Website and Drawing
So my plan is to create a website for my graphic design portfolio.
They say the hardest part is starting, and I have all of these ideas but am struggling to begin… so a large part of me believes that theory.
I want to build my illustration skills up before I start uploading my work. Illustration I think is an area I could definitely get into, however, I need to learn to draw from not only...

STONEFEST CASSANDRA WEBSITE
So I FINALLY have My WEBSITE up and running. I chose to design the Stonefest website, originating from last years website, using their images and text, and altering it in my own style and design. I have uploaded the website using the free web host “000webhost”. I used Filezilla to upload my FTP. My website is at http://www.stonefestcassandra.host56.com/. I have had a lot of stress...
SEMI-PERMANENT
I went to Semi Permanent when it came to sydney this year in April and it was such an eye opening experience. There were so many inspiring people giving speeches - letting us delve into their work and understand how and why they are the people they are today. There were a huge amount of people at this function, many of whom have different disciplines to each other - some intertwining with multiple...

Web Design
So it turns out that web design is quite an involved thing to learn. There is so many different aspects that you can take on board. Currently I have written my HTML of the stonefest website, and will be taking a crack at the CSS over the holidays - possibly and hopefully finalsing it. (However knowing me, I will probably ge stressed out due to the lack of knowledge. hehe) I need to catch up on the...

Keeping up with the time!
Hey all,
I’m finding it very difficult to manage my time these days. I am getting quite stressed with all of my uni work (studying graphic design). I have so many assignments to do, that I just don’t know where to start… and once I do, I get so enveloped in that one assignment, that I don’t want to stop, and fall behind on the others. I am finding designing the stonefest website quite hard -...
Process of web designing
Ok, so I have spent all week drawing, trying to figure out exactly how I want the effect of my stonefest website to look. I have come up with a few ideas, although the main idea that I think I am going to stick with is a main content page centered, with artful drawingings springing out from the centre into the open space. I was thinking of bright colours, but i’m not sure bright colours...
5 websites, 7 characteristics
I had originally chosen 5 music sites, but have changed my decision. The music sites werent astetically pleasing to me. I was going to put the original stonefest image up as well, as I actually like the way the website looks at the moment, with the beautiful swirls and interesting design, but wasn’t sure if I could include that site in my reference.
I have now chosen 5 other sites, being...

Excited
I have just added a weblink to the sidebar which I wasn’t sure I was able to do, so I’m pretty excited about that. I used HTML to add the link. I have been trying to change the colour of the link to orange using HTML, ut I can’t seem to do it. I have used <font color = ‘orange’> Kafuffle </font>, and <Body text = ‘orange’> but neither of...
Well I now have a wordpress account also, I am using it for my Networked Media class. So far I am liking wordpress better than tumblr, but only due to the fact of the sidebar. I want to become familiar with the different blogging sites out there, so I am going to stick with tumblr for this course, and see what I can get out of it.
wordpress
hmmmm…. i have been going through some peoples blogs and i am actually thinking that wordpress.com looks like a better blogging site. There seems to be much more you can add to your blog than tumblr, unless I am just not looking into tumblr correctly. I have noticed people placing things down the side columns, posts, websites, calanders, photos, a lot of different things, which i’m...

Still getting there
Ok, so I’m trying to understand even the basics of blogging. so far i have the type and image thing down to a T, along with the print screen imaging and the adding a link and talking about it… but i can’t seem to work out anything other than that. I can’t even figure out how to put a date on the left hand side, or I’ve seen in Sandra’s blog, she has a calender,...
Well, I have realised that I have had a date all along, I just wasn’t in the correct place. I should have been in my dashboard, however was staying where i post my blogs. whoops. crisis averted haha
StoneFest →
I have decided on working on the stonefest site. I actually really like the website the way it is now, but i would like to try and give my own special flair to the site. I like the green, with the swaying pieces breaking away into the background, and i love the effect you get with the title incoorperated into the green backdrop. So far i dont actually have any great ideas on what i will do, so im...
From the begining
Ok, so i don’t really know much at all to do with designing webpages, html, or anything really. I have had one exerience designing a webpage in high school, which i was successful at, so i have some knowledge, just not a great deal.
I started to read the text book over the holidays, and i got quite into it, but was scared it would go in one ear and out the other if i wasnt reading while...
