Nick Frost Insipration

Presenter of Danger 50,000 Volts, Nick Frost, in his programme about getting out of danger in everyday life, in a comical and sattirical way. A context our website intends to display...

Cockpit Animation














A picture designed from the books' original line drawing for 'how to land a plane'. Edited in Corel-Draw x4 with colour to give it a cartoon style, I thought this could be used to add rollovers in dreamweaver, or even turn it into an animation for the website.

Anyway, its just a thought...

A Start...

We have chosen to design an interactive website around a series of books titled 'The Worst-case Scenario'. The books features hints and tips on how to stay calm in the most awkward situations life gets you in.

Thinking tactfully we decided to choose the university based book and drew our inspiration from that, and applying those to the situations we have also faced as students.

We have started to look at ways to create an appropriate context to our interactive website by exploring possible university based themes. We thought aboud different media, such as film, and how we could create a sattirical survival show. Like Ray Mears with an attitude. We thought about how the context could fit a story, with a first person perspective to the whole idea. We have thought about appropriate style and humour content and have some great initial ideas to get us started.
