Final Web Crit

Had final web cirt this morning, I just have a few things to tweek out on my final website design, My portfolio page is going to have a left hand side drop down section as you scroll over the portfolio title at the top. I will have Visual Communication, Typography, Photography, Illustration and Animation in my drop down icon....I am having problems keeping the options there when you scroll over the Portfolio title, they disappear.....I can't work out how to keep them visable if you move the mouse of the Portfolio title. They appear when you scroll over the portfolio title and disappear when you move the mouse off it....hmmmm. Looks like I will need to mess around with fireworks to see if I can make that work....hopefully I will be able to do it before hand in!!!!

Light workshop part 2

Light Workshop

Animation Continued....

Had Animation again today....started looking at Filters and Behaviours to put in my animation...upto now all I've used fade in/out!! I have done upto the 5th frame on my storyboard after this lesson...it would be so much easier if I had the program at home!!! Tried to download it, but in this case macs are worse than P.Cs!!1

Panicking!!

Just had lesson with Thomas yesterday morning on web design.....he wants us to start linking our pages now, so as you click onto the home page, your other pages are linked to it.

He got us in little groups which was good because we got more time with him to discuss our website and got our questions answered, if we had any problems.

I changed the front page a little bit and also changed the lay out of my portfolio page. I am a bit worried about linking all the pages together because it looks complicated, Thomas says its easy once you do it a few times. Although I have never used Fireworks or Dreamweaver!!!!

Wish me luck!!

Changed designs for website.

Final Ideas of layouts and designs....

Hey everyone!

Posted my final designs up for my website.....ALTHOUGH.....I think I have changed my mind on the front page. After the crit last Thurs, Thomas made a really good suggestion about my link pages. Instead of them being on the right hand side on my front page, he suggested that I should have them pop up as you scroll over the little rectangles that surround my logo.

So as you scroll over the red, 'Contacts' will appear in the clear white rectangle next to it, and so on. This design makes it more interactive for the viewer. 

Had lecture on Fireworks and dreamweaver....it looks rather simple when our lecturer Thomas does it....however when I tried to have a go...it didn't go so well. haha.

Hopefully I will get the hang of it!!!

Fingers crossed! xx
