Entry 17

This photoshopd photo was comprised from a combination of images. It totally represents my identity and it is self explanatory...

Different elements in this photos are used as links and they each link to either an element in a page or a whole page itself.

In the lab:

We learnt more about animations and utilizing sound in websites. We also learnt more about flash animation. For example, how to simulate raindrops landing on water creating ripples etc. Basically, learning how to create movie images and using layers and layers of images to get an efficient animation. Some examples that intrigued me was the fire, lipSync animations as well as motion blur filter, steam and looping background. I plan on simulating my beach page like these examples…whereby using layers and layers etc. We learnt about adding songs to websites... I doubt I'd be including sound in my website... due to plagiarism/copyright issues...don't wanna risk it.
