I was originally going to do question 2 for my project B assignment but have now changed it to question 1. I have chosen to do a data visualisation! I chose to center the assignment on a personal account of my freinds weekly activities. i done this using esxcel then arranged the data in different ways-graphs. I am yet to complete my rational but so far its coming along smoothly.

This week i have been working on the final project for this unit. I will be doing question 2 of project B and plan to do a historical theme, mainly concentrating on statues/plaques that represent a piece of history from the 1900’s in canberra.

During todays tute,The class looked at some interesting examples of ‘Multiplicity’. An example that stood out to me was the works of Jason Salavon and the first example that was shown-Photos of people in the city within a theme-smoking, holding flowers, looking up, all wearing one color. The first example got me thinking about what i may do for Project B. I also found the youtube clip...
just another blog entry!!
After reading the “We are the web” article, it gave me more of an understanding as to how the internet has evolved overtime and what it was like back then as opposed to now. Its weird to think what it would be like without the internet because its so widely used.
“But if we have learned anything in the past decade, it is the plausibility of the impossible”.p.2 I think this...

Project A Rational
Take an existing website that includes significant user transactions: examples include
online shopping, financial sites, social sites and the like. Diagram the site’s
information flow, with particular attention given to user management - login,
passwords and preferences. Critique the way the site handles that flow: how could it
be improved? Compare the site’s approaches with...

During class today, i have been working on my first assignment for Networked media. Its harder than i thought! I plan to do question 1 and relate it to facebook. I am in the process of making a facebook information flow diagram. At the moment i am looking on the net for other flow diagrams to get an idea of how to set it out. The flickr concept model has given me a better understanding of how a...

Mashups and APIs
This weeks lecture on Mashups and APIs was very useful. I now know what an API is and its purpose! I now understand that APIs let the public extend sites, share data ect. I think its a good way of getting people to express their ideas by being able to alter a site that already exists. very creative :) Mashups- sites that are comined in one-Google maps helped me understand the meaning...
Blog 2
During weeks 3 tutorial, we began working with HTMl and CSS. We used the “Icelab cream sandwhiches” site as an example and re-created the site in wrangler using HTML. I found this lesson interesting and practical-which is what i like. It was interesting to know how HTML and CSS actually work. I have worked with dreamweaver over my past few years at uni and have only briefly skimmed...
