Final project5

The technology to be used
(1) Detailed technology
It should include the front design, background design and database.
For the front design, I intend to make use of HTML and CSS. For getting better visual effect, I am going to combine Photoshop and Illustrator.
For the background design, I plan to make use of PHP.
For the database, I choose the SQL server.
For the digital fitting room, I will use Flash as my technology.

Final project4

The reasons why I choose the website with digital fitting room as my topic of final project can be listed as below:
(1) Interest
From my point of view, anybody who is working at the things they are interested in will be more effective and happy. As regards myself, I choose the shopping online website as my topic of final project just because of my interests. From one hand, shopping is one of my favorite thing in daily life. Most girls are born like pursuing beauty so girls will not satisfied with their wardrobe and jewelry box. From another hand, during the first half year of study as master, I find internet authoring interesting and I really like to work on it. Combining these two points, I decide to research this area.
(2) Market potential
With the development of Internet, increasing number of people tried to buy products online. The unique advantages of online shopping website make it possess large market potential [2].
l For customers.
Firstly, there is no limit of time and space. In real life, people always have to walk all day long to find the thing needed and sometimes get nothing at last. It is time-consuming and makes customers tired. Especially nowadays, office staffs are busy in day time, so online shop make the shopping time flexible to them. People can do shopping without regard to weather and time[3]. Secondly, rich supply of products. If you want to get special information or product, you can just type in the keywords, all the relevant commodities will be listed for you. In this way, you can shorten the time and also break the geographical boundaries. It is widely known that there are many different supplies of product in different areas. Once you choose to buy things online, you can resolve this problem effortlessly. Thirdly, it is not safe to bring a large mount of cash when shopping, especially during holidays and festivals. By comparison, it is safer when you do the business online thereby avoiding to be stolen or get lost. Lastly, the commodity prices are relatively lower in online shops. Because shopkeeper can run business without house rent, shop assistant’s salary and so on [2].
l For shopkeepers
The reasons why so many people get engaged in the online business can be outlined as followed:
There is no pressure of stock. To some extent, this will decline the risk of business.
Low cost decides the low price, which make the shop more competitive.
All the benefits to both consumers and shopkeepers make online shopping website attractive. This makes my website possess large market potential. If my website targets customers in right way and take effective operation strategy, it will keep its charm and be profitable [2].
(3) Distinctive feature
The most serious problem existed in nowadays online business is fitting and my website is characterized by digital fitting room. This service increases the credibility of online shop. I believe this service will attract more customers and make my website distinguishing. Except the digital fitting room, shopkeepers of my website can upload video which is used to introduce or show their products. In this way, people can get the impression of the real commodities. Even though client cannot touch or try on the items, they can grasp all the information they want.

Final project3

In this day and age, the E-commerce and Logistics are developing in a high speed. Online shopping mall attracts the mass because of its convenience, low cost and entertainment, also a large number of potential customers exist. Due to its enormous market potential and basic technology, I decided to choose online shopping website as my topic of the final project. The website is going to sale variety of things including cloth( and mainly cloth), creative home furniture, digital products, etc.
The features of the website
1 I intend to name the website as Purple because this color brings the feeling of loyalty and fashion to us, I hope my website will give the customers the same first impression. According to this, I am planning to set the style of website as freshness and happiness to make customers cheerful and have the desire to stay for longer time.
2 For increasing the entertainment of my website, I will offer the background music player to the sellers online so that the customers feel relax when entering their shops. Many relevant experiences tell us most people always get visual fatigue when browsing websites, so I try every way to make customers feel comfortable.
3 The most serious problem revealed by customers is the fitting. Even though there are photo of model or real images of commodities, it is hard to know whether the customers fit them or not. To resolve this problem, I intend to build online fitting rooms, which is the striking feature of my website.
The fitting room includes size adjusting, matching and photo taking. Firstly, customer build a digital model by entering the important sizes such like bust measurement, waist, hip, etc. After establishing a digital model nearly the same like their own figure, they can upload their own avatar thereby showing the realistic results. Because some cloth may make people’s faces dark or green, consumers can avoid this condition in this way. Once you have a digital model like your own stature, you can pick your cloth. Just press the clothes showing on the website, they will attach to the digital model automatically. You can get the matching results of the cloth and shoes and you can pick as many as you can until you feel satisfied with the effect. As for showing, you can enlarge part of the model and at the same time, you can make it turn back to check the matching as well. At last, when you finish all the matching activities, you can set kinds of background of your model. The reason why I decide to offer this service is that people always have the desire to buy new cloth just for some special occasions like travel, party, etc. So if I provide background in the fitting room service, the effect will be better. If you want to keep the matching result of the clothes, you can enter the photo taking stage to save your dress. In this way, you can compare all your selected wares or send them to your friends thereby getting the feedback from them.

For the final project2

I keep thinking what to do for my final project.
I remember Waseem told us we should connect it with our interests...So firstly, website design. Secondly, shopping...So>_
The special point is to offer fitting room severce.
Because first of all, when we shopping online, we are always worried about the size. It is always the case that the items we buy don't fit us when receiving them and it causes too many problems if we wanna return them. So the items just laying in our wardrobe. So once our website has the service offering the fitting room, it will be competative than others.

wishes to you--Ning


There is nothing special for my university life in China, common campus, common lecturers, common life, common infrastructures. But my roomates gave me warm feelings and warm memories.

Ning is a girl who has hard life to some extent because she doesn't have good economic situations. She supported herself in the 4-year time. I really admire her. Some months ago, the Ministry of Education claimed the gradutes who joined the army would be offered quite good conditions. Ning decided to do this and she made it.

2-year time, cannot to see her and she must face every hardships by herself. I don't know why, I hurts a lot. And at the same time, I consider her as my example...

All the wishes to you~and I will go to Ji Nan to see you next summer holiday~

Merry X'mas and happy new year^_^

Merry X'mas and happy new year to everybody~
I was quite busy in this holiday because my friend came here from Cork intending to have a happy time together. So...we eat all day long...shopping all day long and sleep all day long= =
Maybe because of the pressure several days ago, I must keep thinking the deadline of my homework...so I really wanna relax.
At the same time, I am homesick...especially I have nothing to do. So to some extent, busy time can help me feel time flies. Half more year, I can go home.
Frankly, i cannot feel the automosphere of new year...so I don't think it is a new start. I just live on~during this process I feel the happiness feel the pain.
Whatever, try my best to learn more to give better permormances.
