Okay, so it isn’t exactly computer related. But I just had to post this video due to pure awesomeness.

Ah the memories of my childhood come flashing back.. and I still wish I had one of these.

So after a month of being on a break from blogging, I’m finally back! Miss me? I missed you. So lets catch up shall we?

Second semester has been great so far. I’ve been learning a lot of new things, which has been helping my designs and interfaces ten-fold. I’ll be posting my new stuff soon.

In other news, I’ve made an executive decision to post more on the blog…with topics other than school. Crazy I know! So keep a look out.

This year, I’m going to try to do my part and try to help out the environment.

So I promise to limit what I print and use recycled paper.

Every little bit counts!

Its second semester, and I have to say that I’m pretty excited for the new material that’ll be covered.

The haitus from blogging is over, so lets jump in.

This is an in class assignment we had, where we were given the logo of a fictional company, a few specs, and pretty much free reign to create a sign-up page/form - in Photoshop or Illustrator. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out, considering I did it in about 30ish minutes.

I’ll be posting more soon!

I survived finals week..or well..finals weeks. It was pretty intense, but I’m happy with the projects that I handed in. I took a nice break from my computer, and now I’m back!  And I have not been doing a lot..but I did make an elephant for a friend!

I’m working on figuring out how to post a PSA video that I made. I like it a lot, so keep an eye out!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

After a week of designing and crying in Flash. I present to you, the first flash site I’ve made this semester. I decided to have fun with this project, and poked fun at myself as well.

This is my first try at using a hand-drawn design. I even used my drawing tablet to lay/draw everything out..yep, everything on there was drawn by hand, except for the text..I have really messy handwriting.

I’m really digging Flash sites and the freedom I have with layouts, so this definitely won’t be the last one I’ll be posting. Tell me what you think..

I’ve been playing around with the idea of a blog for a little while now, and after months of deliberation (or procrastination), I’ve decided to create a blog about my adventures as a Digital Media Design student. So I’ll be posting projects and some other work that I’ve done.

So in honour of my inaugural post here’s one of the first things I’ve created in my Digital Graphic Design Tool’s Class.
