image to sound-continued

This project definately has come on well...Atleast i think so/feel so. The images that im producing at the moment im really pleased with, and finally feel like i have a better understanding of illustrator. Seems rather sad that what i feel is the most professional looking piece of work that i have done in the past years is a b/w blue-print for this task, but im over the moon about it none the least.
Iv shown a few people the idea, but clearly need to be able to communicate the idea more clearly. Basically i should eb able to show the sheets and not say a word for the 'client' to understand. I think the almost real time approach is the best.
Theres several places i can set up a demo. Most likely one il use is top of the market in norwich, hopefully the boarding will still be up. Failing that the new developments at the hospital or riverside should do.
My heads hurting a bit thinking how il do this. I suppose i could film it, and then remove some of the pictures and edit them onto the movie or something. The only other idea i have is to take a series of pictures and edit each of them (inc wat wud be on the board), and then put them into flash. Or even a mix. Take pictures of someone doing these movements, in rapid successesion, and film it aswell. Try layer the images into the movie......have to talk to kiki or dave about that.
hmmm....loiking it:D

Ethics..continued=website

This project has been really racking my mind. The first time that i'v approached a website for a practical/universal use. Previous ones have been more of a creative piece, so iv enjoyed developing it. But this one, im learning how to make a real website. There are so many rules for them that iv had to learn. Font is something that i deffenatly need to read more into(or atleast re-read stop stealing sheep:P)
When i first started this i was very confused, just did what first came out of my head. But iv definately learnt more about layouts. REMEMBER to always keep looking at other websites for an idea/inspiration.
I think what was hard is finding a layout/style that could continue through this site, where its a mix of 3 styles of site. Profile/Information center/magazine. But i think that iv been able to define the website as its own piece.
What dave said about turning this into PDF work i think is very true, and i will definately hold this for the end of term, when i should understand 'the rules' more.
Iv definately had alot of feedback on this, but so many different views. The people who would actually be using this site all like it and found it easy to look at/use. Tutors obviously seeing it from a design perspective are pointing out all the nigildy points in the font, the layout, the hierachy, the logo.....ect. And understandable, since thsi project is hopefully going into my portfolio, but how it is at the moment (from feedback) is great for the target audience. Part of me wants to persue this, and go forward to the AFF with it, seeing what they think of it as a possibility, not ness for the TA but also for army, raf ,ect...... There site is good, but i find flaws in it, and i think that this may be a bit of a step up....help....i dunno.
Just need to get a better understanding of webdesign before i push on with this project.
