Template Images. Fail.

So once I'd done my "drawings" and sketches on what I wanted from the template images, I needed to actually get the pictures. So travelling around I managed to collate all the images of consoles I needed and then uploaded them to my mac to start editing them. Once I got them on the mac, the pictures turned out terrible. They were un-usable, blurred and very grainy. I was particularly unhappy after all the work I had put in that the end product wasn't great. I decided to scrap the pictures and I'll have to find some stock images of the products I needed for the template, as It is obvious that taking the pictures wasn't working for me. Hopefully the in-game images which I take will be usable, I don't forsee a problem with those.

Website Design

Ok, so It may be overly ambitious, but throughout the lecture today I've been putting my non-existant drawing skills to the test my planning out what I think I could do with my basic page layout. I'm going to be using pictures of gaming consoles/smart phones to make up most of the website template. I think it might be a little bit overcrowded but it'll be easier to scale down if I start big and work backwards. About to set off for my parents with my camera to take some pictures and get started!

Header for the Website!

I think I've had a relatively good idea for the header of my website 'Girl Gamers'. All I need to do now is put pencil to paper and put my very, very limited drawing skills to use and try and come up with a working prototype. Mostly for the images, I'll be using images from actual PC games. I'll need to take those too!

The Website!

Spoken with Mark!


After my last minute idea for a website with babies, which to be honest was particularly last minute desperate idea. After the first two lectures I thought the website had to be something out of my comfort zone in what I would normally create, that isn't entirely true seemingly and now I'll be creating a website one Gaming, not sure what aspect of gaming, but the website is going to be aimed at Women. Which if we think about it is out of my comfort zone if we consider the audience, I look forward to some of the research I'll need to do for this website. Now I've updated all of you, I must run and let Mark teach us about

tags in CSS.

I'm Back! New Media Production here I come!

I'm Back.

Indeed, I am. Year two of University now and we're in the second term and its now 2010! I think that's you all updated to where and the time of these blogs, now to the why! I've just started this course 'New Media Production' with lecturer Mark Smith. Basically for 'New Media Production' we've got to create a Website on a certain subject or company, I submitted my brief to Mark via email on Monday, I was really struggling for any ideas until about 11pm on Monday night when I was looking at Rose sleeping when I thought I'd see if Mark was applicable with the idea that I created a website on babies! Something I still don't know a great deal about even though I have a one month old, So I suppose creating this website might even help me in the long run with Missy Rose.

Anyway back to business. Just got to wait to see if Mark likes the idea or not. If not I suppose its back to the drawing board. I'll update this once I've spoken with Mark!
