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!!
Happy Christmas to everyone and have a Peaceful New Year!!
Today I had a little bit of an achievement...I completed a Java Practical!! I am very happy with myself over it. And thanks to my classmates who gave me a hand with it.
So over the Christmas I will be refining my design ideas and getting to work on the interactivity side of the site and taking a look at coding it also.
Only 13 more sleeps until Christmas!!!!
Right. Well I had my big Design Presentation today. It went okay. Not spectacularly brilliant by any means. So my next big step is to move onto the back end of the project. I have the idea for my design and next thing I need to have is the code and the database knowledge to run it.
Now...if only I could understand Java...this might take awhile!!
This is an design idea for the main pages of my site using the PSP console. I will be keeping to the workings of the PSP as much as is possible. Such as, trying to keep the meanings of the buttons similar if not the same as the actual console. The icons will hopefully work the same as the PSP too so people will be familiar with the way that the icons move from right to left when you use the left and right arrow buttons on the console.
