I’ve done a little web design in the past, and I remember the frustration </span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">as being enough to etch a new stress line into my forehead. However, I’m pleased to say that this time my experience is a completely different one.<br /></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36.0pt"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">I’ve had a portfolio website before as an amateur, but I never really enjoyed much success with it. My techniques and software knowledge at the time were quite cumbersome and rudimentary. So I decided I should try and start with a clean slate this time. Try and apply some of what I have learned in my time back in eduation.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">The idea behind the website was to create something that marks me instantly as an illustrator, but still retain some ambiguity as to what my work is about. I decided that if I was going to have something hand drawn on the website, that I would want the rest of the site to be simple and clean. But the website would center around this illustration. Encouraging the visitor to explore. It would have to be interactive, which I achieved easily with simple rollovers.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">My usual preferred colour scheme is a dark one, so I stuck with it . It’s something that has always seemed to speak of me. I chose the orange colour because I had tried it on my blog and it had worked quite well on top of the dark grey. It was easy to theme my site around this restricted palette, because it all follows a similar visual language.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">Also one new thing to me is blogging. I’m very lax when it comes to publishing online, and keeping a blog has made me realise that. One thing that has put me off it is the fact that I haven’t figured out how to put the blog itself onto my site. I think once it is integrated in one of the pages it will encourage me to use it</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"> But the main thing now is that i have gone from an idea that i've always wanted to use but never realised, to having something tangible that i can further modify to my needs. I've managed to bag a name and a theme that i enjoy, one that i think is unique. It's starting to feel good to have an online presence again.</span></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment-->Notahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177082188312503236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417835764160029905.post-2191799978616264142009-10-25T10:40:00.000-07:002009-10-25T11:24:48.879-07:00hoping to score website is up!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://hopingtoscore.com"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihmmnH9Zse5N6bjDup_fMrNdO5Bc67v8X69nrxCQtS3NC1YrM1Bc8b7onbebRAIGUs2InmUBm8WuoXz32OPe8nGWrjvnyRJ-V0I62ax_FcShgtqK7O-yqLMeoJhcF6qjm9ieVOWh0hxVwA/s400/favicon+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396604358234669762" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Just finished uploading the site, we are now live!<br /><br />Still to do:<br /><ul><li>put more work up</li><li>figure out how to move this blog and have the feed to a age on my site, either with wordpress (preferably) or keep it here on blogger.</li><li>phpbb to go up</li><li>favicon doesnt work and i dont know why..<br /></li></ul>other than that...we're done!Notahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177082188312503236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417835764160029905.post-10163468366604448382009-10-23T16:32:00.001-07:002009-10-23T16:34:13.877-07:00Webspace<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Well, even though i have webspace already via uni, i've decided to get some anyway from one.com - incluing my new domain http://hopingtoscore.com (which as the crux of it really, i mean i could get it a few quid cheaper...but at least now i'm guaranteed i can host pretty much whatever i want thats inside the t&c's...

I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to games - my first computer was an amstrad CPC with a tiny green monitor...and the games were all on audio tapes and took 30 minutes to load (heh.) I'm going to try and get it to lok right first of all, and then try both vectoring the shape of it and also making it look real. whichever looks the best might become animated in flash with mouseover effects and sound.
