Final Project: recap- Henning

Man. That was intense. I think my final project turned out well. However, there are a number of things that I think could have gone better.

First off, to the things I'm happy about. I really like the overall feel of the website. The sounds, the images, the pop up boxes-- I think they all worked well together. I'm especially happy about how well the sound beds worked into the project. I did a bunch of research into different kinds of audio players, but I eventually decided to go with the simplest. I'll try to put up a short post about the different types later. The biggest downside of the one that I put up is that it's set to continually autoloop, which could get really annoying. Thankfully, each audio file is pretty long, with the longest at around 5 minutes, so they probably won't repeat unless you leave the site up to go get coffee or something. At which point, it doesn't really matter too much.

I wish I'd posted the images in higher quality. I come from a film/video background, so I always worry a lot about size when posting something on the internet. At some point, I'll post up a short discussion about the filehosting sites I used. Anyway, I compressed the spit out of the images, and it kind of shows. That said, they're super small and load really fast. However, I think I didn't need to lower their quality quite that much.

Overall, I think that my final is a well working capstone for the semester. I'm happy.
