go up


Two websites that will influnece my design. Both use limited colour palletes and have a minimilistic design. They use innovative scroll and navigation and I like the idea thatall the content is on one page and the links move you up your down the page.

theinsider.com

Had an idea for a website, which is effectively a newspaper that you can compile yourself, with news that you want to know about and then chat and share it with your friends. The social network of news. 



iPad 2

Last week the new iPad was launched, it boasts much faster processors, running with the Apple 5 chip which operates 2x faster the previous incarnation, it also will have graphics that are 9x better which is rather impressive and i'm sure will make the clarity of the screen visually awesome. Another development is that is 33% thinner than the previous, and to put that in to perspective, that makes it thinner than the iPhone 4, which is the thinnest smart phone on the market, so it is an impressive statistic. 


I've always been torn when it comes to the iPad, it is a great device, and functions really impressively, it is brilliantly designed, but then what do you expect from Apple. However inside I know it is a massive con. It is well over priced and not really necessary as a standard lap top and even the iPhone do exactly the same functions as the iPad. Still, I find myself wanting one so much, it is not so much what it delivers, but how it delivers it, and that is what will make the iPad 2 so succesful and popular. 


Filming Part 1

We started filming earlier on in the week, focusing on getting all the close up shots done and things that didn't include dialogue and such. It went fairly successfully and we were able to get all the shots we needed, we would have liked to get some other shots done on the day as well, however we did not have the correct lighting and decided it would be better to wait and do it properly than film shots that we later were disappointed with. We made sure we did every shot to best quality possible, this  meant a lot of time was spent find the right angle and position for the camera and make sure the lighting we had was suitable.  Filming will continue later in the week...
