Cyfle-D10-Rob Lloyd

Week Sixteen
22nd January to 26th Janaury 2007


Good god I'm 25. That's a quarter of a century. I have two dodgy knees, a clicky hip, stiff shoulders, shin splints (at least I reckon they are!) and a sore neck. What'll I be like at fifty! I'll be a jibbering mess upon the floor. Rather like most friday nights...

Well the brief are going ok so far. We've come up with some concepts for Mygo, including, floaty sinky, lightflower, and a few other random names. All based on a wee blob called JellyMan. They did say blue sky.....

Week Fifteen
15th January-19th January 2007

Busy week again! Well, actually thats a little porky, it needn't have been that busy had me and James done what we inteded to do in the first place and actually signed off the documentation last week. As it was, we didn't. To be fair we were a little wrapped up in discussing James' Contraction and Convergence project. It's a website he's invited us D10enners to help build with the aim of motivating students to join in the C and C campaign. More info can be found on google but its basically a way of cutting C02 emmisons by putting a cap on the worlds emmision levels and distributing it according to size, population, current levels etc. The cool thing being that less developed countries with high populations can trade there emmision levels for hard currency. Check it out!

We recieved our briefs this week. Myself and Nic paired up to set up some kind of website or flash application for an local pop artist named Kristi. You can find her on the promo-cymru website.

It's exciting to be working with such a talented designer as Nic and I'm sure there'll be lots of fun and giggle along the way.

The second brief is sweet as. We have to produce a game for Mygo, a Malaysian game company. It's totally blue sky so we have to get our thinking caps on and come up with something totally different that will appeal across nations, genders and ages. Simple then.....

I'm in a great group including Tom, Carol, Nic and Gareth. It's really going to test us but you've gotta love the challenge!

So the end of the week

Week Fourteen
8th January-12th January 2007

Another Christmas over. Another Turkey well and truly butchered. No snow as usual...
Well it'd great to back in D10 we've got some wicked briefs on the horizon, including one from a Malyasian games company which should really test our brains!!

Relatively quiet week back going through the debriefs for the Belonging project and writing up the documentation. Still trying to shift mince pies from the fridge....
