Journal Task 2

Although most of my creative life centralises into forms of digital art, my skills have also started to branch into music and video (specifically film), as my interests have always been in those areas as well.
While I have sold web products in the past, within the past few years I have been building my skills up, along with deciding on the direction Id like my ‘end goal’ to be at. My design work is always something I would be a perfectionist about, whether it is ‘for’ me or not, this means all my results are mostly to my own liking. My musical interests will always be a hobby, as I’m realistic in my chances within the field.
As for the future of my design work, web or video, I am aiming for an eventual position within the professional industry, which means all my creativity will be demanded into that area. Obviously creativity in day to day problem solving will always remain, as that is key to sharpening my critical thinking and increasing personal development. However other areas could suffer due to the demand of a professional position.

To enhance my knowledge of my possible creative future, the need for research would take me through such media as the internet, books, film, digital art collections and public journals. Other artist profiles would be revenues of research to draw on, specifically my favourite filmmakers Chan Wook-Park and Luc Besson, as well as my favourite web design company, 2advanced. I am wary to focus my research into one specific area, as I my options are still slightly open, not to mention that if I were to research multiple pathways and possible options, my final decision will be a more informed one.
It is however irrelevant to research music and other hobbies further, although due to personal interests I will continue slight research into them, not for an end goals sake, but for purely personal interests.

3d Max: A wierd fountain thing

Ok first efforts with 3D studio max:



Well i did attempt to create a fountain... but it came out really abstract looking for a reason im unaware of as of now.

Oh well, it still looks pretty funky!

Oh yea.... The quiz....

Although its took a long while to come to my journal, i have been designing the flash based quiz for the interactive media project.
The style of the work has been inspired by a few things. namely who wants to be a millionaire for its 'classic' multiple choice question layout.

To keep to my own 'theme' however i have turned this into a pub quiz type game, hosted by a animated version of Al Murray (famous for his pub landlord act).
Itll be ten questions, getting harder as the quiz goes along.

This is the first draft of a page from the quiz:



More will be done very soon!
