Today I worked on refining the website sketches, putting the navigation into different layers in illustrator so that I can easily click though them tomorrow in class. I'm thinking of getting rid of the first layer of navigation, EDUCATE — but keeping EXPERIMENT on the far right of the page to keep it a separate little part of the site.
I'm going to join Lynda.com and start learning everything that I am going to need to know in order to actually build the site in Flash. I want there to be a lot of smooth animations between the pages and in the navigation. I'm also looking at putting a RSS feed into the homepage so that other info about 3D will be fed into my site, and reformatted to match my layout styles. Not sure how the hell to do it yet, or if it can be done in Flash, or if I need to use HTML.
I was having a discussion with my professor last class and he suggested that I should choose to either put my time into the videos that I want to make for the site, or the site itself—I'm going to try to do both though, hope it doesn't bite me in the ass later...
