Cutting, Scoring, Linking, Snoring.
Today, I mean all of today, at TAFE myself and Andaroo worked diligently on finishing the artwork preparation for the papercraft Link. Some 60 odd A4 pages of artwork needed to be set up with cut and score marks. Ironically, it now looks as though the large format printer will be unable to be cut the artwork for us. I still hold out hope for the laser cutter, although it would be time consuming and correct registration would be a bitch.
The good news is that we have the official go ahead to get the Link printed on the large format printer, and on a matte-like stock. All good news. It is also becoming increasingly more likely that we will not be able to assemble this monster until the Contact Exhibition week, only three weeks away. But it will look quite striking in our exhibition room or in the hallway.
Our personal website is due next week, so I look forward to finally sitting down and having a solid crack at getting my website portfolio together, if all goes as I plan (like it ever does) it should help give me an edge over competitors in the job market. I also have a couple of more website references that I’ve collected over the last couple of weeks. See below.
The Mutant Chronicles
I liked the effects with the rollover menus on the main page. I’ve been focusing more on media intensive websites that run well on my average internet connection but still look good.
Michael Moebius Portfolio
I think that the scrolling ‘mask’ effect on the main page was a very snappy idea, and easy enough to do. There are also some very slick transitions and rollover animations in the gallery.
Edit: Schweet Jeyzus there are a lot of widows on this blog entry! Perhaps it’s just my monitor resolution screwing with WordPress.
