Assessment - Folder Layout

Its a little rough, I know, but doing this on a PC is hard.
Plus, I'm not sure of what exactly I'm meant to show - the folders themselves, or whats inside. So I did a bit of both.

Assessment - Website Presentation

Well, the website is full :) That is a shot of each page that was created. I'm glad I decided to do this, rather than just present it in Preview. I've tested it, made sure that files are in the right directories and not corrupt, I tested it yesterday when I went into TAFE, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes to plan.
I even made the site small to fit the computer we will be using - its resolution usually needs to be small.

Assessment - Presentation Order

So I've already sent it to David and Bret (as requested) but I figured if anything went wrong, this would prove that I had it done prior to Thursday.

Yes thats right - I'm almost finished and ready to present!!!

Screen Design - American Beauty Intonation

Well, I completed half of it. I got 31 seconds of it done. I know that it isn't all of what I wanted to have finished, but I really hated this brief, as it had been drawn out for so long. I struggled to keep my motivation high with it, so I did my best. What I completed is quite good imo, and I plan to pick this project back up and finishing the other 30-odd seconds another time.

But right now, I'm happy with it.

Assessment - Notes

I've been exporting a lot of my work today from Illustrator. I didn't get a whole lot done that I can show on here just yet, but I thought it would be best to keep this updated.
I plan on going into TAFE tomorrow and putting my large files on the server there, so that they're ready to go for Thursday. Plus, I've left one piece of work (which I've completed) at TAFE which I don't have the final copy for here at home, so I need to grab that to chuck into the presentation.

Wednesday I will be setting up the folder system to screenshot and email to David and Bret along with getting all of the exports into the web layout and making sure I have necessary .swf and .ppt files to present, along with ALL the working files to hand over "just in case".

I hate getting everything sorted... It can get very confusing.

Screen Design - Write on effect

I totally forgot about putting this exercise on here. Very simple, mask using write-on effect and a scribble effect.
Kind of cute I guess :)

Assessment - Web Layout Design

Okay, so since we got the email about how assessment day needs to go, I started to create a simple layout that will showcase still images and my two websites in it.
I've come across a few bumps in my code, but I have finally gotten the layout sorted, and now I'm ready to sit down and create the imagery for this - which I assume will take awhile, as I will need to export everything... But! I would've had to have done that anyway, so its all good :)

Manage Marketing Strategies - Corporate Identity (Prepress Artwork)

Yay! This means that this brief is now officially complete. I do not enjoy doing this, so I put it off... Always a bad idea.

Prepare a Proposal - Occupational Health & Safety Essay

Completed. It may not be super-fancy like the BP essay, because I couldn't find any images I liked to incorporate into this. But it is finished, so I'm happy :)

Interactive Studio - Flash Interactive

Finished. Oh my god, its finished. THANK EFFING GOD! Bret and I had a horrible time trying to figure out problems yesterday. URGH.

I officially wash my hands of this project.

Web Design - Personal Website Update

I have finished my website! I finished it last night at TAFE, but its done. Woo!

Web Design - Personal Website update

So lately I've been working on filling out the portfolio section of the website, but also keeping it realistically simple and not put in too much content/pages/images/etc. I'm almost finished - I just need to fill out the photography part with some more things.


I also figured out a simple and easy way to incorporate the litebox javascript that bret showed us in class. I have used it before, so I understood the code a bit. I figured out a simple way to make litebox galleries just by using one image - works nicely, and saves using heaps of different pages!

Marketing Strategies - BP Essay

Okay - this has been a long time coming, but IT'S FINALLY FINISHED! I have finally put my butt into gear and gotten this blasted essay completed. I wrote it up in Word, spell-checked it and then put it into InDesign with pretty pictures.
I just hope I haven't missed anything from the list of points to comment from. But its finished! Yay!

Screen Design - Kenetic Typography

This is still a work in progress, so bare with me. I just wanted to update this blog with what I am currently up to in this assignment.

This will be the last thing I finish before assessment week, as I have been putting it off due to a lack of enthusiasm about it. Oh, and don't mind the cut-off audio at the end of it, as I said; this is still a work in progress.

Interactive Studio - Camera Interactive

Just a screen shot of my Flash file for my interactive camera. This is slowly coming together, but I currently need more help with my Action Script. It looks ugly inside Flash, but it looks better when it is played.

Marketing Strategies - Self Promotion Finals

I do have to simply create the prepress artwork for the business card and letter head pages, so this is almost complete. This is all of the designs that were required (plus a little extra).

Prepare a Proposal - Product Design Animation

Finally completed, this is my Flash animation of the practice that we were given for the Southern Cross Packaging Awards competition that is now underway (due late July sometime). This is not interactive, and simply plays out. Created within Adobe Illustrator and Flash.
