This painting is currently at the Tate Modern in London. I have visited on a number of occasions and dispite it being one of the smallest in the gallery, I am drawn to this painting every time. I am a real fan of Surrealism and in particular Salvador Dalí because of the sheer talent that he and many other surrealists had.T he concept of Surrealism is to make fictional subject matter beliveable. It should provoke curiosity and a true surrealist image should be flawless. This image along with countless others by Dali, achieve this aim. The detail is extraordinary, and dispite getting as close as you can to it you cannot see any brush strokes or imperfections. This image really doesn't do it justice.

SO FAR....
Preloader...
Here are a few versions of preloader. I wanted to keep to a simplistic design but I'm not 100% on what one I will use. I prefer the first and third one, but after asking the opinion of a few of my friends I think I will keep an open mind...
Logo
I did this when I was just playing around in Illustrator. It was a bit of an accident as I was trying to achieve a 'neon sign' look, (because a black background is more energy efficient -blackle.) but I really quite like the simpler, illustrative look.
Home
This will count as one of my interactive elements. When the user hovers over the cupcake, this movie will play allowing clear navigation to the other pages on the site. As the function is hidden, I will keep to the standard website layout and have these on the left hand side. This way the user will not have to spend time searching for the links.
I took these photos with the intention of cropping them into thin strips a using them as backgrounds or separators. Now that I have changed the 'look' I was going for I'm not sure if I will use them...

Who will the audience be?
The audience is anyone of any age although we were asked to create a design that would appeal especially to families, although personally I think the people that need to be educated on the topic of firework safety are teens.
What message needs to be communicated?
That fireworks are potentially dangerous in the wrong hands and you can still have enjoy fireworks while being safe.
How will FLASH appeal to the intended audience?
FLASH elements attract the audiences attention by allowing them to interact. This encourages the user pay attention to the message that is trying to be passed on.
What are your designs for the visual appearence?
How will the interaction work?
Does the interaction increase the ability to communicate the intended message, how?

One Million Points of Light is a website "launched by British artist Andrew Pepper in February 2006.
It's aim is to produce a collaborative work which can be seen globally, anywhere there is an Internet connection and computer. This might include your home, a gallery, library, restaurant or public space. One Million Points Of Light is currently being seen in 92 countries!
The concept is simple - you, the visitor to this site, are invited to "switch on" a block of 'Internet' light on the project's homepage. and position this anywhere within a screen made up of one million points. Over the following three years the screen will fill as more and more blocks are illuminated. Eventually the finished image will have been 'drawn' by many individuals from hundreds of locations around the world."
