Yes, another semester, another year. Time really is flying by. Well, only when I'm not thinking about it. Anyway, motion graphics. Progress? Is a Beluga. Took about an hour to finish. That is all. Now have some beluga goodness! beluga.png beluga.jpg

So many of us were having problems centralising our websites for Web Design 2. I feel kinda stupid now that I've found the solution to be so simple. I kept telling people that I had no idea how to centralise the website using CSS, so I kept advising them to use the "margin-left" property. After some research (looking at the source code of perfectly centralised sites) and other research (

So, yes. Went to KL today for some photo-taking happy fun time. I's still pretty n00b, so please don't say anything, lawl. This is a short entry. Now has some n00bshots, nyeh! Random alleyway near Petaling Street, KL. Colourful umbrella and shades, Petaling Street, KL. A couple nice enough to let us take their picture, Kota Raya, KL. Going up the stairs. Overhead bridge

The Internet is a beautiful thing. Access to online tutorials is also a beautiful thing. Below is a list of tutorial URL's that I may be referencing for the development of this project. 1.

A good way to know how to arrange your information is to look at how other similar websites arrange theirs. Below are some restaurant websites that caught my attention for both design and information hierarchy. 1. Barley's Greenville. I liked this site for a number of reasons. The main one being the way in which the menu was laid out. Although it does not have supporting pictures for each item

Below are four commercial websites that I was pretty impressed with. The thing that all 4 of them have in common is the clear navigation and beautiful design. I believe the design is beautiful because the corporate identity is very apparent in each site. 1. Rohm and Haas. 2. conEdison. 3. McDonald's. 4. Levi's Strauss.

Below is a roundup of some beautiful website design, although they are not all "coffee" websites, they are still an inspiration, methinks. 1. Corvus Design. 2. Oddo Design. 3. Rocket Club. 4. Edgepoint Church.

To be honest, when I got "Pappa Rich" as the site I had to redesign, I wasn't expecting it to be...that bad. Because firstly, their outlets are pretty well done. I was surprised at how poorly the site was constructed. No offense! Anyway, to the obvious next step when attempting to revamp a design; Competitor analysis! 1. Starbucks, Malaysia. Events Page Home This is actually one of the

So, I have to redesign the website for Pappa Rich, Malaysia. Below are some screenshots of the pages that I felt could use the MOST improvement: The homepage could definitely be more interesting, >_<. The Menu page could be better layed out. Too much text, poor alignment, no mood to read, >_<. The HTML Table border gives me lols.

So the new semester has begun. This semester's brief requires us to redesign an existing corporate website. Below is the first part of initial planning: Gantt Chart, blergh! Below is the site map of the existing website. There are quite a few things I would like to propose to change. I will cover that in a coming post, stay tuned! Site Map, for serious!

Evolution is a given. Everything evolves. And in my opinion, technology evolves faster than most everything else. Today, the lecturer asked what the differences were between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Honestly, I've always wondered but never got around to finding out properly. So after doing some research, I have compiled a list of the key differences from my understanding: Web 1.0 Was read only

For one of our Typography for Digital Media projects, we have to make a weather report in motion. Kinda thing. Like faux motion graphics. But using Flash. Anyway, I am seriously having trouble trying to storyboard that shit, so I looked at some references on YouTube. I know it's not exactly what we're trying to achieve, but inspiration nonetheless. 1. Pulp Fiction in Motion Graphics: 2.

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

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.

On the Web Design 1 front, there have been a few "drastic" changes made to my project. I don't know if I can call them improvements, so I guess I'll just call them changes. Anyway, I won't write a long long post detailing all the said changes, so don't redirect away from this page. I will, however, mention that I've decided to try out a horizontal scrolling layout. So this is just a little post

Yes, just doing some random Flash Tutorials for Actionscript 3.0 Came across this one that was only 15 steps, so I thought I'd try it out. Click here to see the actual tutorial page. That is all for now.

Visual Fundamentals 2 is a relatively fun subject. And I need to make an update, so I shall follow this falla's good example and post people drinking coffee or tea or [insert hot beverage of choice]. I had a lot of fun doing this particular assignment. The actual colouring didn't take very long, but I spent a really long time sketching it because my proportion is – how to say – uhm, fail? Yes,

Yes, I am in a "lame-blog-titles" mood today, >_<. This is a continuation of the last post. A proposed flowchart for the Website. It probably raps better than certain rappers anyway, just saying. As usual, click to enlarge and that sorta shizz, feel me?

This is the next part of the project development. Creating a moodboard to show the overall feeling and direction of the site. I don't really know if I did it right, but this was sorta what was in my head when I think of what the website will look like. In other news, I do believe I need to post my flowchart too. Anyway, moodboard below. Click to enlarge and all that jazz.
