Concept Proposal

Presentation of Quartz Blog

I really like the presentation of one of the Quartz Composer blogs that I have found. I think I would like for my web site to have the same sort of presentation with the black background and the white text, because I think its quite simple but effective.

DJ Magazines

I have noticed in a few DJ magazines lately that they are including articles about VJing including software’s you can use and artists in the field. It seems that VJing is becoming more and more popular, however at the moment I don’t feel there are resources to support it.

Idea Development

I have spoken to Ian about my final idea for a project for this module and he has told me that it is possible to do, which I am pleased about. I have decided to go along with the VJ website web site resource and to also use Quartz as a VJing tool taking videos from my site because I wanted to produce a work with an offline presence as well as an online presence.

Widgets

For one of my initial ideas I was looking into producing a widget of some kind that maybe involved geotagging or geocaching for my project. I still quite like the idea of producing one and then for anyone to be able to download it onto their computer and use it. However, I am really into my other idea about providing a website and resource for VJs and to make something more useful. I could however develop this idea into a widget but I think I would prefer for it to be on a website.

Google Widgets

Google are now providing widgets for people to use on their desktop, the same sort of thing as Apple have with their widgets. They now enable anyone to produce one of these widgets and their site enables you to download a Google Desktop SDK which includes everything to help you produce a Google Dashboard Widget. It includes the documentation of how to do it, some sample code using various APIs and also tutorials and developer tools. So really anyone with a bit of time and patience could probably produce one.

Other Students Blogs

I had a quick look at most of the other students blogs again the other day just to see how everyone is getting on with their blogs and work. It is quite good to see what other people have researched and what their ideas are for the project. Every ones ideas all seem very different, which I think is good thing because every one is interested in different things which also opens the rest of us up to knew ideas. Just by looking at Rob’s and Rebecca’s ideas you can see the wide range of ideas and work going on.
