Reflective "meta" Post
Overall I have found Networked Meadia Production very enjoyable and interesting. I think that many people underestimate the power of the internet and networking, however this subject has taught me just how powerful and important the internet is today. Another good point about this unit is that everything we have learnt is very relevant to our generation, and as a young adult I can relate to the...
Data Visualisation Summary
For my data visualization I used Last FM to record all the music that I listened to over a two week period.
This was my Las FM profile: http://www.last.fm/user/icedtea007
At first I was exactly sure what information to display, but then I decided on a pie chart to display the top five artists that I listened too. At the end of the two weeks, 50% of the songs I had listened to were by these five...

Data Visualisation...
Now that I’ve set up my Last FM profile, so all my music is being automatically saved I’m now trying to concentrate on how exactly I’m going to display the information, and what the design should be like. Some of the examples of data visualisation that I’ve seen have awsome concepts and just seem like really SMART ideas, which is what I want to do, but right now I’m...
Project B is coming together :)
Ive finally decided that for the data visualisation I’m going to display information about what music I listen to. Ive signed up for LastFM so it will record what I listen to, then I was thinking of using graphs (but I’ll make them look nice!) and lists to display the info. I was thinking of using colours and images that match the music so it looks interesting :D
So far today the top...

The past few tutes have been pretty interesting!
Its good to just look at random things on the internet and its amazing what some people can create, now that the internet has advanced so much. But I also wonder if these people have too much time on there hands, I thought the video game with the 1000 cars was awsome…but the person who did it must have ALOT of spare time!

Online Exibition Rationale
I did my online exhibition on Hampton Court Palace. I chose this because it is a topic that I find very interesting and I think that Hampton Court is a significant part of history that is still culturally important today. I also think that Hampton Court is fairly relevant to my course (Graphic Design) since I think that it is important to understand what was designed in the past, and its...

Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court is a palace in London where Henry VIII used to live. Its a really beautiful building which also has amazing gardens.
I have decided to do my online exibition on it as I think it would be a realy interesting topic and since I ued to live near it I have quite a few of my own photos and there are plenty on the internet under creative commons lisences.

Online Exibition
For the first assessment I’ve decided to do the online exhibition one. Except I’m a little confused about what exactly were meant to do, because at first I was under the impression we had to make an online gallery sort of thing, but the examples we got shown in class were quite different to that!!!
I was thinking of maybe picking an artist to make my exhibition about…like Degas...

APIs.....are weird....?!
After the lecture AND tutorial I still dont really understand API’s. There just not making any sense to me, I feel like I’m missing something…?
However, I did think that quite a few of the API examples we were shown were pretty interesting and entertaining.
Im definetly getting better at HTML!!! I knew a little to begin with but now everything is starting to make ALOT more...

My 1st Blog Post
Today in class we did a number of different things. We searched TECHNORATI for different sites that may interest us.
I found a site called www.graphicfetish.com, which was all about graphic design. It had alot of really useful tutorials on Illustrator and Photoshop, which I will definetly have another look at later. It also had different design ideas and brushes that you could download.
I also...
