*UPDATE*
Well the navigation for my portfolio is finished. I feel that i have added all the pretty things that make it look that much better. So all that i need now is my dynamic gallery and the portfolio will be complete. Hopefully between 2-4 weeks ill have my own domain name and hosting and the rest of that Jaz. Im a little worried about the funds required but if i cant get my own my presentation, ill put it on my brothers site, then my the expo i should have my own.
Im in the process of gathering some content for my portfolio and feel that i have enough for design, and animation, put photography im a little short on so we will have to remedy that.
Im also thinking about the physical portfolio, and i have eliminated the need for professional printing as i have access to a high quality printer so i am able to print everything for minimal amounts.
So if all goes well my portfolio should be finished by this time next week, if not by then, soon after.

I Heart Productivity!
Well, ive been working solidly on the layout of this portfolio, getting the buttons sorted out (which im super happy with) and getting the menu area sorted also. Now that these are done i can start to worry about the important stuff, which really is the dynamic gallery code!
So here are some updated screen shots:
So from here i want to also add some cool rollOver and rollOut stuff over the trees, like birds flying out, growing leaves, dropping twigs, or blowing in the breeze. These are just some options that i may choose to go with.
But right now im tired, and going to bed.

In The Making.....
I thought it was about time for another post to the blog with some updates on the portfolio. The introduction is next to complete, there are a few fine edges that need to be fixed but that is not my priority at this point in time.
I have been working on my actual portfolio, and am getting closer to a final design that i like... The only thing that is bugging me now is the buttons. The ones shown are modified from the mock-up post below and the one showed in presentation. Although these buttons are not as thin and irritating to click on, i think that they still do not quite fit in to the overall layout, its like pancakes with tomato sauce, something just isn't right.
Here are some screen prints for your eyes to feast on:
If you have not already guessed, these are progressive screen shots, first being the initial page, second the rollover, third the click.
As you can see there is no menu as yet, but it is being worked on before and after this entry. But you may have noticed the birds in the background, these are the same birds from the intro animation and they fly continuously and randomly in the background thanks to a basic partical system. i have limited the birds to 4 on the screen at one time so it does not get too chaotic, but just enough to please the eye.
There are a few bugs in the code still that involve the rollovers and the button titles but nothing to drastic for the time being.. im sure when content is added i will start to sweet blood.
So yeah, please comment on this and give your opinion on what i should do about the buttons. its hard for me to make new stuff coz im looking at it all the time.. Some fresh eyes on this would be greatly appreciated.
