Interactive website research- Garfield about page


This is the official website for the Garfield comic. The 'about Garfield' page is probably among the most interactive of the pages. Each part animates on it's own, as well as the buttons animate when the mouse is over it. Everything here is very useful to 'quick link' to many character profiles, tutorials, filmography and other nick-nacks found here.

Interactive website research- Pokemon GTS


This is an official website for the Nintendo DS games, Pokemon Daimond, Pokemon Pearl, and Pokemon Platinum.
The 3D glode in the centre rotates so the front locks onto a current trade, so you're not forced to just watch small windows all the time.
Not only that, but you are also able to search among the thousands of pokemon that are being uploaded and traded within seconds. This saves the time you would've wasted looking for them on your Nintendo DS game, which this website is a commercial product of.
There's also a daily journal, included with the most recommended pokemon and their moves, so you can discover the highlights of the DS. There's a poll on it, in which you place your vote and it is sent online, and it then shows a total percentage on that poll.
all, if not most, of the buttons are interactive. You can click a country flag, and it'll show you the pokemon available from that country, and you can even bookmark your areas and pokemon, so you don't have to write it all down.

Lightwave 3D research- Da vinchi aircraft

These designs for air-bound veicles were designed and illustrated by Leonardo Da Vinchi, who is better known for the Mona Lisa portrait.
The overall shapes of these crafts could influence some of my ideas for some futuristic hover crafts.

Lightwave 3D research: Treehouses

Lightwave 3D 'in the future' idea

This is my idea for the 3D lightwave project.
The entire world has been flooded with the result of the polar ice-caps melting, and everyone has forced to live as high up to the y as possible. As a result, buildings can be sen reaching the ozone layer, with their roofs reaching over the skies.

The Jetsons (lightwave research)

The Jetsons is an animated show from Hannah Barbera based on the future. The buildings are all typical cubism style with poles at the bottom, indicating they all come from the bottom.
Part of my lightwave idea includes buildings in the ozone layer, with some indication they come from the bottom.

futuristic City. (Light Wave Research.)


This painting was done by Nikolay Kharchunk.
It expresses the artists perspective and prediction of the future. I love the tall buildings with the red lights at the top.
