Make sure design intents are up-to-date and include modifications you may have had in previous discussions with us/ classmates.

Those people without server space- meeting today to further explain and get you online.
The rest that already have server space need to check they can…
- optomise a PowerPoint so it is as small as possible
- zip it/ archive it
- upload it to server
- link to it off Blog as an addition to your design intent post.

Those people that missed critique on navigation must present today.

On the LANshare there is a DMDN206 directory with film footage of your critique on Tuesday.
- Open this up in Quicktime and trim to your crit
- then export at 320 by 240 resolution using the sorenson 3 codec at medium-high quality
- Check it is a resonable size, say 2-20MB
- Upload this .mov file to your server also
- Link to it from the Blog

Check with us before the end of the day how you might put your site together Flash-wise and what resources you might need.

Touch base with us quickly on visual aesthetic and precedent images gathered so far for Tuesdays PowerPoint presentation.

Hi my fellow designers I have a question as far as hosting is concerned I have found some good offers at:

What do you recommend?

Hey,

If anyone is looking for some more cool flash sites to use as precedents the Favourite Website Awards website has a whole pile of links to really great websites, a wide variety of different flash “styles”…so check it out. Brawny Academy was quite good. It kept me amused for hours (well, the videos did at least)

Enjoy,
Jenni

My object is an SLR Camera. instead of focusing on the object itself i have chosen the viewfinder as a means to portray the way we look at things when framed. I have chosen the school of architecture as my subject and in particular how to navigate the school since it’s Wiggan St addition.My precedent for how my site will portray itself is Aldo Rossi and his use of shadow to depict what can’t be seen.

Make sure that you re registered on this Blog, and that you can login. Log into the Blog, and it should appear with a blue and white interface; then click on “write post”.

Write a title and text in the text box (this can be resized by dragging the bottom right hand corner) and add a couple of images using the Photopress button in the editor (blue button that has a face on it). Browse for 2 jpegs and upload them. Then insert them into the editor using the “insert” button. Examples are below. The server will resize the images and give you a thumbnail and larger popup automatically.

Try putting a space between them using the spacebar, and try “shift-enter” to optain a single return.

Under “categories” to the right of the editor tick “student work – layered form”, this then adds it to the correct category for your hand in; or other category if appropriate.
