24.02.10: Dissertation freedom!

The 8000 word dissertation is now handed in and I can focus more on the FMP. I worked the topic of the writing project to fit in with the FMP to make it easier to write as I was interested in the subject and so that it had more relevance. I assessed the use of history in TV, film and games and used the research to help inform my own historical referencing. I may make it into a pdf so it can be accessed online as well as having a copy at the degree show.

Speaking of online, I have started building a new website to showcase my uni and other work and to be more personal. I am designing it in the style of the pamphlets which really typify the era and visual quality of my FMP, which should make it more interesting to navigate; using flash to make some simple animation.

I have also printed a few more of the pamphlets and I think they work really well on the calligraphy parchment. Next up is my adventure in the unreal engine, which several people seem to be having problems with. I am going to look at 3ds max to see how easy it is to model in compared to Sketchup, but either way I intend to use 100% my own materials.
