Project finalized for now. Still some bits I am unhappy about (well quite a few bits), as technical hiccups halted last minute creativity plans, ahh well…
I intend to continue working on this to get it more to how I imagined, but for now, I think it shows the direction and an idea of where I’m heading ..
Well, after 5 hours of travelling, I made it down to London to the College to help with the build. The expected technical issues arose- cables, equipment, etc. I also helped set up work for a few online colleagues who couldn’t make it. It was wonderful to finally meet Andy and the other students - especially the onliners – with whom I have build a rapport and friendship with over the last two years.
It’s been a crazy exahusting week, with little sleep or regard for health. But it will hopefully be worth it. I am happy with my work for the time being. The perfectionist in me knows that I could do so much more in time, but for now, it is enough.
I still have a couple of tweaks to make to the site, but will post it here tomorrow.
I am sure the show will be a success – it is amazing to see how everyone’s work has developed, and there is a good sense of ‘pulling together’ form the team as a whole.
I was and am still debating the use of a rollover in my site. (I can hear Andy my tutor screaming “Noooooo!” in my head!). I DO think the time is right for a revival! The one I may use is fitting with the page and the theme: it is the child archetype of the psyche (Jung) it is innocence – the youth of the internet (if you will!), and so I feel that element will work (well, for me it does!). They are reminiscent of the old childhood pop-up books, or more, the ones which had a tab to pull, which changed the picture/scene!! Ahh, we’ll see if I cave (either way!!)
Here is the second part of the image…
My PC is due to blow up shortly (please don’t!) due to insane activity….
I am blogging at this mad hour because it is rendering, well actually uploading a heavy swf to my site, and it is taking for-EVER!
I still have heaps to do: I have many pages done (bar some tweaking/smartening up) but I still have some sounds to add, some more imagery to finish, and then to link them all in a pleasing order….so not much then…. (waahhhh!)
Plan is, as I am off on a train down to London very early in the morning (this morning actually), to rubbishly link up the main pages I am concerned with (ie basic blue underlined link for now) – so I can test the site en-site as it were.
It feels like the more I get done, the more ideas I keep having to improve…. So drained now. Felt decidedly ill earlier…
This will have to be completed in full Sunday night. U2 Curation too….
Always always always on the last leg….
