Hmmm, well it's that time again for the gathering of user feedback.

I do realise that my priorities are all over the place when it comes to assignments, but meh.

Anyway, blogging a few screenshots for Web Design 1 because I'm stuck on ideas for the look. The coding is still a work in progress but that shall be up once I'm done.

1. First Round:
 For this first one, I initially thought to go for a sketchy look. But the problem I faced here was the inconsistency of the pencil strokes and I didn't have enough space because the dimensions were fixed.



2. Second Round:



Ok, dramatic change here. With both design and coding. You can't see it in the screenshot, but it scrolls horizontally. And I decided to go with digitised graphics instead. Menu is fixed at the bottom, centre.



3. Third Attempt:


Ok, not much changed here, just finalised a colour scheme and changed the title banner thing, just some tweaking.



4. Fourth Go, yo.


Graphic enhancement. Menu improved, effects added. (I apologise about the lack of a protoype - It's coming). Background a bit blergh.


5. Current Look:

So this is what it looks like currently. Still feel that there's something missing or there's something that looks odd, but i can't put my finger on it, I guess I've been looking at it for 3 days straight, so that could be it.


Another shot of the current design:


Screenshot of what an actual section looks like. Format is pretty standard. The other pages are pretty similar, just the graphics are different.

I am kinda annoyed/angry/uninspired at the moment. The site is pissing me off...

Anyway, that is all for now.

Progress on all fronts is kind of slow.

Well, generally.

Anyway, this is a short assignment update. I have a few more to get through, but I'm going to take a break for now. We have received the final project brief for Visual Fundamentals and it seems doable enough. Minimum requirement: 12-frame storyboard for a tourism TV commercial for your chosen country and a poster thing for said country.

We've had our midterm for Survey of SEA Art and Culture. I don't even know the actual name for this subject, it's so long. It was also doable enough.

Web Design final project is in the works, but there is A LOT to be done. I stayed up till about 5am this morning trying to get the lightbox working. It's still not working, >_<. I can't say I am at all satisfied with the overall look but I don't know how to make it look better because I fail at drawing. !@#$

 Typo and DSM...no hope, no comment.

DGM2 is on track, but barely.

That is all for the update, I think. Now have some Haunted Mansion! Nyerh!

Back to the grind and such.

I apologise (yes, to my non-existent audience) for the lack of updates on this blog. I find it a little bit sad that a "blogging assignment" has been the reason for the revival of this blog, however, I do hope I can continue to update.

I won't make any promises, though, because I have a regular blog that I tend to neglect also. Anyway, we shall see how it goes.

Semester 5 has started and so far so good. I guess I say this because we have only had about two classes. But the two classes we have had have been pretty good.

So, anyway, we had our first Web Design 1 class today. It is probably unhealthy how enthusiastic I am about this particular subject. I have been waiting 4 semesters to start this subject, so that may be why I'm so excited about it.

Hmmm. Well, this is just a revival post – an update of sorts. I shall post my assignment entry tomorrow because I'm sick (literally) and kind of tired (physically) right now and need rest because we have a field trip tomorrow, ^_^.

And the layout for this blog is pretty ugly, I must admit. A makeover is necessary.

And that is all.

Anyway, two cute little alarm clocks! Enjoy, enjoy!
