Time management in Creative Multimedia and Programming


Time Management in Creative Multimedia Programming.


The volume of  work in Creative Multimedia is time consuming SO MAKE TIME ..


30 seconds of 3D animation, it takes approx 5 hours plus of drawing and rendering.
(3D Pool table on you tube.)

A Html basic website with html and CSS can consume you.
You have to put a time limit on it as you will always keep adding to it.  a perfectionist is never finished.


Example :The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, Barcellona, started construction on 19 March 1882 and is still not finished.


Remember write down what you want your site to do,  and what it will look like before you start coding.
Coding can draw you in the site you were hoping to develop can become a monster growing and growing.

 But also there is also so much that can be added to HTML / CSS. the deeper you go the more dynamic you can make it.

Do a project plan , before you start, and stick to it.

Whats difficult in Creative Multimedia Programming

Not everybody will pick up coding,3D or other subjects that easily.


Everybody starts at the same level and the learning curve is steep to being with.
Some people find it longer than others to get to grips with the subjects and getting back into a classroom setting.
But with the help of the Lecturers and the saintly Learning Support Unit you will find help if needed.

I personally found PHP coding hard but if you put the time into it. It will start to come together.


Most of the students have already experienced the real world with a mixture of mature students and adults looking for a change in career.

A broad spectrum of people are part of our class from teachers, security personal, artists, marketing professionals, musicians , social care workers, and construction personnel.

Everybody in the class helps each other out at some point in the class.

This course is for everyone that would like a change in career.
To progress in life we constantly have to keep updating our life skills or we wont go any where exciting.

A little help from  Classmates and Lecturers 





Skeleton html File for your first website From Creative Multiimedia Programming

But why go all this trouble when facebook is there.

Not everybody is on facebook, and you won't learn new skills that are easily transferable to other aspects of programming, marketing , worldwide web domination ?  ,that will open new doors to opportunities after completing Creative Multimedia Programming.

1. Open bracketts or notepadd ++
2. Click file new
3. Copy and paste the code below in to the first blank page.
4. File and save as Index.html in the folder you have created on your desktop.
5. Open your folder and double click on the file it will run your very first webpage.

It will be a basic web page but everything must start small and as you add and change it the possibilities become endless.

My first attempt was shockingly bad and i fought against it. but as things started to work i enjoyed adding to my website and developing it further.

Now my websites are accessible through your phone, tablet, laptop or PC.
I am no tech wiz kid but seeing this build up as you add a little here and there spurs you on to go deeper in to HTML and CSS.

Build and Develop Responsive websites from Your own computer with Creative Multimedia Programming

No Need for a fancy PC or software, 

Just download a free open source software package called Bracketts  
 or Notepad ++  
With the help of Lynda.com or Quentin Watt on youtube which i personally recommend covers every thing you need to know down to the very basics and up to the very complicated.

You can start building a basic website which in the end, will have all the bells and whistles on it from javascript files to  video files, and 3D images and drawings that you can design and make yourself. .and make your site do everything any website on the world wide web can do.

Yes Creative Multimedia Programming also learns you how to create 3D characters and models that can go with your website.


3Ds max is also available for dowload and free to students of Creative Multimedia Programming. 

Check Out Martin mc Inerneys 3D examples from 2015/2016 class. Some of his examples might lead to a career in gaming or Oculas Rift or Visual Reality.

Some of the students in Creative Multimedia And Programming have become accomplished Graphic Designers and UI (user Interface) designers and did not know that this avenue was open to them when they started this course.
Students are now highly skilled and technical in Photoshop , Illustrator , In Design, Axure, We currently have a fine selection  of portfolios on issu.com.
 
The next Post willl give you a skeleton file you can copy and paste to start you on your first website.
