I am making a dressing table with a vanity mirror. I hope I will get time to make a matching stool.
I am making Cabriole legs ... oh so hard.
I am going to read up on glass as I'd like to scribe a rose into the glass top, which I am going to put on my dresser.
Yeah I'm a chick too, hrm. Most of the boys havn't even started yet, and it's already been a term.

i did multimedia industries aswell
did a school website... -- which wasn't fully polished to perfection.. but i scored pretty good for it... though my portfolio was really messy
remember the portfolio is practically the most importent.. as it supports your actual project..it says that you actually did it!

But didn't finish my animating. my portfolio was pretty shit as well. you're supposed to add stuff to it once week with info on what was done. i typed all that up in two weeks, so i dont know what kind of marks i got.

Hi all, i built a mobile surveillance robot, which include a wireless camera and a 7" LCD Display in a aluminum box, it cost me over 3Grand. In the pictures below was the day before it was due. got it all together and going. Have just sold it to a security firm for 4G, and looking at either building another one now and selling that bigger and better.

Cheers

I did Multimedia industries and I made a CD-ROM aimed at 6-12y.o childern. It was to educate about the imprtance of conservation/preservation of animals and their habitats... Sounds boring yeah? well I put games and interactive videos etc and I also volunteer at taronga so I managed to get some Zookeepers to do some talks and I also got kids themselves to talk about it which made it more fun. They enjoyed the fun side of it and I'm sure it was educational cos it was actually a bit text heavy and the audio was a bit scratchy but all up I think it went down ok.

My portfolio... welll actually I had 4
1st- that one was a cd folio. It had all my video experimentations on it and my preliminary research which was a video survey thing and also my flash experiments.
2nd- this one was all my planning like storyboards and cost/time sketches, drafts etc
3rd- yes. I had an entire portfolio dedicated to research such as camera angles/shot and also vidoe/sound qualitys. ways of recording, flash v's dreamweaver, vectors v's rasters etc
4th this was all my final designs, final sketches, selection justificatons, evaluation etc


Total cost was about $500 that doesnt include my $2,500 laptop that I bought to do it on and the $550 A3 printer I used to print stuff put on cos I figured I'd use them again and the laptop I needed for home anyways the process of buying it was just sped up cos of 'EdZoocation'- my project name. The A3 printer I probably should of addeed to the cost.
Oh well

i do multimedia and i created a memory thingy of my year gp on Director, its simple with lotsa music playing and lots an lots of photos of the peoples in my year gp, some of the photos were from they were babies, seeing all the photos of the people was pretty good. Its set up like a DVD with an intro to the menu screen with different options on whether you wanted to watch the entire version that went for about 10min or 2 smaller seperate movies that went for about 4 mins each.
i only had 1 portfolio but it was pretty huge everything i needed to show was in that i didnt need extras.
i got really good marks and my entire year gp got to see it on our last day of school. From what ive heard they liked it.

The school got me to get it duplicated so that everyone got the chance to buy as part of the memrobilia stuff so thats cool! I made it bigger so know it goes for about 30mins all up! It took a long time but it was soooo worth it.

Im making a PowerPoint presentation on my multimedia class
Funk are you making a Power Point presentation for your ITM major? ummm shouldnt you be making something a little more....Interactive? I dont think you'll get many marks with a powerpoint presentation.

I can't remember who said it .... its on the first page.. If your going to make a video or whatever at least makeit interactive by allowing the user to have different options and stuff.
