Starting Interactive Space! :)

Finalllllllly starting interactive tomorrow which i'm excited about as it was my favourite project last term, i've looked at the other groups blogs of what they have been doing & it does look like something i'll enjoy. Plus i'm hoping to choose it for my pathway next year! :)

Brief from the Now:

Project title: “DIGITAL ME”

Task: You are to design a 5 page interactive website using Adobe Dreamweaver that acts as a digital portfolio and promotional online resource for your artwork. This should display good design principles, a flair forself-promotion and a good understanding of the underlying coding. It should also show an understanding of the importance of networking and linking to social networks.

At your presentation: Submit the Dreamweaver source files (html, swf, etc) on a CDROM along with your presentation file/s.

In your online journal: A 500 hundred word rational describing your design decisions such as screen layout, user interaction and methods used. Provide appropriate references to support your decisions and contextualise your practise.

Influences: You will be given various links to designer and artist websites and online design resources. You should research your own particular interests and design preferences and write these up on a weekly basis in your online journal. We shall be looking for innovative and original lines of enquiry and a willingness to experiment.

Content: Via considering the various elements needed to make an interactive and multimedia website we shall explore the various aspects of incorporating graphics, video, sound and text as well as considering the
audience and social networking aspects of contemporary arts promotion. We will consider various existing designer portfolios and their methods of promotion and distribution. After completing this pathway you will be able to build an interactive and multimedia website for promotional advertising.
