Visual Essay Notes!

18:27 0 Comments

1. Character talks to the camera about what the essay is about
2. Three doors- each door is a different environment (Moving Image, Interactive and Virtual Environments)
3. The character walk through each door, the first door being the one I dislike the most. I.e. The environment being the most disliked designed to be gloomy and dull, with dead end signs. Moving Image is the one I dislike to most, therefore I will show this will maybe a film set, camera and etc. I will also have the character talking.
4. For the third door i.e. Virtual Environments, I will show this by using bright colours and different paths (no dead ends), which take you to my chosen practitioners, inspiration and my own work. 
5. The character moves with the camera throughout. I will use facial expressions and body language with the character to show its emotions. Also I will use dull and happy music to enhance to mood of the character. I.e. the character being me.
6. If it is possible I would like to edit some YouTube clips from professionals talking about the industry and etc of my chosen pathway.
7. After the character has took the audience through the different paths in my chosen pathway, it then finishes with a stop motion, indicating why I have chosen this certain pathway.
8. Stop motion - drawings/crafts (Example for inspiration below)
9. Credits- references

10. Programs- 3D studio max, Photoshop and possibly Flash

So, I recently blogged about getting rid of the notice board idea, however I then thought it would look quite nice on the contact page but within the content. Although afterwards I thought it would look better if each page had the same idea because most people don't always click onto the contact page so it could end up being a waste.

About:














Contact:














You can see how the 'Contact' page looks more effective than the others (Others not fully completed yet)
Feedback would be appreciated please.............

DIGITAL ME!

I haven't been blogging much for the DIGITALME project which isn't good. However over the past four weeks I have been spending a lot of time on photoshop and dreamweaver to make sure it all looks good and makes sense.
For the past four weeks we have been playing about with Dreamweaver to get the hang of it and basically developing out website week by week.























When completed I will gather some feedback so I can improve it.
Next: 500 evaluation

Interactive Inspiration & Ideas!

05:12 0 Comments

For the interactive DIGITAL-ME project, I have a few ideas in my mind what my layout will look like. I plan to base it on a cork board for the home page and the links are notes and pictures pinned onto the cork board which then turn into a scrap book when you click onto the link. I thought this would work well because its quite quirky and different to other websites, which potentially could make it stand out.
I have researched existing websites and I have found tons that have inspired me. Below are some that stood out to me.
