controller makeover!

Here is my new and improved PS3 controller. I added some bevel and emboss to bring out the shape a little more. It was looking a little flat with the TV.
I increased the colour and the shadow depths also to create the new effect. I am much happier with it now.

My text Scroller in operation!

Ok this a very bad quality video of my text scroller in action.
Blogger wont allow for Flash SWFs so i had to take a video with my camera.
Its hard to see but you can get the idea. The text is continuously scrolling across the bottom of the screen with some helpful tips and facts about recycling!

small tweaks

Right so I had a chat with my supervisor yesterday and we both decided on a few changes that will make the look of the pages a little nicer. I will now have the background of each page white instead of a colour. We changed this because it was proving very difficult to match a text colour to it. Also just changed the type face again so now it is slightly easier to read it.

Recycling Fashion

Recycle Old Clothes

clothing page

Here is an idea for my clothing recycling page. When the user has clicked on an item in the house ie the Tshirt in the bedroom this page will appear which will explain how to recycle clothing and will also give the user an option to view a video showing how to recycle old clothing to make brand new items!

Getting there

Ok here is a better version of the recycling page.
I have created a bigger house and incorporated the tshirt for clothing recycling in the bedroom, the toilet rolls in the bathroom for paper recycling, the cans, bottles and glass jars in the kitchen for glass recycling and the laptop and tv in the sitting room for green computing.
There is also a car parked outside that will correspond to the transport section on recycling. Such as car pooling going to college if there are a number of students sharing a house.

rough new designs

okay. I have gone back to a very early design idea of using a house in order to change around the layout of my pages and also to reduce the amount of text on each page. I am hoping ti create a more gaming/TV interface and feel by going for more images and graphics rather than bulky text. After all a picture can tell a thousand words!
Here is a very rough sketch of what I am trying to go for. I have designed a very simple student house with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and sitting room. I am hoping to have a car or two beside the house for the transport section.

new twist

I have come up with a new idea for my pages. My pages were extremely text heavy so i have decided to incorporate different Multimedia elements into every page to make them more attractive looking and appealing to the user. Its just a way of viewing images videos and polls in an easier fashion rather than going to different pages for it.
Some designs to follow.

coding coding coding

I am up to my eyeballs at the moment trying to get my head around all the coding I need for my site. Things are linked now some temporarily so next step is adding the coding parts to it. Now if only it were that simple...!

Silver controller finally in place

Here is one of my pages with the silver controller in place. I meshed it in Illustrator which took ages but was worth it to see the end result.
This is the first page for my recycling section. The links down the side are the related ones for recycling.
