Site fully working

Issues to do with the centering of the POrtfolio section are resolved by altering the publish setting in Flash. And the logo pixelation and Name banner are now in vector. Testing complete, possibly some polishing up of the PF section, and type on the homepage could help the continuity of the site in general.

Online presence in social media

All of my links on my contact section of my website connect to the URL of my personal accounts. I am already on LinkedIn, Twitter & have a Flickr account for my work. There is room for developing these connections and establishing myself in the wider design world. I made my site primarily as an exercise in a new program, and has developed my understanding of graphics for web. This will be a major part of the course I am studying next year at Salford University. Design for digital media needs a broad understanding of programs platforms and possible outcomes. I follow some designers on Twitter and am often checking the tinyurl links they post up, leading me to different perspectives and fresh ideas in design. Such as Erik Spiekerman, who recently posted some amazing free programs for my Mac.

There are still a few bugs on my site, the portfolio section needs sorting out, but I think with some perseverance it will come good.

Initial comments on live site

website is live

Still with some bugs though, but it's getting there. Just need to sort out the portfolio section and possibly the resolution on the topbar graphics.

Action Script 3

After presenting my website in Uni, I realise that for my purposes I will be better off converting my design files from .PSD to Illustrator. Using the smaller file size, and vector type will look cleaner. Time to put some hours in on Flash!

Adding sound and video to the site

I have added a movie clip in situ to my site. Fun experimenting with audio in web for the first time!

Getting there with FL.

Time has come for the hardcore getting to know code hours. I'm trawlering my way through it, trying to pick up the language and funny capital letter, no capital letter'ness of it all.
