iv'e finally blogged!!!

after years of suspense.....ive finally uploaded some work.............unfortunately as i seem to lack basic computer skills, ive uploaded them in the wrong order, so look at them from bottom to top!!! whooops!!!

i've just been playing around with the ideas for the info page really, i really liked stevens idea of using the lined paper so ive just been futher looking into the lined paper/handwritten type idea and used a few images (town hall drawing from main page) in the background to link it to the original page.

see eveyone tomorrow!!









more ideas


info link pages




major oak
wollaton hall
nottingham castle
(sorry about the photos ya'll, but i dont have a scanner at home :)

12 o'clock 2moro sounds good, plus all day tuesday is everyone is cool with that? we got lots of work to do!
we need to come up with a style that works for every page, so lests discuss this tomorrow.. hopefully we can include all the styles in some way

meeting tomorrow

hey there everyone!!!

oooh i like your info page alison!! im gonna upload some stuff of mine in a bit!!! unfortunately folks ive come home for the weekend and my train has been cancelled..........again, however i'll be getting the early train back tomorrow morning but it still means that i may not get back until at least 12!!! ill give someone a text to keep you posted then i can come in and meet you guys!!!

TOMORROWS MEETING

what time do you want to meet?
and where?



hey, i'm working on the info page and how to lay it out. was thinking an idea like this. John says we need to have 3 different places to go once we get to main page. so for the info, was thinking about dividing info into 3 segments: one with things to do, one graph, and one with facts. with these i was going to draw it up in a similar way but intstead of the market square, i am going to do the castle, ye olde trip to jerusalem, and and a tree (representing sherwood forest). what do you think? i am still going to figure out the font..

PUNKED

i went to todays lesson at 3.30 but knowone was in the room and all the others were being used by the print groups. sorry, i tried to make it but today is turning out to be a very bad day! hopefully tomorrow will be better.

p.s mark could you email me the finished town square and girls could you post the info you have found on the blog. as over this weekend im going to build a site so that on monday we have something to work on/with (use as a template). or if you like enough only minor change and use

is this ok with everone?
Steven

opening page


i created an opening page that i think we should use for our site! at the moment its sound free but ive put it on dreamweaver and activated the links.
i cant upload the animaton but here is a screen shot of what i have done thismorning in dreamweaver. the tram moves in from the left and ive tried to go for a flickbook style image to keep with the lined paper.see you in a bit.
Steven

info layout plan..

also, does anyone have any ideas on how we should layout the info? i'm a bit confused as to how to do it! so that it will work with the rest of the website..

In response to your idea..

hey, sorry about not posting alot of things on here.. was going to scan some things in..
in regards to doing it on notebook paper.. i like! but what about graph paper?
The info me and Rachel are putting on are things like: stats, things to do for deaf people in the city, the types of deafness there is, and just general facts and info...

Oooops!

Alreet mate,


I have been in since 11 and i nearly forgot that we were supposed to be in the lower mac room cause when i checked at 11 it was full.. so went to the upper mac room sorry mate, i thought that i saw u come into the upper mac room but as i went out to check u werent there! and the i found Racheal downstairs and alison had txt me to say that she would be late.. so im crackin on with the Panaramic page... see u at 3.30...

Mark

USE OF BLOG!!

GUYS the reason we use the blog is so we can show work and get ideas across quickly! if your not using it then there is no point of it! i have sent some pictures that i was expecting comments on but i doubt they have even been viewd. i was also in the aranged room at 12. there was no free computers and i couldnt find anyone so i came home, i thought there is no point being there if i couldnt use flash/dreamweaver. ALISON & RACHEL what have you found? do you guys know yet what facts were using?

REPLY!!!!!!!!!!!

STEVEN

as requested



here are the layout designs i did the other day. can we get the site map and other peoples stuff on here aswell!!! it seems to be just me and mark who use this site! let me see what you have done!
the second image is showing what i mean by contents on lined paper. what do you think?

Just an idea

Sunday, 28 October 2007



Hey,

Yeah i have done similar sort of thing too,
i like the idea of the tram moving through the ear at the beginnin of the site on the opening screen...




Mark

Rite well the latest update is...
Basically came in on monday and had to do our dot and pin excersice, the target from that is to give some direction to ur information for our site, i hadnt managed to get and research together over the week end because of work and stuff but anyway we didnt have our angle or content so what we did with the help of the tutors is worked out another take on our work. We came up with the idea of Deaf peoples interaction with nottingham and raise awareness to how Deaf friendly nottingham is... So today (tuesday 23rd) we've (me and Alison) bin out and taken some photos and collected some sounds from arround nottingham and we are just uploading them now. We'll see ya at the workshop...

Theme

Hey, i was thinking we could do a series of different gestures that we see around the city.. eg. traffic signalling, gestures when at a bar, how people communicate when their far away from eachother, the various greetings people give eachother.. and so on..
what do you think?
