Christmas Update

I have been back on the Isle of Man for a week and a half, or so now. Relaxing and writing my dissertation.

I was in the Isle of Man Examiner last week for the Uni Leaflet that I did with Tracy Kruup. Its just a short piece but they included a good photo of my beard (taken by Bing)

One of my favorite and most unexpected Christmas presents came from my sister, Freyja. It is a Bell and Howell Electric Eye 8mm silent video camera. Smart.

Also, I came across this video on the Another Limited Rebellion blog...

Christmas is coming and the goose doesn't care

I handed all of my college work in on Wednesday - check out my 301 blog - so what better way to celebrate than cooking up a big fat Christmas dinner.

Veggy Christmas Dinner: Roast carrots, caramelised carrots, roast potatoes, roast parsnip, sweet onion and swede mash, sprouts, veggy pigs in blankets, nut roast, 'chicken' roast, homemade stuffing, mushroom gravy, homemade black pepper mustard.

Pound Shop crackers: They had no prizes but did all have the same joke in...

Good Times

After dinner film: Dazed and Confused

I also got a pretty cool Christamas card (my only Christmas card) from Thompson.

It basically involves subtle Chrismas imagery - one ball of string on top of another looking like a snow man, red and green pantone swatches, etc - for each month, with a message on the inside that says how they have been waiting for Christmas all year. Good stuff, interesting format as well.

That's about it for now. I'm getting the boat back to the Isle of Man tomorrow. I'm really glad the weather is rubbish becuase I love feeling sea sick.

Final Major Project

I have just finished Module 301 and will be starting on my Final Major Project after Christmas. I will be updating this blog regularly, documenting my work.

The morning after...

I handed my work in yesterday after working for 29 hours straight.

Here are my final presentation boards:

ISTD Brief

NMM Brief

Branding Brief

Ten Pound Brief

Also, in true Kyle Bibby style I found a folder today (the day after my deadline) that I thought I lost, that contained some back up work and research....



Any thats probably it for this blog now, I'll be starting a new one for my Final Major Project soonish. Exciting.

Flash (aaaah aaaaaah)

I have been making these Flash animations over the last week or so, but couldn't find anywhere to upload them for free. Today I discovered Go2Album, so here they are.



If this is being 'clitchy', or crops the right of the banner off, click here to see it full size and quality.

This is a standard sized web banner. I will be used to promote the campaign and will link to the website. It will also be available to a donor to embed into his own website to show his support for the campaign.



This is the Facebook web icon/graphic that will be available to the donor. It will appear on their Facebook profile in the column on the left hand side (with the games and the photo albums):






This is also available to donors after they sign up. the dimensions are suitable for Myspace, but can also be embedded onto another website/blog.

This is a screengrab of my Myspace profile (that I haven't touched in years) with the banner embedded.
