Here is a sample of the gaming header I will be using for the navigation. I created it in Photoshop. The idea is that the links for each page are on the bottom section eg. "Recycling", and the drop down menu effect is created with the half-rectangle buttons on the top section eg "Fashion" . Again the quality of the image is not the best but you get the jist of it anyway.
I am going to be using a gaming style header on the TV interface for some of the navigation for my site. The main navigation will be using the PS3 controller and will allow the user to move between pages and select items etc. The gaming header on the TV will be where the user can select the pages and items they wish to go to. I am keeping with the gaming idea throughout the site for continuity and consistency. More on the direction of the site to follow shortly!!
This is a very rough interface design for my home page. The TV was created in Photoshop, and the PS3 and its controller were created in Illustrator. I am going to have the TV and PS3 sit on a table which i plan to make in 3D Studio Max. More to follow!The quality of the picture is not the best but that cant be helped.
I have decided to use a PS3 controller and a plasma wide screen tv for my interface. i have chosen the PS3 controller because it is wireless and also extremely similar to the PSP controls. The main navigation will take place using the controller and then on screen the user can select a main topic and use the controller instead of a mouse to navigate around the site. I have decided on a wide screen tv because most houses these days have wide screens and gaming is played mostly on these.
Il have a design in the next day or two to put up here.
I received this really cool link from a friend today.

Its about "How to Recycle Fashion". There are some very clever ideas in this video clip about how to make your very own unique shopping bag which helps to save on buying plastic non-biodegradable bags every time you do the shopping. There is a step-by-step demonstration showing how to create and sew together your own bag using recycled materials such as old pairs of jeans and curtains etc. It also had quirky designs for creating sandals using rubber tires and the pockets from an old pair of jeans. Fashion can still be fantastic even with recycled materials. You are saving the planet and your pocket at the same time! What could be better??
Well I am back after the Christmas and New Year celebrations. I had plenty to think about over the break with regards to my topic of recycling. I made sure that my family recycled as much as they could this year especially the wrapping paper and also keeping and reusing the fancy bags that presents came in. It worked very well.
I also picked up the coolest bag today in the sales! Its a canvas recycled handbag and purse set by Revlon made from recycled materials. I think its a brilliant idea! I know that shops like Penney's and other high street shops have their own canvas shopping bags also but this is a "going-out" bag rather than a shopping bag.So it just goes to show that even the big name brands are getting their act together and trying to do their bit for the environment. Long may it last!!
