Warning! Project Update

So after a day to work out my project I have, not surprisingly, decided to travel down a different route . Initially i wanted to incorporate music, but decided that a poject involving music was not the way i wanted to go for my first project. After thinking it over a couple times I decided that i wanted to further another project i did last semester that involved outlines of photographs. I decided to pick one of my favorite actresses as the starlight; Rachel McAdams, because i believe she possesses a natural beauty. I wanted to have a picture collage or even just a single photograph of her on my page. Her features would be outlined and grouped together so that her hair, eyes, face, neck, lips, and shirt were different "parts." The idea is that when the viewer moves the mouse over a certain part, the part changes in pattern and color. Im really trying to show how different patterns and colors work when they are applied to the human shape. I will add on to this project according to how much of the intial picture i get done and how much more I can add given the due date.

I have listened to music a lot today and have decided that i would like my project to incorperate some music that i like and frequently listen to so that i feel that the project has a musical part of my personality. It's a done deal, I'll just have to see how things translate tomorrow when i begin working on the project

Project Ideas

So i've been going over some possible project ideas this weekend and well....let's just say that i don't have a plethora of them. This project has little to no boundaries which makes it rather challenging. I suppose since it is the first project I'm not quite sure what is expected of me or how I will compare to other students in the class seeing as I know nothing about action scripting and my only real help on this project will be due to the fact that I do know how to work Macromedia Flash pretty well. I have decided that i want to do something that will be rather appealing to any audience it might have. I would like anyone looking at it to have to look at it for a while and to kind of get wrapped up in whatever it is. I feel that my real ideas will come to me when im actually doing work on the project.

Exploring the internet as a medium

For my first post I am going to attempt to find a couple internet examples of what our first project might be like. The first project is titled No "content" Web Sketch. I suppose this could mean that what we are going to create does not really have a specific purpose or meaning behind it, but that it will be created mainly for the purpose of existing in cyberspace. This project may even be interactive. I will post the links to sites that I feel could be good examples of this project. I might also use these sites as a reference in the future.
Example #1

I believe this site fits the "exists in cyberspace but doesnt seem to fulfill a purpose or meaning".....bill, and that is exactly why im posting it. I think this "game" leans in the same direction as this first project will.
