Press Release 4/23/10

TGIS effectively presented their research, product, and final project on Thursday, April 22, 2010 and were very please by their performance and feedback. Again, TGIS would like to thank Professor Burton for showing them the way to graduation and successfully guiding them throughout the semester, their sponsors, Ron Glotzbach and Jim Sprinkles for all their time and help throughout the semester as well, stat consultant, Han Wu, for helping them with their final research and statistical analysis, Christy Sering for helping them pick up the legacy project and her time spent getting them up to speed with the technology used, IAB members for the feedback and for those that took the time to meet with them, Andrew Follett, and all the testing participants that helped with their research experiment. Without the assistance and guidance of all of them, this project wouldn’t have been a success. Thank you again. TGIS would also like to thank all of you that attended their presentation. The new features of CGTConnect will be available by the week of May 3, 2010. Any Purdue Computer Graphics student or alumni can join and will be notified of the new features when they are updated to the site. Now that the presentation is complete, TGIS will be finishing up their research paper, project business packet, and preparing for their exit interviews. They are very excited to get the final feedback from Professor Burton.

TGIS is a GO

TGIS receives a GO without reservations on March 5th, 2010. After giving our Go / No-Go presentation to Dr. Harris, Professor Glotzbach, Mr. Sprinkles, Professor Burton, and Christy Sering they liked the direction our project was headed. We will be working hard the next few weeks to refine our project. TGIS is looking further into the development of the facebook integration already in place for CGTConnect. While TGIS has a primary focus of putting together an online portfolio for CGTConnect, we have some other exciting features we plan to implement that will compliment the site. Our company plans to setup a meeting with someone of Purdue’s statistical department to further discuss and understand our necessary data collection towards our project.

TGIS Press Release

TGIS (This Group Is Sketch) is preparing for its Go/No-Go presentation, to be held March 5^th at 12:30 in the afternoon. In attendance will be sponsors of the group, Ronald Glotzbach and Jim Sprinkles, as well as head of the 411 class, Professor Burton. The group, composed of members Stephanie Lewis, Ryan Hicks, Matt Milligan, and Neil Ahrendt, has begun initial preparations to further enhance a social networking tool pioneered by former 411 team, Scribble Studios. CGTConnect, an online portal for linking together current and past CGT students, has been well adopted but does not effectively retain users. The group plans to introduce an online portfolio-review option as a way to engage users and add utility to the site. The group is prospectively researching how being online would affect one person’s review of a student’s portfolio, as compared with an in-person review. They are also researching what criteria are used to form an objective review of graphic work. Further materials about the group can be found online at tgis411.com. They would also like to extend an invitation to any members of Scribble Studios as well as Industrial Advisory Board member Chris Korab.
