Final Year Options

29th February, 2008

The time has come for me to decide which final year modules I shall be taking for i-dat and its shaped up thus:

Dissertation (20 credits) and BSc Project (40 credits) – these aren’t exactly optional, they must be done.

IDAT310 Design for Entertainment Systems (20 credits) – we’ve already formed a group to work on this with and hence…

IDAT323 Programming for Entertainment Systems (20 credits) – …someone will need to have studied the programming side. I also expect to be able to use 3D, DirectX and C++ perhaps in my final year project.

IDAT311 Scripting for Digital Media (10 credits Autumn term) – Some hopefully familiar turf studying OOP in Flash and producing ‘something that does something’.

IDAT312 Narrative and Digital Form (10 credits Spring term) – should be nice apparently to study while writing my own dissertation.

 

I’ve also realised this is the only time I can post on this date for another four years…

One of my latest tasks is to produce 48 icons for a CMS interface!

Ocean Addict Website

20th February, 2008

I am currently working on the Ocean Addict website now alongside several other projects, for which we have decided to use WordPress as a form of CMS and integrate it with other features such as e-commerce software, a gallery and a forum.

Here is a preview of my current direction of design…

Website Design Inspiration

12th February, 2008

Because it is becoming a common occurence that I find a website that I find particularly inspirational, whether that be for its graphical design or a particular way of structuring what would normally be a very ordinary feature, and never really noting down the URL.

Now I could tag these sites using del.icio.us under something like ‘inspiration’ but I think I would rather also have more specific information or notes and possibly a screenshot to add some context.

So I shall be recording these websites on a page here.
