the beginnings of my web banner

So the creative juices has really started flowing after the slight stall during pitch week. I have begun focusing on my website designs. Thinking about what pages to include and the navigation to them. So first things first:











I have been experimenting slightly with the actual project name so people do not immediately just assume it stands for University or Abertay Dundee

Welcome to Creativity...? :S

And so the horror that is 4th year has arrived. Months of hard work, mountains of written and desperately trying to figure out a creative project with an interesting dissertation question. Yet it is a challenge that I am looking forward to because for once it is completely up to my idea without a brief.

My Inspiration:

Bank of Imagination
Behind most blocks there is an "imagination" posted by different people.
You can add your own thoughts to a certain post or imagines. The animation reminds me of connect four.







FOUND magazine




The beauty of this site sparked the initial concept for my project. Here people can upload randomly found notes or images to share with the site's viewers.







Labuat




The site allows the cursor to act as a paint brush with added animation to be unleashed at certian points of the song. It is amazing how that the person feels although they are contributing to the creative flow of the piece




Infinite OZ
This website is a relaxing journey through the imaginative worlds of 9 different artists. with simple animation and brilliant scenery it is hard not to drift of to the land of OZ yourself.
