WordPress Portfolio website
Leave a Comment
This was created as an assignment for Advanced Content Management Systems module.
We were to create a wordpress portfolio website either from scratch or download a theme and create a child theme for it.
I chose to modify a theme by creating a child theme for it.
I downloaded the Portfolium theme by WP shower and modified it to my needs.
This included me altering a few .php files which came with the theme.
In order to include a video in my theme, I altered a few php files and used an <iframe> in order to include the videos and .swf in the portfolio content.
For most of the changes, I used the WPShower discussion forum tutorials.
Here are some screenshots of the website

Logo designs version 1.0
The contrast between the blue background and the white text doesn’t seem to work much, however I like the grey combination…
3D in class test …
Leave a Comment
Today we had an inclass test in 3D Modelling and Animation. We were given an item that we had to re-create and animate.
My item was a simple blue marker pen. For the submission we were asked to submit 3 rendered photographs and an animation, either using a physics engine or by keyframing.
These are my three rendered images of the amazing pen.
background image – no detail… plus some video tutorial research

Right, today I started creating some vector images for the animation,
This will be used for the first animation, as I’ve imagined in the storyboard.
I’m not sure about the colours… And I need to add more details to the castle and the cliff. I think the water and the night sky are pretty much final.

Also, I looked at some tutorials at publishing iPad/Android applications.
Here is the link to the very educational video. The video included some small code for the touch and tilt events, publishing your app on the store & acquiring the app store licence. Awesome
Interface design 1.0
Leave a Comment
This is the very first interface design… it’s not very clear, and I will make an updated version, but I needed to do this one, to know what I need to include and so on.
Also, if it isn’t clear, the whole interface will not be shown on the screen, I would like to implement a finger-swipe which will allow the user to scroll left and right to see the full interface/room.
Annabel Lee – storyboard
Leave a Comment
Storyboard of the first animation I’m working on – Annabel Lee (by Edgar Allan Poe)…
These were done so I would have a better idea of how my animation will look & feel like… also, for transitions (if I didn’t specify it in the sketches, the important thing is – that I know what they are…)
Also, my sketches are super flat and very 2D, (AND they look like a kid drew them, BUT that IS the look I’m going for 
…)but so is Flash, and once I get start working on the characters and all the other vector images, I’ll give them a little bit more depth than what they have in the storyboard below.
You can read the poem here and follow the storyboard.
Android vs IOS (flash templates)
1 Comment
It has come to my attention that the templates for android and ios files are quite different in flash cs5.5.
My original idea was to develop for both ios AND android. I have been testing with some file size conversions, these are the findings.
Android size : 480 x 800
while IOS size: 320 x 480.
I started off by opening an Android template in flash cs5.5
these were the properties of the android template.
I also opened up a template for IOS.
these were the properties of the file
In an Android file I drew a rectangle. (this was done for testing purposes)
This was the rectangle size
I went into Document> Modify and used the options below. (I scaled to the size of the IOS file size)
I did not uncheck the “scale to size box” and this was the result.
However, when I went back and checked off the “scale to size” box, I used the settings below.
and this was the result
and I checked the box size, and it was perfectly scaled :3
From this, I have concluded that I can develop everything in IOS and scale it and resize for android at the very end. Excellent findings!
