DP3

Am off and away in terms of DP3 , i have a theme , context and meaning. but first the brief:

Design, build and deploy a minimum five page website that is validated to WC3 standards and includes at least three interactive Javascript routines that enhance the interactive experience.
This phase will test your creativity, basic design understanding and coding competency. They should meet the following criteria:

1.Create at least three elements that use Javascript routines. These should enhance the interactivity of the website. Incorporate these elements within a website that contains a minimum of five XHTML pages.

2. Flash and video can also be incorporated into the design (not essential) but ALL 'swf' files MUST also have the relevant 'FLA' file in a form that can be opened by the version of FLASH available on the university computers in WAV207/105 (i.e.CS5).

3. The total website, including flash elements, should not exceed 5MB (10MB if video included) total file size.

4. Special consideration should be given to image quality. The Java-script and Flash elements should show technical proficiency and where possible, innovative ideas and narrative principles.

5. All elements (HTML and FLASH) should complement and link to each other and be coherent with respect to the overall website design.

So with all that jargon out of the way , let me get started . What am going for , is a website that shows the evolution of yours truly , a sort of online biography , there will be five pages , but they won't be your typical home gallery about etc , they will flow in a timeline , from the day of my birth , throughout school , college , to now and all the juicy bits in-between , i was always going to go down this path but if it haven't seen this image in a magazine then i would have gone down a generic route.

I will go into much much much more detail later on , but for know here are the basics : i will be using three colours: red , black and white  and it  will be a three coloum page layout. Hopefully my Mother won't might sending me old photos of my childhood.
