Christmas/New Year Period 3

Leading up to the first week back to official classes, I have been working on the swirling aesthetics and testing the 3d navigation system. I have also been experimenting with transparencies and working on the use of gradients to create the illusion of space, this has lead to the following iterations of the interface -



Currently, the version which I am most happy with includes the change of the title font and the exclusion of the orange outlines -



I have began working on creating drafts of the content for the "shapes" section. Knowing what I am likely to include will help with the development of idea's regarding user interaction with the interface.

Christmas/New Year Period 2

Using the theory booklets obtained from the college, combined with my own research on the subject, I have been able to finalize the content list for the project. The topics to be covered fall under the following headings -

Choice
Maintenance
Shape
Colour
Form
Lifestyle

In semester two I will begin by finalizing the interface design which will then lead onto the developement and production of the content.

Also required is the mocking of the text based content so that it can be proof read by the college.

I should be looking to source photography to support the text content if 3d is not being used.

Still to do - the developement of the swirling animated aesthetics, testing of the 3d naviation system and its related transitions, the developement of an introductory animation relating the new content list, and the testing and developement of the flash components within the interface, e.g. scrolling image boxes and text boxed, aswell as 3d element control.
