After many back and forth back and forth swings, back to the original theme of a fall into the unconscious.
times against me, due to my own ridicolous prioritising, a mistake i refuse to make again, but an altogether do a bubble project.
research into a few different options, possibilites, and rough sketching has revealed this theme to be my front runner.
i did a few thumbnails, rough ideas da da da jazz hands
very rough. and decided on what i thought i wanted to do in the beginning. a smooth scroll using javascript, and a load of weird hidden quirks. courtesy of javascript.

voyage garble
Finally settled on a theme, after much deliberating, and countless hours spent researching diamond heists.
I really wanted to do Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid, or even the Antwerp diamond heist, but after an age spent scouring the depths of the internet, it hit me i've left the whole thing too late to be able t do either of the stories justice.
Back to the literal drawing board.
hahaha i know this image is absolute dogmuck. but after reverting back to my original theme, a fall into the unconscious, i decided maybe illustrating it via computers might be the way to go. I hate it, this is just a rough mock up of the first page.courtesy of Adobe software, soory maate, i think i prefer my stolen asda fineliner.
production of images begins monday.
I fancied having a go in a different media, I'm always complaining about my work looking amateurish and adobe does give a more professional edge, i just hate it. I'm going to give it another go, in photoshop before settling on a mix of handrawn and edited illustrations.
I knoww whatcha thinking. and i hereby promise to make this project a web orientated number. Ive sketched, (and since i can see youre itching to know will upload soon) the ways i wish to manipulate javascript. nothing mindblowing, im but a rookie.
right off you sod.

initial voyage concepts
meant to scan these in a while ago. all sketch booked up, although im massively late in getting stuck in. whole idea of an open ended brief war' about overwhelming despite my initial thoughts.
Above is a brain storm, similar t what i did for animation actually, cos that project went pretty well. Its all the initial ideas i thought might be worth a go. I was into the idea of a journey through time, like the victorians or egyptians or something education sorta horrible histories for kids. Fancied havin a go at a prison break or something, but me mother talked me outta that one and towards the idea of a fall into unconsciousness.
Always going to be aimed towards kids, theres loads of cbeebies websites and games for kids, but most of them are tediously dull,or dumbed down. not for me. but isaac obviously. i reckon theres a huge niche for like a simple but still interesting and engaging site/game. Going to spend as much of this year as i can gearing my work and briefs towards kids, cos thats pretty much the place i wanna end up when i finish uni, if my neonhive love gets me nowhere of course haha.
bitta further thinkin into me inital idea.
Been surfing through blogs and theres a boy in th class doing a trip through space, put me off the unconscious idea cos i kinda wanted to do the same thing, a constant falling, with a person always in the same place on the screen, background moving around em. like when alice falls down the rabbit hole. His looks intimidatingly professional, haha a standard i never hit.
gonna do some initial drawings as to where id go with the historical and the dream theme, do abit of investigative research into how id go about both then chose one. massively rushed for time so gotta get on it. typography, illustrative stuff, wireframing and actual coding gotta be done asaaap.
opinions on which theme pleasee.

WEB 2.0 GRAPHIC
in the shorta undeveloped style i wanna douse the voyage project in
just re read the brief and it asks for 500 words about web 2.0 graphics. ill give you about 10.
web 2.0 has a distinct graphical style, alot to do with the way multimedia and graphics are merging. its clean cut, relies heavily on negative space, and is pretty arsh but bright.
flatspot.com is a great example. check it

Captain Benns and the internet tree
Group diagram of the Internet including all the key players made with a selection of different coloured post it notes - Explanation for the idiots among you.
Sort of task you do at school in year 6, but a good starting point from developing our individual ideas. One fo the groups did a kind of rain onto tree onto earth version, but we stuck to doing as little as possible.
Kindly and nervously presented by Ollie Benns cos we all chickened it at the news of it mobile filming.
We got a bit muddled when it came to sites such as soundcloud and last fm which are music but fit under social networking as well. Think we missed off some of the browsers and add ons, pretty much anything we couldn’t comprehend. It was one of those tasks that made me feel a bit OCD. I want to be able to label everything but some stupid sites wont fit in my boxes.
Beauty of the Internet I spose.

Social Networking
Social networking is something thats pretty quickly taken over.
Using facebook you can get your work on the t'internet and out there for anyone ad everyone to take a peek at.
Just gotta sit back and wait to be discovered.
By creating a twitter, and facebook and blogger, and the rest theres a load of good stuff happening.
It's a platform to get noticed, its an online portfolio to show people already interested, its an easy way to back up your work. haha
I think im supposed to be talking about how I'm going to use facebook to my advantage by setting up a page on facebook, which can manage fans. I tried, but it turns out I've only got 8 true friends.
went very bad on me.
In all seriousness I would like to utilise the power of social networking to get myself and my work out there, and hopefully generate some interest and work. Actually getting round to it is another thing. I made a rushed facebook page, in order to link it to my website, but as of yet havent had the time to sit down and prepare a serious one. Once this project is over and hopefully for my next attempt I'd like to get to grips with this kinda thing. One of my friends from DeMontfort has, and he's smashed it, generated a lot of buzz for himself. I'm not gonna write who cos his ego's big enough already. Twitter is somewhere I'm really never gonna go tho. haha sorry Shaun Belcher.
I think I'll have to design my next contact page which the idea of social networking in mind, it seems to be the future, and a lot of indie bands, artists, and all sorts have made it because of facebook, sad as that is.
