Website update/song for canberra promotion video

Hello again,

a lot has been happening since I last posted. I also come back from a 1.5-2 week break. The main area I want to focus on today is an update on the Solar System website I'm creating that's due this week. Our brief is to create a website that includes a page for each planet of the Solar System. The stage I am up to is I have created the structured site layout in photoshop (this is basically a page that has all the elements that will be continued across the whole of the site. e.g. The header, side bar and footer.), and I'm ready to slice it up and transfer it into Dreamweaver. This will make the loading of the page easier when it is up on the internet because it will come in as smaller parts rather than one large part, and it will also be faster. Anyways, I've attached a jpg of the layout so you can see the design side....







    Also, I just wanted to touch on how I'm going with the song for my Canberra promotional video (we need to base this song around the whole video because of things like the beat, etc). So far I'm thinking of going with a song called "this land" from The Lion King. This is an instrumental piece and I think it would work well with my Canberra video. However, I need to run this through Roy, so I'll let you know how it goes. Talk soon.

Cheers.

AFP Missing Persons Assessment




Today is Monday the 4th of April. For the past few weeks I have been working on my assessment for the AFP Missing Persons Week. I have come up with the concept of having one hand print with no fill colour as the missing person's handprint, and blue-coloured hand prints around this one handprint in the shape of a circle to illustrate the people impacted when the person goes missing. In some of the hand prints, I've created a negative space of different symbols to illustrate the kind of people affected. Anyways, pictures say more then words, so I've included some pictures of the poster, magnet and keyring that we had to do. Please note the project is still going (due this friday), so I might be making some last minute changes to it. Will let you know how I go. Cheers.
