Blog week 3

The very first week working as a team is not as good as expected. We have got five members but only two showed up, including me.
We were told that they are all sick but we still can't be sure about that. But anyway, two of us still came up with some great ideas by the end of the contact session, which is great.

First of all, we decided a certain design process for the session of how we are gonna design it, which is Blue Hat (in 6 thinking hats). We will check out the SQL database first to see what data they have got and we can make use of. Then we integrate our ideas into a whole one that match the existing database. And lastly make design decision.

Then we get to White Hat process, which is listing out all the facts that we know and make connections with each of these databases.

And then, we used Red Hat process. Everyone was given half a minute to think about what we think of the topics. And only two of them were considered nice topics ---- picture QLD and Real Estate.

After that, we got through Yellow, Black and Green Hats in order.
    First we explored the optimistic side of the ideas. And it turns out that they both are fine for integrating maps, which is our basic idea.
   Then we got to discuss their weak points, during which we found the time limitation from the database, leading us to set the time frame of the project to a specific period.
   Lastly, we thought a bit more of what we can integrate in the project. And we found that newspaper, mining accident and WW1 photography are all in the same time frame in database. And we came up with a way of integrating the databases.

We decided to use section points at the side for users to click to change data topic.
