With the seminar presentation out of the way, i had more time on my hands to work on the website for MPI303.
This week i have been able to complete all the page layout designs followed by taking them into flash and animating everything.
I spent about 3 days fiddling around with different methods and ideas before i settled with the result found in the bottom link of this post.
This evening i added in what i have completed so far of the promo animation to give it a test toast.
Still pondering whether i should make it xml based or not.
I also added in one xml image database with 4 working thumbs and images plus a preloader for the start of the site and image loaders.
After some testings on IE7, Mozilla and Safari i found that the site best works in safari due to it slightly resizing the website automatically.
The resizing wasn't much yet you could see more of the website which is a plus but nothing to worry about.
So far the website has a good feel to it and i it's very comfortable for the time being.
In the following week i plan to work on the opening splash page animation while adding more of the xml databases to the rest of the sections.
Just a word of warning, the website is 1280x1024.
The reason being my target audience is mainly designers and my screen resolution is 1280x1024.
Plus the whole purpose of this website is to show my work off, with that said, since the resolution is at this size, i don't have to worry about shrinking images for viewing.
It is not the actual size of the images that i worried about, it's the lose quality and when it comes to fine detail it is hard for the viewer to see.
here is the link to the updated site.
