New Quarter, New Project

This quarter I'm going to shift gears. I would like to make a portfolio website to display the work I've created while at UCSD. Rather than creating a boring, html page with a biography, contact information and simple examples of audio and graphics that I've created, I'd like to present it in a fun and interesting way that will explain more about my style and interests. I will do this by creating an interactive and musical flash website.

The timeline:
2nd week-develop structure, style, and choose content
3rd week-photograph and photoshop images for animations
4th week-assemble images in flash and write code for animation
5th week-rinse and repeat for each separate page
6th week-record music/ sounds and eq/master sounds for a multitude of speaker systems
7th week-incorporate audio into the site
8th week-incorporate projects from other classes
9th week-ask for outside critiques
10th week-send website to possible employers!

(I have a placeholder html website now that will be available to those who do not have a flash player here: jmichael.tv. I will be tweaking the style and format of the html site to mimic the appearance of the flash site as well throughout the quarter.)

Possible formats:
-turntable
-drum set
-music box
-abstract instrument
-radio

Inspiration from holden outerwear website. Unfortunately last year's website has been taken down, but it is very similar to this year's site.
