Traveling Light sketches




The process of light coming from the sun is an amazing process that starts with two single atoms of hydrogen. My flash video will show how this process works starting from the core of the sun (where fusion takes place) all the way to planet earth where its conducted through the magnetic poles and ultimately absorbed into the earth or reflected back into space. Way cool.

Flash Video Inspiration




Our new assignment is a flash video based on Time. I have always been a nerd for outer space and I find aesthetic inspiration from the science books i had in grade school. the illustrations are so cheesy but so informative. I would like to create my own kind of "science" graphic based on how light travels from the sun and out into space.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS


So last night I was under the impression that our FINISHED websites were due for critique. Apparently I misunderstood that it was only an IN-PROGRESS critique. I still have until next Wednesday to complete everything. It's kind of nice though because now I have everything on my website the way I want it and have extra time for small tweaking. I received some good feedback from Leon and friends about general layout and design. Something that I have learned in the process of designing for web is to sketch on paper FIRST. Web can be tricky by itself and if you throw in adjustments and only a vague idea of your direction, things can get way too complicated. It is interesting that design basics and general beginning process always stays the same even as technology changes.
