Interactive: Continued

What would be the best way for me to showcase Nottingham? Or at least Nottingham from my perspective. I think the breif was supposed to be personal rather than this general so I can condense it by outlining my favourite part of Nottingham and its culture. After a seminar in which Simon showed us how to format the images he described how he would prefer the size of the final piece. In order to allow for the extra browser form, pop ups and site form he suggested we render to 800x350 pixels. This completely threw the image I had in my head about the tour using another virtual computer onscreen. I simply could not fit the proportions of a standard, recognisable compuer unit. I tried laptops, desktops and towers to no avail. 'I have to scrap the screen within a screen thing' I thought to myself. No problem really, it left me more time and space to make my own personal touches to what was happening o the screen. I just had to make a basic site that was similarly themed and that linked together properly. No worries.



Because I know so little about Dreamweaver and its capabilities I decided to do the entirety of
the design in another program, one i was familiar with. I was alot more confident that I could maintain a high standard using Adobe Photoshop. It does exactly what I wantit to do. All I need do with Dreamweaver is import each image and tag it all together.
