My symbol and final Box

Here is my Logo i made it by originally having my initals in a circle then just playing around i changed it to windings and i ended up rather liking it:

For my final box i made small items as representatives of the 5 items as buttons to go to the actual items and it looked like this:

Final Ideas for things going into the box

i had some problems uploading the turntables on my previous post so i am trying to reload them on a post of their own and shall do the same with the final item. my final ideas for what was going in the box are that i changed the colour of the desk the turntables were on as it did not show up in the rendered version and i animated it and put some music to it: (the following two are unregestered because i havent got the registration codes for the program yes as i had to change the size to get them onto blogger)


I changed the idea of having the carrot being choped up into making a short pixilation film of a chicken salad as follows:

I kept the same idea for the snowboard but made it into a short animation:


I didnt end up changing the avatar so it is the same as in the previous post and for the last item the picture from Tanzania, i made a frame for it so it had something to be in. which lookoed like:

orginal ideas for items going in my box

Here are the first ideas of what i was going to put in my box:

The turntables are then going to move

This is a carrot being cut up

This is my attempt on making a snowboard. I then plan to make it spin around on the X axis.

This is my avitar from our previous project. and my final item ive put into my box is a picture i took from when i was working in Tanzania of a Massai tribe's child and his cattle and the vast African plains this is to show my tranquility. Anyway here it is:

First Ideas for Interactive box

My first idea for my interactive box was to make the box a rugby ball that then opens but after making it i decided that this wasnt a very good idea and didnt look very good as you can see:



i then thought about making just a kitchen cuboard as the box due to the fact i am a keen cook and worked in a kitchen for some time during my gap year.

Switzerland - Zermatt continued

And here is my brother snowboarding with me filming it as i snowboard behind him, i found it very hard to keep the camera sturdy as you will see! hehe

Switzerland - Zermatt cont

Switzerland - Zermatt

As i spoke about before going snowboarding in Zermatt a peacefull town where there are no fuel cars, only a few electric ones and carradge and hourses. It is sittuated just below one of the most famous mountains in the world the Matterhorn at a gastly 4478 metres (14,692 ft). If you are reading this and thinking you have never heard of it then ill ask a question, have you ever eaten a toblerone bar? as this has the picture of the Matterhorn on it and it is also shaped around the Matterhorn. When it was first climbed in 1865 (by an englishman!) 4 out of the 7 people that got to the top died on the decent...well anyway i went snowboarding here in easter again and thought you all might wana see some pictures so here they are:

This is me going off piest

and this is the world known Matterhorn from a restaurant up a piest

My FInal Avatar

I made the kitchen and added a few things into it to show my personality a bit better for instance a clock to show my time managment skills and a picture of a snowboarder to show again my adrenaline side. here is the final thing....enjoy:

My Avatar - Deciding the idea

I decided against the idea of having my enviroment in the mountains as i wasnt all too sure how i would go about making it. I had two ideas now of what i may use, either a kitchen as i have been very keen on cooking all my life and this show my creative side or a rugby pitch as i am very keen on rugby. i ended up going with the idea of a kitchen as i thought i could be more creative with this.

My Avatar - first idea

When i was thinking of what to originally do i wasnt sure if i should try to create a person as my avitar or use an object to represent myself. The very first idea i did on photo shop which looked like this:

i choose this idea because firstly i snowboard am a bit of an adrenaline junkie so thought i should put a snowboard somewhere. i put droopy in because my nickname from alot of my freinds is droops and thought it would fit. and finally the idea of the mountains comes from when i was living in switzerland and this mountain is the Matterhorn which is one of the famious mountains above the town of zermatt where i go snowbaording quite often.

Second Life

When starting on the second life i was quite held back on the whole idea of it as i was sure most the people that use it are just looking to find get a relationship. I decided to use the site V-Side for this and there were not all too many options of how to create the Avitar but even so it ended up looking surprisingly similar to me here is a picture of me at the spawn location:

After using V-Side for a couple of weeks i had learnt that people were coming on it for more than just looking for relationships but also just to chat when they were board at home or just to make new freinds. I still thought it was a little bit boring though and that people using probably had not much else to do or didnt go out much. Although i was amazed by the amount of people that do actually use it. here is a picture from a club full of people dancing:

Left a bit late...

As i have not written on here for so long it ended up getting harder and harder to remember what exactly i have done. i have realised it was bad to get soo far behind on it but shall now try and review all the things i have got done. so here we go...
