Updates for Group DM

Over the past few weeks, our group has been actively handling all other assignments including the E-wallpaper and currently handling the personal website assignment. We've managed to create a Facebook group for Group DM which allows us to discuss on each others' progress as well as to share our findings.
We've managed to find a few websites which contain information regarding the Malya Culture such as Tourism Malaysia website (http://www.tourism.gov.my/) and also another webpage by the name of Warisan Budaya Malaysia (http://malaysiana.pnm.my/). So far we have design the header like as seen in the blog. Then we are going to do the button tabs using photoshop. We also discuss the layout of our website and colour of our website but it is subject to changes.

Creating a Banner & update about the type of traditional games

What have we been up to recently? 

Interesting question,right?

We decided to make a banner for our last assignment and it consist of all the subtopic of our group members.

Aim: To make sure the reader have some view about our group's topic, that is the Malay Culture.

The topics are: 

1. Clothing

2. Food

3. Traditional Games & Past time

4. Festival

5. Traditional Weapons

We used google to find the pictures of the related topic

Then, use photoshop to make this banner.
We did a few changes for the size because the picture is too big and exceeded the blog post.

Some of us even asked some questions on facebook about their own subtopic.
Example

 

Batu Seremban is also known as Batu Lima or Selambut or Serembat.

It is a popular game played by children. It is normally played by girls.

This game can be played individually or even in a group of two, three, four and so on.

Children normally use stones, glass marbles, medium sized rock or any kind of objects that is small and round to play this game. All they need is just five stones, marbles or any kind of object.

This game is normally played during their free time or past time, at the verandah, indoors or anywhere andy time. All they need is a flat and clean surface. Players for batu seremban normally prefer to sit on the ground so that the can play it easily.

There are different level of the game. In fact, some people improvise the normal traditional game, instead of using stone and the normal method, they use cloth filled with "buah saga" or sand.
