Post 50 - Digital video

Now I am up to my fiftieth post on this blog. It is much easier to post when you don't assignments that need to be done running through your mind. Here is the last video I'm going to post. The video is of a project we were doing to create a campaign for Drinkaware. Our angle was to target drinking games in Ireland and how drinking at a fast pace can prove to ruin a night

Washington DC street acts

Walking by Chinatown in Washington DC, I had to stop to watch these guys. For a two man band they sound incredible. The audio from my camera does not do them any justice

More artwork

Three years ago I spent some time studying in the states in a university called Frostburg State University. It was great to see how the education system over there varies from what it is like in Ireland. I got the opportunity to study drawing, which I hadn't practiced for years. We experimented with many different techniques as well as many different mediums. Here is some of the work I did while I was over there

Taking up painting

Last year I thought it would be a great idea to take up painting. I already liked drawing so I felt I would love this. I learned quickly that painting takes a lot of precision and patience. The Sistine Chapel was not done in a day. Well either was my first painting, I can assure you. It didn't turn out too bad for my first attempt. The scene is based in quilty in Co.Clare.

Old work

Long before I started the creative multimedia programming course I started using Photoshop. I always liked to experiment with images and every day object some human characteristics. In this image you will see a Budweiser bottle relaxing with some popcorn drinking, well ya he's drinking a man

Some old interface design work

Citizens information website

In our first semester one of the projects we were given was to re-design the Citizens information website. Each group was given a section as well as the home page; mine was the travel and recreation section. I created four designs A home screen for the desktop and mobile and the travel and recreation for desktop and mobile.

3D project

I am going to add some posts to this blog of some old creative multimedia programming which I have done. I hope you like it. Here is a 3D animation of a pool table that I made over the Christmas period.

Music vs concentration

Study techniques

Everyone tends to have different study techniques. Some people can study in a group while some need complete isolation. Some people listen to loud music, which seems to help them concentrate. Others may find that music would distract them from their studies. For me I find that light music helps, It brightens up the thought of having to study for hours, however if something needs deep concentration I will turn it off or pause the song that is playing

Currently I am listening to Ben Howard. His light acoustics is creating a good atmosphere.

Last assignment underway

Last creative multimedia programming assignment

I'm just starting my last assignment for this course. Or perhaps my last college assignment ever. I must create a comparison between Cake and Code igniter. Currently I have no knowledge of Cake whatsoever. Let's hope learning about it is as enjoyable as eating it.

A big glass of link juice

Creative multimedia programming

So on a hot day like today my blog looks parched so I'm going to give it some link juice.

Further education at GTI

Also I think I've lacked on imagery throughout this project so I'll try and spice it up a bit.

What's left?

Coming to the end of the year I am down to three assignments left. I must create a report for comparing Cake with Code igniter. I must complete a project management file and while I have the report for this SEO project done I will keep blogging away to increase my page rank. My portfolio on issuu.com needs some updating to include Flash, PHP and my phone interface design, however this will be an ongoing job after my exams. Here is a link to the portfolio as it currently stands.

Web protocol presentation

Creative multimedia programming

Another one bites the dust. The work load is slowly but surely decreasing. I am ten days away from finishing my HDip in creative multimedia programming. Today was the day for group presentations on evolving web technologies. Our topic was web protocols. While at first this seemed like a dull and painful topic to undertake, it turned out to be quite interesting. It's good to know how data is transferred from one host to the next. I found FTP and SFTP to have very signifigant differences. I found that the internet really relies on the TCP/IP protocol. Email relies on the POP and IMAP protocols as well as SMTP, however specific vendors may have their own proprietary protocols

I know that there are a lot of abbreviations in web protocols and these may be forgotten but it will come in useful to know, the main ones and what means of transfer they cover.

Up the ranks

Step up or go unnoticed

So while finishing the main project I left this one fall to the side a little but needless to say I am back and ready to step up the ranks of the search engine.

It was nice to see how the Apple Developer program worked and how you must deploy an app a device. So basically I was building my application in Adobe Flash and deploying it via Adobe Air. Here are the stages I went through to get the documentation I needed from the Apple Developers program.

• Create a certificate in keychain access. Export this certificate to a place on the desktop. You will be required to enter a App password and a keychain access password.
• Enter the developer program. I entered through the university program
• Upload the certificate you have created for approval.
• Create an App ID
• Register your device using your UDID. This can be found when you plug your device into iTunes
• Create a provisioning profile. You must choose your certificate, UDID, and App ID in the provisioning profile.
• Download these documents

You then go to Publish Settings inside in Adobe Flash. Fill in your preferences. You must upload your provisioning profile and certificate in the deployment screen. You can choose to install directly to device or for testing. If it is for testing, click publish. Import the provisioning profile into iTunes, then import the ipa file. Plug in device and sync so the app will install on your device

Main project finito

All done

So while still experiencing the tremors of the main project I must say it was quite a busy week. I'm glad that it's done and handed in. Now it's time to concentrate on my SEO project and also my comparison project, which I must do between cake and Code Igniter. After having a two days period without college work, I can say it was nice to surf through the net and browse through some new technology.

