Finale!!!

Well today is the day we all have to present our Website to our tutors, kind of worried as it's not perfect...but at least I can say I tried my best.
I found this topic quite challenging because I had never used Fireworks or Dreamweaver before, and all the new terminology I had to learn was also hard. I had never heard of 'slicing', 'export wizard' and HTM before now!!!! As the weeks went on I got used to using these programs more and more and finally got my website finished.
I found Thomas, our tutor, to be very helpful, he was very patient when I was getting a little worried about what interactive parts were going on my front page.
To be honest I didn't think by the end of the 6 weeks I would have even half of my website working, but I think I have surprised myself in a way which I have a near complete website working, a few things need to be completed still such as my Portfolio pages. My mouse overs aren't perfect either but I am happy with what I have designed in the amount of time allocated. 
I would like to finish the website after this and most definitely put it on the internet successfully!!

webpage worries!!!

I have been trying to get my website on the internet and its not working!!!! I am so relieved that other peoples aren't working!! or else i would be crying right about now!! 
Hope my presentation goes well tomorrow!

Body project

Had The Body crit today with sara, I thought I was doing ok with my project....but no. Compared with everyone elses ideas, I was behind. Not to worry, I got some good feedback from it and I am ready to start thinking about my layout for my book. I was getting a bit involved with my project because its about palm reading and tarot cards. I have never really believed in all of this before but since going and getting my palm read, I have changed my mind. I would recommend anyone in doing it, its a good experience.

My Palm Reading!!!!

Went to get my palm read today for research for the body project, it was such a good experience...heres what she said.

-I was a strong independent girl and don't like being told what to do.
-I don't like being bossed around, and I have my own mind.
-I was going to live to the age of 89
-One marriage
-I was going to have 3 kids, 2 boys and a girl.
-Later on in my career I will take a challenge which will pay off and I will be successful.
- I will drive a sports car.
-My boyfriend loves me, but I don't realise yet.
-When I am older I would live a Happy life, stay out of trouble and have alot of love around me.

I was well happy with that reading, but then again she could of said that to everyone!!! I f it ends up correct though I would be really happy!!!

Spooky eh?

Good News

Had Animation this morning....good news...we have another week for completion!!!! I am well happy about it. I was getting pretty worried with all the work I had to do all in for the same week, and it's a bit of a struggle to get the computers at uni to use motion. And when you DO use motion it freezes, or quits unexpectedly or takes ages to save! Rubbish Program! grrr.
I have finished the next 10 frames in my storyboard with all the filters an behaviors on them, the next bit of my animation is a bit harder so I am glad Ellie has given us an extra week!!!
