GUI assignment

Ok, so we have an assignment. one we have had for a while, one I probably should have thought about for a while. (well, I was thinking about it. It was always linguring (thats probably spelt wrong) in my mind) but I never really, seariously thought about it. Until now. So here I am, I have 2 sketches and 1 idea and so I can begin, everything will be fine right? (Argh! im screaming on the inside). How can I do this? Flash isnt exactly my strong point.

Ok heres my idea. Im doing this GUI for what essentually will become my digital porfolio I guess, so I wanted to create something interesting, and something that is somewhat relevent to me. I like movies, so I have this idea that incorperates that into my design. Want to know what it is? Well it is a movie Cinema. As if you are standing in the back of the theatre looking towards the screen. All the seats are links and images, text and video will appear on the Cinema screen once you click them. Pretty cool huh? But now im thinking, how am I going to do that? You know those times when you think up something really cool, go to make it, but it doesnt turn out the way you wanted? yeah, thats what im affraid might happen.
Oh well, I guess all I can do is try. Why do things have to be so complicated sometimes?

$4.90 roll!

ok, this may not seem very exciting to you, but it was to me. (thats just how sad I can be sometimes, lol). Ok I discovered this place in the sturt mall that makes awsume fresh rolls. Anyway, i'd been there twice before, and you can build your own roll, and they have avacado so its cool. Anyway, I went there on the weekend and asked for a roll, like usual, but I got the most awsume roll. I wanted, chicken, ham, avacado, and cheese on a poppy seed roll. The girl who made it made it big. First off the roll was big, then she put like five slices of ham on it. FIVE. then the chicken, and the cheese, and she loaded up the avacado! It was a awsume. And then get this, she undercharged me at $4.90! It was cool. lol

Get the Glass

The other day, yesterday it was actually, I was informed of a crazy flash game site, www.gettheglass.com. It had some crazy images and the game wasnt too bad either. I mean, not academy award winnig stuff, but fun. So go see it. (WARNING, have an awsume computer, otherwise it may take a while to load.)

Thursday 15th March: Music and Audio

Today we watched parts from American Beauty and watched the Shawshank Redemption to get a feel for music, how it can be used and what might make good music. I felt I learnt a bit with both films adopting the if its serious make it silent. Meaning if something important, serious or dramatic is happening in the scene there was often no music. I guess this helped build up the tension. But for whatever reason, it seemed to work.
