Blog 7 Return to work

Well the holiday blog 2 was wrong being sick and sleepy does not help the spelling out at all.
Aside from that it is good to be back working again even if it is only for another 6 weeks before another break.

Week 11 a finished form of the final project is due.
Week 12 the work is to have any last minuet problems ironed out, and sharp edges to be sanded down and anything else to be debugged.

The topic of the final project is anything we want as long as it uses director. The condition is to show what we know about the program which will now include sounds, cursors, rollovers and maybe some use of the scripting language lingo.

Right now I a considering the use of a drawing tablet as part of the final project interface. If I put a "line" drawing/ screen shot under the plastic of the tablet then the user can use the stylus to interact with the work.

It would be interesting in a gallery setting except I don’t trust people* and would mean I need to chain the stylus to the tablet but that would ruin the stylus.

On a side note ink settings matte can be used inside director for the design of custom buttons.

A few questions/ points I have to put a lot of thought into is the graphic user interface, why make work in this program and how and how would a person choose to spend their time looking at the work that I have done.

I really need to decide on a final project really soon with time running faster then a cheap pair of stockings.
Once I have an idea I can really use I can build off the rest of it. The only thing in mind is toothpaste, maybe the 3 strips will lead to the colour settings (limited pallet) or maybe something I can use. Maybe I can hand the project in with a collection of mints to add a dimension of smell.


*Generally speaking I do not trust people as a collective group or species, individuals I can feel different about although there are plenty of individuals that I don’t trust either.
