Week 8 lecture - 20/03/13

I have been considering lately whether it would be a good idea to create a logo for myself and have it animated so that I could use it at the beginning of my showreel so that it makes myself look more professional and so that I can sell myself a bit more.

Week 7 Lecture - 13/03/2013

I signed up to wordpress today and started to look into creating my own website/blog using this website. I found out that wordpress is a fairly simple way of creating your own personal website/blog, but comes with limits such as having to pay for certain themes and to personalize your page with certain things.

Week 6 lecture - 06/03/2013

In todays lecture, we went through an online tutorial from blackboard that showed us how to work in a software called Adobe InDesign. We were able to add simple animation to a picture that we had cut out in photoshop. The end result looked quite professional and is something that would work really well on our own website.

For example, we could have some writing on the screen, and in flies in a picture of a drawing that we have made that relates to the text. This is similar to the effect you can generate in powerpoint, but instead, InDesign is more versatile and allows a lot more freedom with creating animated graphics.
