Researching

I am still researching quite a bit on headphones. I really want them to be perfect so I am looking around on the internet looking for inspiration. I was thinking of designing Environmental friendly headphones, by maybe making them in wood. Wood would be cool because it isn't like the booring plastic ones.

Analysis

Rhinoceros 4 Wenatchee

Yesterday i found a 3D design program, it will really help me in creating headphones, and as I mentioned earlier i can print a prototype with a machine that my dad's friend has. I've allready started to do some tutorials, the tutorial is 500 pages, i've done about 80 pages so far, which is quite good.

Headphone software

My dad's friend is in the headphone business, the company he works with has a headphone design software, which can be really helpful if I am going to make headphones. The good thing about the software is that you are able to make an exact sample of your design, this may cost, but it is definately worth it!

My ideas full.

Music video

One of my project ideas for ICT is to produce and maybe compose my own music video, i will take some clips from the internet and some i will produce by my self. This will challenge me because i havent really worked with a camera before so if im filming it will be a real challenge, also if i compose a music video i will have to come up with some music myself which will be quite a challenge. I’ve got many ideas which could be made in to songs, and the filming sets could be staged anywhere in hong kong.

Game

Another thing which i would really enjoy is to create a simple and fun 2D game, imagine super mario but with more action (guns, knifes etc) i have found a game engine, that costs about 50$ Hong kong dollars. which seems to be really good, the best thing is that you can produce this game later on and make a profit. This game engine is pretty simple, It has allready got a genre kit, the genre kit is a theme of Greenland so that includes landscape pictures sprites etc, however i dont want too do a game about Greenland so i will probably have to make my own sprites, or i could try to look up some other ones that i could use. I have also installed Adobe Photoshop to make my own Buttons, Icons, and the front cover of the game. I also have to make a game tutorial, instruction book and a help book. I am currently looking at other game guides, tutorials to get an understanding of what i am going to have to do. They all explain the basics of the game, and then they go in to more depth. Some guides are very complicated some are very simple, i havent found a single one that is balanced, so im planning mine to be both simple and advanced. The actual game will be Difficult, but not too difficult. I assume i must also create a rating for this game, if so i will try to contact a big rating company to rate it for me, since the actual game makers cant rate their own games.

Headphones

I’ve also been thinking about making a pair of headphones, my dad´s friend currently works with making headphones and designing them, so he will help me with the manufacturing process. I will make quite original ones, not too fancy. I’ve been looking at the internet for inspiriation and i’ve found many nice designs and shapes that i might consider adding to my headphones. These Headphones will be kind of original with an all black concept. I will try to make the headphones out of the best quality materials and the make them to provide the best sound quality. As i said before i have installed Adobe photoshop so i will most likely draw these headphones in Photoshop.

My first Entry

I have now gotten my self together to finally write a blog entry, i lost my 3 choices at first but today i finally found them on my hard drive.

Music video:

One of my project ideas is to produce and compose my own music video i am most likely to create my own song, since i do play guitar. The music video will be filmed in several places in Hong Kong.

Game:

I have found a 2D engine that runs well on mac, it is quite a simple and fun game engine no hard programming etc. It only costs 50$ US dollars so its not too expensive, and if i buy the engine i can make games that i will get credit and money for. It comes with a genre kit, which i will change since i don't want my game to consist of Snowmen. (the genre kit you get with the game engine is Greenland) So i will most likely make my own one, i have also bought Adobe Photoshop to create buttons, icons and other artwork. I will also make my own tutorial and help guide.

Headphones:

My dad's friend is in the headphone business, so he will help me understanding the manufacturing process and also the designing one, i want to make my headphones quite original but not too original, I've been on the internet looking on headphones for a while now and I have found many interesting ones that is very inspirational.
