Same But Different


We had a few lectures and seminars on this which resulted in a group project made up of the same group as our last group project (Stella Rimington) minus a few people.  In this project we took photographs of apples and catelogued them in a website which allowed the apples to be searched by colour, where they were bought, and the name of the apple.  We designed a minimalistic site which was effective.  Unfortunatly when showing it to the rest of the seminar group, it did not show on the projector.

e4 Indentity Project

I have been working on this on and off throughout the easter holiday and have so far done:

• Animation - 85/90%  -  I actually restarted my animation from scratch but realised I prefered the original when I looked back so I am now just tweaking the original, incorporating some of the changes from my newer version.  An old version is available on my website, I will add a link here some time when i find the link
  

• Website - 15/20%?  -  I have kept restarting this as at first I was slowly working my way through learning CSS, but the designs I was coming up with were too basic and finding it too complicated to make what I visualized in that way.  I then started a flash only website which I found a lot quicker to make but looked quite unproffessional.  I then started creating a third website which would use html/CSS but with bits of flash incorporated within it.  I created a side menu for this in flash and placed it in a website, but I have changed my idea of how it should look slightly.  I edited the existing e4 logo for my page, which I quite like and think works well.  I have an screenshot showing this page (I used the logo again as a filler background).  I am using this logo for my new design but the sidebar as it looks in the picture is not how it will look in my final site.

• 

• Leaflet - 0% - A lot of this will be reusing images from the website and animation so this should not take long.

I plan on having all three of these nearing completion by the end of the easter holidays.  I have been working on and off on these, but towards the end of the easter will be working more solidly to finish off these projects.  

I will upload the flash only site as well as provide links to my animation and provide screen shots as my work develops.
