Evolution Studios - Interactive CD Design

Included in one compact package: text, graphics, videos, three-dee, music. And more.

Dilemma: People like to know how much something costs _before_ planning it. And we can't provide quotes without a plan, or at least some idea of what you want. (Notice how restrained we are about proverbial strings and associated measurements.)

You can draw flow charts. Or you can try making yourself a three column table that allows you to figure out what information you need to convey and the best way of conveying it, such as:

*A CD About Our Function and Restaurant Facilities*
Information I want people to know:	Best Way to Tell People:	How To Get it Done:
opening hours	a table	provide a photocopy of the opening hours sign on our door
where we are located	Along with our postal address I think we should have a map	sketch a mud map so the artists can draw up a neat one -or- use Whereis.com
our branding	the CD should feature our logo.	get Vicki from the printers to email over a nice copy
our history	a few paragraphs on how we got to where we are	i'd like to see the difference in price if we hired a copywriter compared to writing the text ourself and suppling in a *.doc format
A look at our function rooms	a 3D tour!	if we supply some floor plans the CD designer will be able to make a walkthrough

It may seem like a lot of work now, but consider - it's work you'll have to do at some stage no matter who you choose to design your CD . It will also net you more accurate quotes, rather than a vague "yeah mate, somewhere between $100 and $1,000, we can let you know when we're finished the CD".

A CD with the ability to play standalone video files in DVD settop boxes - as well as on your computer. The visual quality is comparable with VHS, depending on the amount of movement / detail in the original footage.

This method of presenting information becomes a great option when you require something cheap to duplicate in large numbers, with the added bonus of the multiple playback options.
