Need to experiment/ revise actually how to use Dreamweaver, get all my images, text sorted so that it will be only a matter of getting it sorted in Dreamweaver since thats what's going to take a lot of time. Also now that the deadline has changed thankfully, since was worried that we didn't have 2 weeks of original time for it, need to maybe do more with it since more time however need to make sure dedicated/spread time with the next project also. Going to be a little tricky since would have no glue in terms of marks on what need to focus on etc but should be Ok, no point in worrying about that:P

imagery for web site

Think thats enough for my blog now, going to be consentrating on image selection/layout design for site and research inspiration for website! Must say I had forgotten how hooked I can get on blog and the whole design process for website:P
Thinking now that I have 100% committed to doing a colour them site can basically use any kind of imagery!
Thinking that I could still use some trip photos in new website that is colour/texture/symbolism foucus with regards to that theme instead of labeling where the image is from etc.
Will keep this option open for now and pick images for new texture/colour/symbolism site.

sick

I'm kind of worried about not being able to attent class later this afternoon.
Feeling to sick to go in, taken some medicine hoping that I will feel better by then to be able to go in. Already taking the moring off work so hopefully that will be enough. But can only wait and see.
No point in going in if feeling this bad, won't be able to process anything as well as possibly making ours sick:(.
However if it ends up that I dont go would want to at least sort some research/design concepts etc for web site, so that the only thing I need to worry about asking from Tutor would be technical help/support because God knows I need it, so very rusty of skills learnt last year. Hopefully it will come flushing back once start on the technical aspects again:P Now I really need to go back to bed.

change of direction!

New decision, Final decison: going with a colour theme web sight, perhaps just primary colours etc
think it would be more interesting and visually more interesting then just a plain trip site, which would have been fine but not as artistic or general audience as a colour/texture sight will be!

update

I haven't got onto of this how I had planned. I have started looking at some books for inspiration and possible directions (will inlcude list on blog soon) but nothing has yet moved me/inspired to the degree that I'm looking for yet.

Really hoping that since we didn't have class last week that the due date changes otherwise we have one less week then original timeframe:(

Also kind of been having 2nd thoughts about theme of the website. Thinking if I should do something more general that has nothing to do with my travels, maybe perhaps a site dedicated to colour and symbolism of colour, colours in our everyday lives etc this would tie in well with my theme for this year for my other subjects.
Perhaps could use both colour and texture imgages in this new possibility of website.
Definetly the photos are more artistic then my travel pictures, perhaps thats also another reason why I'm having second thoughts of doing travel site. After all images do have a huge impact on design outcome regardless of medium weather it be print, web, paint etc

In order to illustrate the above point, I think I best include a couple of travel images versus a couple of colour and/or texture images on the side bar of this blog. Im also thinking that it would be possible to use photos have already posted on blog for the website if I choose to do colour/texture eg: tree images, Flower images, water images and so on.
