iPod Touch
Ive recently invested in an iPod Touch. I decided to upgrade from my Product Red Nano that i bought with my first paycheck from work! I needed more space than the 8GB and thought the iPod touch would be the logical option.
I realise the Touch is somewhat old news but thought i would share my thoughts on it nevertheless. I have always admired the design of the iPod and Apple products in general. I have followed Jonathan Ives' work at Apple for a few years now, ever since i did a case study for GCSE Product Design. I like the simplicity of the appearance yet admire how complex the technology is.
I think the interface of the iPod Touch is amazing and love the touch screen. I think the OS is very impressive and i have had no problems with crashing, freezing etc. I was however disappointed with the extent to which the interface can be customised themes, icons, colours etc. The fact that you could only download Apple approved apps was also a negative, because of this i decided to jailbreak my iPod, this gave me a lot more freedom to customise the iPod to how i want it.
WiFi is a fantastic feature and has become extremely useful for quickly checking things out on the web. The web based apps Facebook, MSN, Google Maps, Email etc are very convenient to have to hand.
Better way to spend 200 quid?

Identities Showcase
This is the showcase for my Identities Project. This will be where all my different elements are situated, this scene will act as a kind of homepage for the project where the user can navigate to each different element.

Its Been A While
Not been on here for far too long now!
Didn't really come on here during the last few weeks of the Uni year because was getting on with my Identities module and had lots to do towards the end. I was pleased with my final Identities project but never got around to publishing any of my work on here so i might as well do it now!
