My website at the minute.

WELL IT WORKS!
but its really plain and not all filled in yet :/ i know i want a header and stuff but not sure gonna wait til wednesday to ask how to do it as this is my last week. just gonna plan out what header i want and all that jazz but at the minute its pink like this...

This week: interactive.

We learnt typography today, need to make a decision on wether i want to use this or not.
Im currently just making all my website functions work properly, not sure if im going to change my design. As long as the basics work i suppose it should be okay. I shall post some pictures when im finished i think.

A very early morning!

Im here an hour early, didnt notice it was 10 not 9 like before but oh well an extra hour wont go a miss. I was planning staying late anyway :) im currently going to work on my dreameaver coding ill let you know how i get on.

My visual essay.

Finally i have three practicioners, all though they may change when ive done alot of background research.

My first practicioner is Kim Turberville, she has her own production company called Indigo. She makes things like the NTA's and worked alongside Billy Connely on his shows. She's an inspiration to me as she made it from here, Nottingham. She is my aunty and all though i hardly ever see her, im so proud she's an independant woman who's made it into the business and has made it for herself. She has worked with royalty and many other celebrities and can now work all over the world.

My second practicioner is Salvador Dali, he was an artist/director/producer a complete clown to some but to others a change in history. I wold love to be an all rounder, being a producer/director and other things. His artwork attracts me strongly. Also his film is known all over for being very controversial. I would like to be able to make an image like him however not as controversial.

My third practicioner is Edward Gordon Craig, he changed image for theatre etc. I found out about him on our day trip to London. He also made a mark on history, he was also an all rounder producing and directing.

I am still doing research on all these three and I am really enjoying what im finding.

Optimisation

Well cant say i understand every word but i understand the jist of it. Just playing with it abit to make it more clear, ive realised that if a image is dithered it makes it a larger file size, PNG has alot more colour selection and JPEG is the normal save although when zoomed in it can blur alot etc. Ive downsized a JPEG 300 DPI file to see the change in quality, i will put it below.

This one is the original 300 DPI file.

This is the downsized file.

As you can see it is slightly smaller but now it is only 14.79k where as it was 42.93k. It was 2126 pixels wide by 1535 pixels high but now is only 1063 pixels wide by 768 pixels high.

This week!

Well ive been reading through the NOW alot as i missed todays lesson as i am ill, yet AGAIN! My immune system really is as weak as the doctor says. Gonna do som drawings for my layout, hopefully they go right. Also this week im hoping to finalise my threee practioners fro my visual essay to find more info on them in the future weeks before i make my essay. Well i have lots to do so im gonna get on with it :)!
