<br />
I took a bunch of pictures in Central Park on Friday.<br />
Since it's winter time, leaves are gone and grass turned pale.<br />
Only tree branches over my head and cold breeze in the air.<br />
It's chilly relating to my Central Park theme.<br />
<br />
I found this video recording light in the daytime in CP, I believe in late spring or early summer,<br />
the color looks so vibrant and calming as well.<br />
Fits so much better with my theme...<br />

I love its dynamic scene transition, such as camera pan, zoom out, changing focus etc.<br />
However, it's kind of a stereotype just-want-to-catch-eye movie.<br />

This is not a video done by flash or aftereffect. I think it is done by hand drawing and a camera.</div>

It organizes the academic content into funny drawings and key notes, and make it fairly easy to understand. In our assignment one, I find it hard to transit from one scene to another, go from one point to another, While this video transit between different points smoothly.</div>

And the line smoothly introduces a series of cool illustrations. This is an interesting interaction and I keep playing with it. But still have not tried out all versions.</span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">Besides, the illustrations are simple and elegant, which makes the cola site more like an illustration site or some art thing, which, I think is good.</span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;"></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03881539418406090998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210182460916023897.post-90466277738275280352010-04-02T20:23:00.000-07:002010-04-02T20:34:50.463-07:00My own review on Actionscript code learnt<span style="font-family:courier new;color:#6666cc;">Var XXX:YYY=new YYY();</span><br /><span style="font-family:Courier New;color:#6666cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#6666cc;">"var" is to set a variable XXX, which is a subset of YYY (YYY is a group name).</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6666cc;">":" means "property or attribute".</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6666cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;color:#6666cc;">XXX.addEventListener("ZZZ",AAA);</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6666cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6666cc;">If ZZZ is completed, then excute AAA.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6666cc;">"." means 's .</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#6666cc;"></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03881539418406090998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210182460916023897.post-50858655493128794282010-04-02T19:53:00.000-07:002010-04-02T20:19:52.614-07:00Another Japanese site<a href="http://www.muji.com/rhythm"><span style="color:#6666cc;">http://www.muji.com/rhythm</span></a><br /><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">Another Japanese site of Muji. </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">I don't know if you like the Muji simplicity. To me, I dislike most of the products except stationary, especially the color pens. I imagine putting everything in gray, brown grey, blue grey etc at home would be dreary.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">I deem this site design-oriented rather than showing off coding or technology. Every product on screen is aligned to some kind of grid and jumps slightly, or switch among themselves dynamically to a heart-beat rhythm. It clearly reveals the designer's attention to give a vivid life to these products.</span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">The interaction between the mouse cursor and the buttons seems to be diminished by the beating pictures themselves. However, it still fairly easy to use (simply double-click and enter a detailed page of a product), and successful keep the user's interest in this site and follow the rhythm unconciously.</span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">However, the heart-beat itself scares me a little. Since it is so clear and distinctive, I cannot help thinking of a dying human.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03881539418406090998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210182460916023897.post-64167367877492154922010-03-09T19:05:00.000-08:002010-03-09T19:30:46.709-08:00Interactive website of Grey Group Japan<span style="color:#6666cc;">Check this!</span><br /><a href="http://greygroup.jp/greyshines"><span style="color:#6666cc;">http://greygroup.jp/greyshines</span></a><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">I love the way all characters in paper puppet form wearing color pencil texture, and their movements look dynamic and organic.

I have never thought about that. But it definitely should be fun!<br /><br />The interactive navigation I choose is carried out in real life, instead of in cyber world, which may not be appropriate for this assignment. However, this kind of interaction between human and machine, or machine and machine, appeals to human nature that everyone loves to play and<br />wishes to experience flying. Thus I deem this magic toy helicopter inspirational for interactive design.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03881539418406090998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210182460916023897.post-83727327594414086912009-11-12T05:43:00.000-08:002009-11-12T08:15:59.131-08:00Auction Report 3<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Promotion Result</span><br />According to our last auction report, we need to get more attention by facebook, MSN signatures, e-flyers and web forums:<br /><br />e-flyer:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijMqPkdyXDCUnBEqXdHFAZIZoZMmtRDD6tfs9czvn59YSJx14XTgUDN-ihjo9LKa-VinTHPN-5ESrV9yQsLTszS1mduMe4PdpE-3ym91j_hxryxP1zELdA_iDmS0U-yjZyc8wV64l2fyw/s1600-h/auctionPromote04.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 237px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijMqPkdyXDCUnBEqXdHFAZIZoZMmtRDD6tfs9czvn59YSJx14XTgUDN-ihjo9LKa-VinTHPN-5ESrV9yQsLTszS1mduMe4PdpE-3ym91j_hxryxP1zELdA_iDmS0U-yjZyc8wV64l2fyw/s320/auctionPromote04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403243752646718194" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP6uUSq3Xqyxc4lXnTJoDGrbqZ_J0khbFGrokpWQRT2rPk29HiE5UM5p9TjQUPp8KojXV75Z5Cf1BhR6d6p76CZDn_p5zQ0XYD-fBEKR1_z92B22__At1XWnqFtuDOOt86kNLdHqO45Jg/s1600-h/auctionPromote05.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP6uUSq3Xqyxc4lXnTJoDGrbqZ_J0khbFGrokpWQRT2rPk29HiE5UM5p9TjQUPp8KojXV75Z5Cf1BhR6d6p76CZDn_p5zQ0XYD-fBEKR1_z92B22__At1XWnqFtuDOOt86kNLdHqO45Jg/s320/auctionPromote05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403244269649110802" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">MSN signature:<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGDFvIknmIXvj138NVLUiGizbeqgIPrqN3agtsTXcdoP4iUJ5QQyxpZxZuJC4jq1QyLZPscvJRWl1Qov0Lbegr4eKj2nrG16PHi3DOomtRr-dr1ICu2tllhPUC6rIskD0MKttR6Bi_sQk/s1600-h/auctionPromote02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 81px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGDFvIknmIXvj138NVLUiGizbeqgIPrqN3agtsTXcdoP4iUJ5QQyxpZxZuJC4jq1QyLZPscvJRWl1Qov0Lbegr4eKj2nrG16PHi3DOomtRr-dr1ICu2tllhPUC6rIskD0MKttR6Bi_sQk/s320/auctionPromote02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403241245599454562" border="0" /></a>Facebook:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiadVPEhZruJrOp-BSSljL15EJf2L57IZTubaf6IP2Ro4zsBSi_FfB0uayIvOmDce61_bL-zKQ3RDo8pBj_ZRtlN5gHkYHV1O4fGAy2kpsf0TppTNQblBpEw7xcm8TkdUN3tbsb3PLXNgI/s1600-h/auctionPromote01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 305px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiadVPEhZruJrOp-BSSljL15EJf2L57IZTubaf6IP2Ro4zsBSi_FfB0uayIvOmDce61_bL-zKQ3RDo8pBj_ZRtlN5gHkYHV1O4fGAy2kpsf0TppTNQblBpEw7xcm8TkdUN3tbsb3PLXNgI/s320/auctionPromote01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403241184513528226" border="0" /></a><br />We also ask our friends directly to go to the links on ebay, to increase the view rate of our products.<br /><br />Before asking anyone, the view rate on ebay is always zero for the first few days.
