Website concept
September 16, 2008
I could never have foreseen having to create a website when I enrolled for this subject.
Lies aside, I would like to create a ’simple’, blog like, personal website. My website would contain content that interest me, be it random ramblings at 3am or informative news articles from the Herald. Main content aside, what is interesting about my website is how I visually represent this information. I doodle a lot… I mean, a lot and I have done it non-stop my entire academic life. I have to say, I am very proud of the ‘profound’ graphical ramblings I produce. I would go so far as saying it is a personality trait that defines part of me and I guess I would like my personal homepage to reflect this.
I would love my website to incorporate theme changes. I’m not too sure of the interval between these theme changes, but I would like it to reflect my current doodling style. My websites theme will always fill set criteria. Incorporated themes must be hand drawn with a blue or black biro pen (that is after all the type of pen I sit in class with). These themes are then scanned into Photoshop/Illustrator to be sliced and touched up. Drawing influence from CSS: Zen Garden (see previous post), I would like to keep the same bare HTML code every theme change. Although the HTML doesn’t change, I will be altering the CSS. By following the Zen Garden’s example I hope to catalogue a decent visual and cognitive cross section of my life.
Good idea? Too rehashed? Comment that shiz…
edit; I am having trouble installing the correct drivers to post pictures of some doodling.

Brian you don’t need drivers to post on wordpress. Check their help section. But simply when you make a new post you will see next to “Add media” a symbol for adding images. upload and include in blog.
I really don’t want you to randomly add posts to a blog for a final project. It should more that that. Use you doodles to build images that could be added to a site that is primarily image / animation / and/or sound based. Make it so that a viewer does not have to troll through lots of posts to get some notion of your identity (or another identity or identity in another sense)