A very interesting product I found was the 3D pen. It is amazing to see that a 3D model can actually be drawn by hand. Have a look and see for yourself.

Deadline approach

Creative Multimedia Programming

As the deadline approaches for this SEO project. I have a tough task in getting my page rank higher. Currently I lie on page four of a Google search

I hope to get this up to at least page three. Here are a few links that I hope may top this up. These link contain some of the software that I have worked with throughout my multimedia education.

Nice to have a brief description about it.

web protocol

So next in line for the projects is web protocol. Currently I do not have much information about it but I know that the http:// is a protocol that sends a request to a server. I am also aware that https:// is the secure protocol that keeps away hackers. Now to learn about in a bit more depth.

Another great advert

Similar to my last post here is another example of some great advertising techniques. LG did a magnificent job in promoting the quality of their new televisions through their elevator advert. It really gave a shock element to the audience. I won't give away what it's about but have a look and see for yourself.

LG advert

Amazing advertising work

This is a great ad. Unbelievable us of Creative Multimedia content. You can see how it really engages with its audience. Of course Pepsi will benefit immensely from this sort of advertising but this style of advertising definitely beats pop up ads that you see online or in applications. Have a look an see for yourself. Pepsi

Local vs international multimedia companies

So where would be your preference to get a job done, an international market or a national market. Theres such a huge market out there the choice is endless. The things to consider are pricing, delivery times, quality and reliability. While many well known sites have great reputations there are quite a few that cannot be trusted. In Ireland local markets can be much more expensive than foreign markets. Which is why so many people rely on online shopping sites such as Amazon and Ebay.
In my own recent experience I had to pick a web hosting contract for my Creative Multimedia Programming website. I looked at the local market and the prices were way out of the range of a student like myself. I came across iPage and there was an offer of $1 a month. After looking into the plan and finding the live chat very helpful I decided to go with it. In comparison to the Irish host I was looking at it saved me €35.

Online forums

Every programmer can come into difficulty with different scripts. Nobody is perfect. It is great to know that there is more than likely an answer to your problem online. The only task is to try and find this answer. Online forums are a great resource for this. Specifically Stack Overflow is fantastic for finding answers to any queries you may have and Git Hub is a great resource for open source file types.

Programmers guide

w3schools tends to be the essential resource for all programmers. While it can give brief and simplistic examples of programming functionality it explains each concept in a very precise manner. In this page they explain the meaning of the word Multimedia.

Job post

One of the most important tasks of the year is to get a job. It it is essential so go online and see whats out there to get a grip of everything that is out there. Here is one job I recently found.

Articles

It's always great to find out about the latest technology.  There are so many resources for online news articles but which ones would suit the creative multimedia programming sector. Here is a list of the online news journals that I use.

Cnet
Appy Geek
Engadget
Gizmodo

Google isn't just a search bar

Ok so everyone knows the major capabilities of Google. Searching, blogging, cloud storage, android app store, Search analytics, the list goes on. The question I have is how many people know about all the quirky search options Google has. Search any of these for what I find to be great enjoyment.

1. Do a barrel roll
2. Chuck Norris
3. anagram
4. Askew
5. Google gravity
6. Let it snow

It just shows how that a career at Google would be so much more than sitting at a computer computer. It's about innovation, expression of opinions and integration of these opinions into the constant growth of web technology. It would be a sheer privilege to work in the environment of Creative Multimedia Programming for a company like Google.

Surfing through the net, I found this beauty. It isn't anything special but I really do like the design. Some great colour schemes adapted by the designer. Bravo. Excellent creative multimedia programming work

Limerick City of Culture

This is a video we made at the start of the year promoting Limerick City of Culture. It shows experimentation with different angles and shots and some practice with cutaway shots. It is important to get the word out about Limerick City of Culture and inform the public of the ongoings.

Some portfolio researching

Here is a great Creative Multimedia Programming portfolio, which I found. It showcases some very good professional design work.

Multimedia product research

Sometimes it's nice to just sit down, and surf through the web for upcoming Creative Multimedia devices. Comparing these products with the competition can be a long but insightful task. It's hard to find good reviews but I've always found CNET to be very engaging and useful.

Here is a link to a current article I am reading that compares mobile technologies.

Great course

I would highly recommend for anyone to do a Course in Creative Multimedia Programming in L.I.T. I am in the final few months of the HDip Course and the material that was covered was astounding.
The modules broad range of modules that I have covered in such a short period include.

Interactive interface design (UI Design / Ux Design)
Web Development
3D Graphics
Web Programming (PHP, JavaScript)
Project Management
