Welcome to my 4th. Year Final Year Project

The changing face of Limerick City will provide a valuable source of information in an interactive way to the users interested in finding out about the development of Limerick City over the past number of years.
This project really motivates me as it combines my architectural experience and photography passion together to create a web site housing both aspects.
I love to take photographs of buildings and will be able to use some of those images in this project to help show off my native city to its best. I will be able to give an architectural feel to the web site by using an architectural style layout on the web page, which I hope will attract architectural inclined individuals.

Christmas Period 2007

Worked on different aspects of my project over the festive period. The Flash content and Dreamweaver were high on my priority, as they required some time for setting up without any interruptions so these were the first two areas I tackled and with some success.


Dreamweaver
Set up some of my pages in Dreamweaver even though the homepage had not been finally approved by my supervisors.



Flash

Commenced work on the flash file - just the beginning of it so that I could see it embedded in a table in Dreamweaver.



Architectural Firms
Made contact once more with Healy & Partners and Murray O’Laoire and was successful in obtaining information from Healy & Partners.
Still awaiting information from Murray O’Laoire.


Content for web pages
Had been collecting information from various media sources such as the web, newspaper articles etc. and started to compile this information into a word document, so that it can easily be taken into Dreamweaver when these pages are set up. The areas I worked with are “Vision”, & “Partners”
Note – this section is still in working progress.


Video Content
I initially said I would like to interview a well know Limerick figure on the revitalization of Limerick – should this idea not come to fruition I intend to shoot some video footage of “Live Limerick” depicting sites showing the new Limerick including the building of Thomond Park.
As I felt out of practice with Adobe Premier I decided to use my own video camera – “Traveler CV 5070” to shoot some video footage over the festive period. I encountered a major problem when importing my file (which was an .asf file) into Adobe Premier. Adobe Premier did not recognize the file.I spent two days sorting out this problem on the Internet and located a converter which allowed me to convert the .asf file to an .avi/.mpg file which works perfectly in Premier


I also spent a little time familiarizing myself with Premier.


Photography
Took some shots in the city over the Christmas break – need to look at same to see if they are useful for my project.
