Uni!

Well I have started University and started my course properly! And I fucking really love it! I am doing Photography and Magazine layout and also fashion illustration which i love! For home work I have had to practice drawing models in proportion. Now doing life drawing last year at college I learnt that people usually have between 6 to 7 heads between them. Models have shockingly 9 heads to their body length! WOW! For home work I have had to draw one model in Lingerie, sports wear and a coat. (best homework ever!) haha here is my first attempt :)

WEBSITE DESIGN overview.

WHAT INSPIRED ME?
What inspired me was actually the Helvetica type and the film. Through researching helvetica it made me realise how nice the typeface was and how nice it looks like on its own. That is what made me want to have just type for my navigation buttons.
What actually inspired me to make the animation was pureky at the top of my head. And my idea was obviously too big for my time limit.

DOES IT WORK?
Yes it does all work successfully. All the links work perfecty well and conects to pages very well.

WHAT I THINK?
I do like my website but I feel it is not 100% yet but I am very proud of what I have achieved and am very greatful to my tutor for his guidance. (Only nice thing I will ever say!!) Over all it works nicely. I do wish my work from my extended project had been returned in time as it has some of my favourite fashion illustrations which i wanted to include more.

To develop my website further I would like to finish it to my design and would love to get it running.

WEBSITE DESIGN the making.

 This is what my main first page looks like. It is my name and each individual letter is clearly marked with navigation labels. I wanted plain type as I thought it looked fresh and crisp. I like the use of white space. The only thing I was disappointed that I did not have time to add my second name. I originally wanted my second name to be my project navigation.

 Here I have shown the animation process of my navigation button called 'about' which is in the shape of an 'e' As you can see when you click on it it turns purple and extends. (Yeah I know what it looks like!) Then the other navigation buttons disappears by fading and then my short bio appears. I didnt think about it but my home button disappears so I needed something to get back so I put a small HOME button in the corner to take it back to the start.

 Again when clicking on the 'r' it extends and turns orange  and the other navigation fades away and then my contact information appears. I also had to make the same HOME button in the top right hand corner. It is crucial that the placing of the navigation buttons so that it doesn't confuse the user. So I have remained them the same.

 Here I have shown the 'i' extending and turning purple. Now from here it turns to a different layout. This is my 'gallery' and more buttons appear on the top. This is to navigate through all of my projects which I have created.

 This print screen is from flash to show my animation. All of my animation uses motion tweening. This means you make 2 key frames and change the movement or add something in between the key frames and then select motion tween and it should run smoothly. If the arrow does not appear that means it hasn't worked properly.

 Here I have shown my navigation close up. when rolled over it does turn orange. If I had time I would have made it look a bit nicer.

 This is my magazine and at the bottom is the pictures of my magazine small and when you click on them it enlarges it. And that is how you view my work.

Kids Visit

Kids aged 8-9 came to visit our college and take part in the Kids activity pack which Georgie organized. I helped out with guiding the kids and helping them make hats! It was very fun and they were all adorable! They made some great things and it was a good experience.

Type

I did not have an existing type poster for my type project so today I have been spending all my time creating one. I am showing my progress so far....
