hello all, 

quite the shame we weren't able to get the vanitas site up and running but all the same i think its nearly time for some all round congratulations. 

This is the link to the facebook ad page that would have been launched had we made it online:

Dear Gherkin:)

I have not posted anything for a while, because I was too busy with the actual production and... it was finished yesterday!!!:-)

Now I just need to-three more texts for the store section (will be grateful if you send them to me ASAP, Juan:) when I place them inside the whole construction the project will be ready to be uploaded! (hooray:)

I played with publishing settings in Flash and decided that this will be a better solution for us than relying on Dreamweaver's table. More details- on my blog (will post it this evening)

I think we need to finish it ASAP and upload in order to be able to advertise it on posters and on Facebook and get some audience interactions. I hope they like it and flood us with their e-mails and photographs:-) I am working on a poster which will be simple and consistent with the stencil I designed for the 'stencil' section of the website. 

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

More Photos

Hey I asked my friend to take some photos of stuff he thought was interesting and/or funny, I didn't get him to use the arrow as by not having him use the arrow it shows people there are no set rules for submitting photos.

I haven't put the, into the gallery yet but am about to and I thought I'd upload them now.

Clock Sounds

Based on our intention to have clock sounds within our website, I found free clock sounds which could be useful.

20090405.clock.stereo.dry.wav, 20090405.clock.mono.dry.wav and Grandfather clock.wav can all be found on the following website http://www.freesound.org/searchText.php.

For some background music I found this track which I felt sounded a little like a countdown as well as being quite light and soft.

If we used this track for our home page, rather than have it playing in the background and giving the user the choice to turn it on or off we could play it for a few seconds and have it automatically end in doing so creating a sound logo.

This is the sound logo for Mercedes Benz and as you can see it's just seconds long.

As the song posted above is quite long I found some shorter audio tracks which I have posted here.

Countdown Sound
An acoustic sound
A blues number

More stuff.

This would be used as a menu page for our mission statement, the sizing is wrong but you get the overall idea. I have also included some pieces of art which we would use and I think it would be best to combine these with some of the ones that Juan had posted earlier so that we have contemporary and classical styles. Though I know we're supposed to be quite positive I do think that these images make a nice contrast to the positivity we will be producing through the photographs, as well as the lighter tone of Juan's writing.

More stuff!

The stupid blog wouldn't allow me to load any more stuff onto the blog, so I have to make a new post.
So, here are some more images, the horizontal arrow as well as some designs with the new logo inside the frame.
Enjoy.

OMG, this stupid thing isn't letting me upload anything else, I'll post another blog and put the other images into that.
Bye.
Matthew.

The Arrow in use.

Some photo's of the arrow being used, which we can use for our gallery.
I also have some designs for our menu page here. I also have an arrow. with our logo in.
