Entry #10 week 12: WEBSITE!!! done!! fuuuh...

finally i finish my website, to be honest this my first time to do a website in order and neat one, an organize one.
usually i just edit some page and more page. They usually not even in one folder.
also this is the first time i make a website alone. totally alone, not as a team like when i do my very first website.

actually during the progress i quite struggle with the pages. I think i make too complicated sitemap. I should just make a few sub-menu and focus to make it looks good rather than many sub-menu and messy one. But i can manage to make it finally.

so this is the design of my website:

picture: the splash page in the website

picture: one preview of the website

basically i do the design all using photoshop and make the template using dreamweaver.
for some animation and effect and of course the gallery, i use adobe flash.

picture : image gallery of the main website

the page i love the most in my website are graphic preview page in splash page and image gallery page in main website.
in graphic preview in splash page, i manage to make a masking effect (which is drive me crazy in the process yet very satisfy with the result) and the scroll effect in image gallery menu.

too bad, i put all my work in my external hard drive that i left in my home country.
So all the works and photo i put in my e-portfolio was the one that i grabbed from my personal blog.
which is small an low quality,

but a least i already make my basic own e-portfolio. I just need to update it later when i got home. a feed back from jack make me realize that i actually make 2 website combine together haha... :P but to be honest i prefer my splash page rather than the main website :P

if you want to see my website then just go here
please just don't go inside the website right away there's a lot of clickable things in the white splash page.. :P

ENTRY #9 week 10: Idea... idea.. GOD i need an inspiration

without realizing it.
it's already week 10. which means it's only 2 weeks more until we collect out project web.
and website is not some thing that you can finish in short time especially when you work alone not as a team.

So I started to collect an design Idea of my website.

1. Photoshop.
today in class we learn to use a slice tool and decide website with photoshop. i mean a whole website :D. I've never known about this . it'll make everything easier a i suppose.
so i decide to make every design in photoshop except for content.
I'll try make the content as a slide show by flash. and edit with dreamweaver of course

2. Splash page :D
i know splash page is good for a complicated website, no a simple website like what i am going to make. yet, splash page is the most beautiful and dynamic that a webpage can be.
so i decided to make one in flash. but i am not sure i can make it in short time but let see wish me like.

3. color and background
white is always the best.. since i can mix with another color.
i will use a white and colorful color for the website.
maybe a color like this.

this is a previous banner that i make for my previous blog.
a bright colour will be really good in white background . i think.
maybe i'll use this banner again for may website

4. cartoon character..
i am thinking to use a cute cartoon illustration in the website.
no time to draw and and colouring again. so i decide to use some old illustration
this one a illustration of me and my friends, drawing by my ex and vectorized by his friend and colored by me.
i'll just edit it and change the money theme into art and technology them..

oh my god so many ideas..
i hope i can finished it on time >.<

here the sitemap plan of the website. maybe i'll edit and put additional page of the website if i got more time left.but this is the basic and main site map
