when private marginal benefits are less than private marginal costs, but social benefits are greater than social costs?

7)(industrial organization): do you believe that a world of monopolies is inevitable (MARX) unless we intervene in the economy?

8)(employment): should a government have the responsibility for ensuring an economy is at full emplaoyment? is Say's Law false?

9)(Adam Smith): is Smith's "system of natural liberty" the best of all possible worlds?

10)(human capiral): should the individual or family be made fully and totally responsible for the formation of person human capital? state intervention?

Assume you are given the task of developing retail packaging for a new product. The product and package will be produced in a small town in China and then shipped and sold in the United States. The product will be small runs at first and the package will be a folding carton with a three color print. What print methods might you consider for the first smaller runs? Would you change to a different method if the product does well and goes into larger production runs? Justify your reasoning and considerations.
Assignment must be submitted in APA format and must include a properly formatted reference list.

Research Paper on the following.

I have to desgn my own website (on paper-choose any business you wish).

The summary should briefly describe the content of the report. It should cover the aims of the report, what was found and what, if any, action is called for. Aim for about 1/2 a page in length and avoid detail or discussion; just outline the main points. Remember that the summary is the first thing that is read. It should provide the reader with a clear, helpful overview of the content of the report. However, do not write this summary until you have written your report: it should be the last thing you prepare as it is a summary of your report.

Introduction
The introduction sets the scene for the main body of the report. The aims and objectives of the report should be explained, and you should provide brief details of your chosen organisation, justifying your choice.
Literature Review Summary
This should be written as a concise summary of the key points of your group presentation, the description of which is provided below.

Analysis
This section forms the main body of your report and is where you analyse how the strategies in your chosen marketing mix element change as the product goes through the life cycle (PLC). You should reflect critically on the impact of these changes, using the theories and concepts that you discussed in your presentation. Your points should be grouped and arranged in an order that is logical and easy to follow. Use headings and subheadings to create a clear structure for your material. As with the whole report, all sources used should be acknowledged and correctly referenced.

Conclusion
In this section you should make appropriate conclusions that are supported by the evidence and analysis of the report. For example, you could discuss the overall significance of what has been covered, and you may want to remind the reader of the most important points that have been made in the report or highlight what you consider to be the most central issues or findings. If appropriate, you could make thoughtful and practical recommendations. However, no new material should be introduced in the conclusion.

Submission of completed Report
Completed reports should be handed in to the Postgraduate office by midday on 20th February 2009 and send an electronic copy of the report to TurnItIn by the same deadline.

We are looking for evidence of extensive reading around the subject, not just the module text, but other texts and academic journal articles too.

The study skills guide on how to acknowledge the work of others and avoid plagiarism will provide suggestions on the correct way to reference authors work within the body of your report.


The assignment for this module will have five broad assessment criteria which are weighted differently. Please note the difference in weighting. The final mark will reflect how well each criterion has been addressed.

1. Demonstrates an understanding of appropriate theoretical concepts
An indication of what is being looked for: you should effectively establish the context for the task set and clearly identify and understand the body of theory that is relevant for the subject under study. It is not necessary to present all theories, concepts and models in full detail, rather you should summarise the key areas and should assume that the reader is familiar with this material. You should endeavour to present a reasoned case for why certain theories/models are included/not included.
(20%)
2. Demonstrates an ability to evaluate the literature and synthesise
An indication of what is being looked for: You should provide an analytical and critically evaluative review which compares and contrasts differing perspectives and assesses them in order to develop and synthesise concepts which reflect your own viewpoint. Arguments should be well balanced and connections demonstrated between concepts.
(30%)
3. Application of theory to a chosen organisation
An indication of what is being looked for: You should be able to show in what ways the chosen organisation has attempted to make use of some of the key theoretical issues identified in the academic literature. Equally, it is expected that situations will be identified where these key issues/theories are not being adopted.
(20%)
4. Development of the argument/awareness of implications
An indication of what is being looked for: You should be able to show how the knowledge gained through the literature review can inform the thinking and practice of marketing managers.
