Stonefest Website

Here is the URL for my Stonefest website: http://seb-blaszczyk.ueuo.com/Stonefest_website/index.html

I have stuck with the design aesthetic of fluroescent splatter paints and school stationary. This is aimed at the target audience of uni students 18-25, who just want to get out and dance. There are a few areas i would have liked to clean up, like the footer and header parts as well as the transition between the paper which holds the body.

The code also could have been much cleaner, but all in all im pretty happy that it seems to work pretty well and that i got all the content in.

Week 15: Final thoughts..

Well, its finally hear, my last day of blogging for Web Design and Production, 2009. I managed to finally complete my website at 9am this morning and im pretty happy with how it finished up, even though the w3v review found 48 errors with 14 warnings which is a bit of a bummer. Ive got another two assignments breathing down my neck with only 5 hours to go and no sleep since 9am, yesterday morning, thats right going on 27 hours straight. yikes! maybe shouldn’t leave it so late next time :P.

As a final reflection on Web Design this semester, i really enjoyed the experience of building a website from scratch, its something ive always thought about doing and im happy to have done it and have no doubt learnt a great deal which i can take into the future.

Get virtual

The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect. Esther Dyson, Interview in Time Magazine, October 2005

Week 14: One week to go..

So hear we are, after another semester of uni and there is only one week to go. The pressure will be on in all fronts, with a Drama Production Project due, a Motion Graphics project, a Practice-led Research Methods Project and of course my blog theme and Final Website.

So lets strap ourself in for what is sure to be a week of much stress, anxiety and not much sleep. Let the stupidity begin.

Week 13: Getting everything on the Server

I finally managed to get some of my files onto my ueuo.com web hosting server. All the files worked really well and can be found at http://seb-blaszczyk.ueuo.com/Stonefest_website/index.html

I still have plenty of work to do, but i think this is a good start with two weeks still left.

Mastering the net….in 1997

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.

Week 12: Extension relief

What was about to be a nightmare of a weekend has thankfully been postponed to a little further down the track. Although I finished my homepage, i havent really been able to put the website together to any real decent standard, and it was a relief to hear that we have an extra three weeks.

With the work load building up from other subjects and me hitting abit of a wall with my website, i think its a good time to take a bit of a week off. Next week i will look to try and get my blog up on the web and with only three weeks to go i will have to start looking into my blog theme project, but for now, its time for a break.

Week 11: Getting the hang of CSS

CSS this and CSS that, CSS, CSS, CSS. Ive been hearing about it all term and even though i had an idea of what it does, i hadn’t actually had any idea what it looked like. Over the last week i have been exposed to the “wonderful” word of div’s, layout, font, borders and all the parts of a website that make a website look like… a website.

Combining the code and the background was a massive step for myself, and over the last week  i have started to get a hand of how the CSS works and have successfully styled the font as well as adding links and pictures.

<h1>Welcome</h1>

<p>Internationally recognised as one of the longest running music festivals on the Australian music industry calendar,
Stonefest celebrates its 40th birthday this year.</p>

<p>It’s a difficult task trying to find superlatives to sum up forty years of festival history. Suffice to say, since its inception four decades ago to commemorate the unveiling of the University of Canberra’s foundation stone, Stonefest has without a doubt organically developed its own unique place on the Australian music industry map.</p>

<p>With diverse and quirky line ups that always read like the who’s who of local, interstate, and international music talent - Stonefest organisers this year pay homage to the festivals 40th birthday with an impressive collection of artists from around the globe.</p>

<p>This year the two day music festival will utilise a new location set amongst the beautifully landscaped campus grounds.</p>
