Collaborative project...

Back home in Essex i agreed to do a collaborative project with a friend Jon, where by he could learn a bit of flash and I could extend my portfolio with experimental art work.

We decided (eventually) on a game of hangman, taking the traditional game and making it an online experience that would allow the user to play against the computer or set words themselves. The keys on the keyboard would be pressed and the user would see a response on screen...this follows on from the negotiated project idea.

We spent a while taking photos in the woods, and making a basic version of the hangman game in flash using action script...

Although the game could easily be finished in an hour as it stands, we are making it a highly visual piece...with much more emphasis on the graphic design and illustration...below are a few ideas so far that we will hopefully work into some more:

Moving Out and the last week


above(left to right): 1.the midnight sky in plymouh 2.last few nights on the terrace doing fire poi
It seemed to take several days to completley empty my house in greenbank of everything in it; this involved a large amount of stress and hard work...Being as my things are stored at two friends houses, the landlord more or less a resident at the end of the week (what with turning up at random first thing in the morning and seeing him every day), and not knowing quite where i should/would be living full stop...

Despite all this all is well as i decided to come back to essex for a while and stay with my nan...


Since being here i have caught up with friends in london and at Toms bbq party (cheers Tom if your reading this by the way).
