We were assigned to keep track of our progress in the class by updating our blog, of which I obviously did a fantastic job. It's basically a web design class focusing on HTML, CSS, Dreamweaver, and Flash. We had three core assignments: an HTML site created using CSS, a kinetic typography animation using flash, and finally a Flash website, all based on content of our choosing.<br /><br />First off, my HTML site is sort of a watered-down database of Quentin Tarantino movies. Inglourious Basterds came out right as we were assigned this project. You can view it <a href="http://fall09-1.graphicinterfacedesign.com/aclark/html/HTML%20site/">here</a>.<br /><br />Second was the kinetic type animation. We were assigned to chose a 30 second clip of dialogue from a movie and animate it using typography and Flash. You can view mine <a href="http://fall09-1.graphicinterfacedesign.com/aclark/anim/flash_anim_v3.html">here</a>. I'll have it up on youtube soon so it will play easier in this window, but it takes like half a day to upload on their server.<br /><br />And finally my flash site. With some help from my dear friend, Ashlee Clapie, I was able to come up with a subject that wasn't some sport my family does or some random hobby (not that there is anything wrong with that) that I could still make a cool site without things getting all gimmicky. I decided to make a directory site about four famous or up-and-coming photographers that have (recently or not) focused on black and white images. You can view that <a href="http://fall09-1.graphicinterfacedesign.com/aclark/flash/b&w.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Let me know what you kittens think. I'll be posting much more as soon as finals are over (woot!).<br /><br />Peace.MacKayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03060799040657523106noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021948558918778097.post-34886126460879987322009-11-21T21:57:00.001-08:002009-11-21T21:59:32.256-08:00The Designer/Client Relationship.I promise I will have more posts soon.

MySpace pics from the driver's seat of cars and "photoboming." Urban Dictionary defines said term as <span style="font-style: italic;">"Any time the background of a picture hijacks the original focus</span>." There is an entire blog (as you might expect) dedicated to this particular practice. I suggest you visit thisisphotobomb.com (but be warned, some material may be considered sensitive).<br /><br />But, also, why in the name of all things "holy" do people even begin to take pictures like this? My innocense wouldn't be scarred by the sight of that child's face if this woman would have chosen to take her picture elsewhere. Go to your (facebook/myspace) right now. I'd be willing to bet at least one half of your friends (non-gender specific) has at least one of these pictures displayed for the free world to see. My question is WHY?? What is it about the front seat of a car that makes people seem to think the aesthetic of their photo would be even remotely improved? And why in the world are you not watching the ROAD?!<br /><br />Hi world. My name is _____. I'm __ years old. I live in ________ and, as you can see from my picture, I own at least the same parts of the inside of a car as half of my friends.MacKayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03060799040657523106noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021948558918778097.post-74860747313770272372009-05-21T13:45:00.000-07:002009-05-21T14:20:13.467-07:00I'd rather be dead than let that other guy get in my lane. -Old Utahn proverb<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://s.giantrealm.com/content/st611_road%20warrior.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 397px; height: 212px;" src="http://s.giantrealm.com/content/st611_road%20warrior.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />If you aren't familiar with the freeway system near Salt Lake, watch the scene from Armageddon where they're on the asteroid. Everyone is going way too fast to control themselves, more than half the people involved are probably going to be dead, and there's no way of leaving until something explodes. Plus, if Ben Affleck were there, he'd probably cry.<br /><br />I'm also pretty sure it was filmed there on location.<br /><br />My jobs call for using this brilliantly constructed and even more-so brilliantly utilized cluster-f[***] of a freeway at least 3 times a week. Those 3 times involve a 40-minute commute, I should mention. I've had more near-death experiences today than half the cast of Ice Road Truckers collectively.<br /><br />My favorite part of the day was this little lesson. Apparently its perfectly legal for a semi pulling two trailers to merge into my lane without signaling while I'm beside it. Then what does this guy do? Flag me on to "go around!!" Great idea, except even when these people see I've nearly been be-headed by a Peterbilt, they see that as just another delay in their schedule and choose to speed up next to me. This sort of thing makes me doubt Darwinism.

It's amazing.<br /><br />I've developed quite a dependence on it. I don't know how they found such a perfect cast. Everyone even looks 50s. The colors are fantastic, resembling movies and advertisements from the era. Oh, and have you seen photo shoots? I've never seen such an impressing Google Image search (let alone any impressive Google Image search, for that matter). It's incredibly witty and quotable, where the dialogue just kind of hits you, rather than being shoved in your face (see Pushing Daisies) . It has that sort of "the writers must have known the entire story from day 1" feeling (see Lost, Arrested Development), and the colors and backgrounds used are an art themselves (see Ugly Betty, only much better). You could take a still from 80% of the film of each episode, and it could be published. They threw in the controversial "gay characters" (see The Sopranos), but gave it much more purpose and it makes a dramatic reflection of the time period. Once you make it to the episode "Shoot" (Season 1, Episode 9), you may be as awed as I was at how many genius references there were to the word "shoot" throughout. And the ending to that episode was FANTASTIC.<br /><br />I've already word-binged all over this post, and I'm sure I'm going to rave about this show more later, so I'll spare you for now.<br /><br />Just watch it, though. You'll know what I'm talking about. If you don't, I don't know if we should be friends anymore.<br /><br />Enjoy.MacKayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03060799040657523106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021948558918778097.post-74936217560639518562008-12-29T23:54:00.000-08:002008-12-30T00:22:10.794-08:00The only thing worse than making a Christmas albumis endorsing a commemorative coin.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDkv8cBMpKrvG9uMUVPeZz-BGkgOhCZzx61_5Uw_CVTvma2ELhlvHH2iOIrMXO-zcFsiRR1TyyTVBcuxRVn3PGTwR0f2L7Dy63jm8WXtp3qGQT3np_rRfi7g0snl_6hR6bOO9z8uN0Cg1u/s1600-h/obama+coin.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 164px; height: 159px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDkv8cBMpKrvG9uMUVPeZz-BGkgOhCZzx61_5Uw_CVTvma2ELhlvHH2iOIrMXO-zcFsiRR1TyyTVBcuxRVn3PGTwR0f2L7Dy63jm8WXtp3qGQT3np_rRfi7g0snl_6hR6bOO9z8uN0Cg1u/s400/obama+coin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285490483978926770" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS4841fT8pJxcGsLvCjPDFPcs3k8TVYPaQK5VwnBboPunZQ26sd118ZhyphenhyphenZFrOR5SXFHXY6f5_zlpCbE572eqjX57QOlcXOctYWmQ_u_BHDpyHIL0tuV2D_TwaRuCSnH10-TINZbA-UsFTP/s1600-h/michael+halloween.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 159px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS4841fT8pJxcGsLvCjPDFPcs3k8TVYPaQK5VwnBboPunZQ26sd118ZhyphenhyphenZFrOR5SXFHXY6f5_zlpCbE572eqjX57QOlcXOctYWmQ_u_BHDpyHIL0tuV2D_TwaRuCSnH10-TINZbA-UsFTP/s400/michael+halloween.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285490488263573010" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I realize Montel Williams is like the Detroit of respectable human beings, but I miss the days where I was able to avoid seeing him by avoiding his show.
