Ive finished the barbours pole animation, ive found it hard trying to make it look like the pole is spinning, this is the best i could do in the time i had.

Morning Person

Leila thats awesome, hehe, can't wait ot see it later.

I've been thinking our page is alittle flat so I've been up since a reasonable time for once playing with textures.

[and the uploaded doesn't seem to be wanting ot play :(]

anyways I'll show you in about 15 min none the less.

We need to ask this simon geezer about adding sound, centering the pages into the browser window and wheteher or not its possiblke to paste a transparancy into dreamweaver, i.e. have the texture as the backgorund with the type or beard as an image with all the white spaces as transparant.

Close up of page

first page

Ive only managed to make one page so far, ive had to use image ready because i couldnt download dreamweaver. Its an animation of different bugs running through the beard, ive made different layers so the bugs run underneath some of the hairs. Also on the left side of the page a hair grows and the mans eyes move from side to side. Ill try and use dreamweaver for the other pages i make.

Quick Crit

can imagine how long it took you to do the text beard... it took my f88king ages to draw it out. Looks wicked, especially like the idex page. the use of the colours for the direction arrows from the beard strands. def coming together. im gonna draw up the index page and the other page tomra evening, for presentation visual. and when the pages are finished will print them out large to show what we wanted to do and what we did do. that will prob be on monday seeing that we need to present it on tuesday.

Did u c the idea i had for the scissors page??
when the scissors clip together, the text or letters fall from it and form a sentece like on the comb. then you click on the sentence to get up a window showing the type of beard for that page.
The falling letters or words are ment to be like hairs falling when you trim down your beard.

i wasnt able to get a video of me shaving my beard off, got the video recorder but forgot to get the tape, and by the tym i went to film it. the shop had closed. but if you want, can use the images of my beard that i have already posted.

you u aint done the arrows for the text page yet, an idea i had was to use road type arrows to keep with the theme of the roads of nottingham, but have them coming out and going in to the beard to give it abit more depth.

Babarus Nautilus

The first page within the depths of the beard looks like this



The fish when rolled over open its mouth, as something random I wanted to get it to link to this song

Fish heads



but as of yet I can't get it too work... well to be honest I didn't try very hard it isn't really important... i've just wanted to get it into a project sinch forever, lol.

The comb is an animated gif (click to view)



It only plays once and doesn't repeat, so it looks smooth on the rollover, not like the manic mechanise sex toy in the link... i just put the animation on repeat so you didn't have to keep hititng the refresh button.

When the comb is clicked the user is directed in another window to a page about a type of beard (Barbaus Nautilus in this case). The background looks like so...



With said gibberish inside the big white space...

Barbarus Nautilus
Barbarus Nautilus or the nautical beard dwells upon the sea and in coastal regions, having adapted a method of eating similar to the Baleen whale. Its long bristles act much like the combed teeth within a large whales mouth, trapping food as it filters though the water.

The nautical beard found its way into Nottingham in 1762 when the Nottingham authories took to provide light in the form of slow burning Whale oil lamps for the general pubic, two of these lamps remain, One, a somewhat elaborate one at the foot of the steps at the south east corner of St. Mary's Churchyard and the other a very simple one at the corner of Kaye's Walk and St. Mary's Gate. The oil was greasy and foul smelling and, to the 16th century reisdences discomfort, kept underneath the steps of the guildhall in Weekday Cross. This oil was procured from the skippers of whaling ships from whitby and other north eastern coastal towns, thier salty dog crew occasionally bringing grisly trophies from thier voyages at sea in the form of giant skeletons! Such a gruesome reminder remains in the city today, as a signboard for the pub "Royal children".

The place names link to the Typogrpahical map of Nottingham

I'll cite the sources of the information at a later date, but right now its twenty past six in the morning,and now I've gotta get ready to be on the bus for work in an hour!

Index

Ok I've created our index page, it contains no photographic imagery like the other page (which i'll also upload in a bit) as It's just a lead to the other pages in which the user will then encounter the imagery. Its a shame we don't have a webhosting that we can upload the actual pages to so you can see how they all link.



When the arrows are "rolled over" they change colour



When the arrows are clicked by the user they are directed to another part of the site within the same window.
