Moving on to animation....

I have moved on from graphic interface design and am now taking and teaching 3D modeling and animation classes. I am excited to be doing both. I really want to learn more about animation. I am having some difficulty coming up with a story for my animated short, but I am working on it...I will post some images this weekend of my character design and some story ideas.

oops...two missing html demos...

Zen Garden/Css Demo
Spry Insert

Flash Website

Flash Website

I was much more comfortable working in flash versus html. The html site never seemed to work quite right no matter how much time I put into it. The formatting in Dreamweaver was not as intuitive as flash.

Flash Typography poster and animation



I was not very happy with how the poster turned out for this but I feel that the animation is more successful.

my html site or "a failure from which I learned alot"






So web design is much harder than I realized it would be and Dreamweaver kind of drove me crazy. I felt like I was not ever able to actually see what something would look like and I had to nudge divs and then view in browser so often I was hating Dreamweaver by the end of this project. I know that I was not creating this in the most optimal way and I did a project that was way, way too big in scope for my first project. I actually did not create a complete site because of it's size and I spent entirely too much time trying to make a complex navigation system work that ultimately was pointless because I had designed navigation to have redundancies. I will work on a much narrower project for my flash site and I will try to have a solid basic site instead of having things in it that I don't understand (like java script) and therefore cannot troubleshoot. I am not loving web design today, but I really felt (at around 3 am) that I was understanding a few things better.
