Craig Allington - Tune In: March 2008
http://craigallington-tunein.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Craig Allington - Tune In. Blog for my 'Tune In' assignment. Monday, 3 March 2008. As iTunes is such a well known product already and so popular from the get go I once again struggled to really distance myself from the current site and be as creative as perhaps I could. My main idea for the website was to try and reduce as much navigation as possible as it seems to dominate the iTunes store at present and to also reduce the amount of visual noise which can distort and confuse the user. Looking back at my...

http://craigallington-tunein.blogspot.com/2008/01/use-of-visual-cues.html
Craig Allington - Tune In. Blog for my 'Tune In' assignment. Sunday, 27 January 2008. Use of Visual Cues. Visual cues are everywhere on web sites, most are so subtle that we don’t even consciously notice, some are glaringly obvious and are almost impossible to miss. But be it a conscious or unconscious clue they are very important in our every day lives, especially on the internet. Animation is very useful for catching the users attention. Although large flash banners can take a long time to load and...

A blog for my HND Interactive Media Course. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. It's just a bit of Monkey Business. Though it is quite easy to say that the assignment was simple looking back on it, I have had quite a stressful time trying to do parts of it, sometimes staying up until midnight trying to figure out what I was missing, or where I was going wrong – again mainly with the CSS website. Posted by Craig Allington. Friday, July 06, 2007. An End Has A Start". The assignment has been much easier than I imagined...

Craig Allington: January 2007
http://craigallington.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
A blog for my HND Interactive Media Course. Thursday, January 25, 2007. Much thanks to Steve and all at The Design Mechanics for giving me (and I'm sure the rest of the group) an opportunity to go to The Design Mechanics studio to see them at work. It was a fantastic experience. The worst thing about the feedback meeting was perhaps Steve telling me that he was disappointed with my lack of development work, as this was something he had picked up on in my previous feedback meeting. Although I felt I c...

http://craigallington.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
A blog for my HND Interactive Media Course. Friday, May 09, 2008. Where Am I, and How Did I Get Here? The first thing we were ever asked to do on the course was to write a blog. This blog was entitled Where Am I, and How Did I Get Here? My main reason for joining the course is to have fun and enjoy it, but I am also hoping to use it as a stepping stone, either to a job, or a full degree at university.". This is because the job requires a very mixed and broad knowledge of IT skills. These skills inclu...

A blog for my HND Interactive Media Course. Tuesday, June 12, 2007. Website's Need a Good Stretch From Time to Time. This week I made a start on my website for the new assignment. I went out and took some pictures of various 'interesting objects' around my house, and have decided to make my website on my local high school. And an article about measuring in em's. I have also so far completed my 'team roles' section of the website, and have gathered a few images for the first task. I still have a long ...
