Obviously, if you’re going to tell a story, it’s a good idea to know what that story is before you go and tell it. So that’s why I’ve drawn up a storyboard. It helps to know exactly what you’re planning to do beforehand, rather than make it up as you go along. You don’t get as stuck then.

The next project is an animation in Flash lasting a couple of minutes. Now I’ve done plenty of work in Flash, but that’s specifically missing out animation of characters because – in all honesty – I can’t draw. So I needed to find an animation I could do without doing too much drawing by hand.

"The Sun Game" ideas stage

A while ago, I flirted with a few ideas for the homepage of my new personal site – The basic design and a few things it was to have on it, at least.

At our university, we have these little challenges they'll set us called One Day Projects. It's not hard to grasp the fact that each challenge is – indeed – one day long. You're set some sort of brief and you'll need to use your quick thinking skills and design tips picked up through lectures and seminars to gear yourself through it.
