The prototype of the Automatic Power Cycling Network (APCN) Kiosk Software used the default Windows CE Shell. The default shell reminded you of the Windows 98 theme, what Microsoft now affectionately calls the Classic theme. It reeked of drab, flat colors and boxy frames. Each page in the prototype was achieved using the TabControl. It was clearly evident that this will not work with our tiny (7″) widescreen touchscreen LCD. Common sense dictates that the buttons must be big enough for the fingers to touch and text to be read.

Now we present the VerTek Solutions poster. It was designed by Jorge Hurtado from Public Affairs & Publications at California State University, Long Beach.
The dimensions of the printed design will be 24″ x 36″ and will be displayed next to our booth in an easel at Imagine Cup in Paris, France.
The consensus is that we like it. It is simple and green. 
Look at that giant light bulb over the houses… it’s like a monster hovering over a suburban setting. IT’S PERFECT.
See it after the jump.
Logo, I Choose You…!

Loading ...Team EAT’s VerTek Solutions did not have a logo before it was even announced that we made it into the finals. When we found out that we indeed made it into the finals, one of those aspects of the project that made us scramble really quickly to come up with is the logo for our fictional company.
I, Fred, decided to create one realizing all too well that it won’t be the one making it into France (so, I had expectations that it could be… oh well, no big whoop). I created the logo that was on display on the main website and the wallpaper that I made for three weeks.
Firstly, let me backtrack to the inception of the company name.

Here is a copy of the invitation from the College of Engineering at Cal State Long Beach to 1000 people, or so we heard. Mostly went out to local press and local important people (ie, CoE Deans from other Universities).

Touchscreen LCD It arrived today and seems to be working fine with Windows Embedded CE 6.0 (after building the image 3 times because of errors). Juan spent some time testing the touchscreen functionality with a couple of games of Solitaire. I hear it was explosively exciting.
Team EAT Development Blog It has gone live. I must admit that this blog should have existed 10 months ago when the idea of the project came up. No regrets, now we have a lot of information within us that will flow out into the keyboard and into your screen for you to read. More on that as it develops.
VERTEK SOLUTIONS Website The website for Team EAT’s fictional business plan is almost up. The intention is to have a website that shows Vertek as a real company with a real product that is “available” to the public. Hopefully, my creative juices will keep flowing and the consistent good designs will show up some time. I’ve yet to include many of the graphic elements to the website and add that Web 2.0-ish effects that is so popular these days. http://verteksolutions.com
Follow Development Team EAT also has a Twitter so you can follow our status on our way to Paris, France. I will be updating that when we go to France through texting and web. It’s like you’re there in every single way. http://twitter.com/verteksolutions
