This week has been extremely busy. I have obtained feedback from the designs of the previous two Web sites I handed off and although they are demonstrating the features well, the client (who apparently is a design orientated expert… Hmm…) said he’s looking for some more vibrant/jazzy designs. So I continued to work and rework […]

Well after a long break (off for being ill too – booo!), it took a bit of time to get back into the routine of work. Nevertheless, things really picked up at the start of the year – and not being there at the beginning of week one in January didn’t help at all. I […]

Well after last week’s course, everyone felt it was time to relax. Expression was the only project on for the team. I’ve forgotten to mention that the team has been reduced by a few people, given that they have been offered new job roles at different companies. Head counting – there are now nine of […]

Only one project running this week and for the rest of this year – Expression. We were finally briefed about the requirements for this project. It’s going to be a long ride I think! The details supplied to us about this project were to create tutorial step-lists that show off a range of new features […]

By the beginning of December, work at Content Master was becoming really quiet. However, we did have a new project rolling in – namely Microsoft Expression 2.0 Silverlight Marketing. This project was to be an exciting one. We were targeting a whole suite of new software, where the earlier version has already been released, however […]

Just got back from a 5-day holiday off work! And I had a good time thanks (if you were asking?!). Ahh yet another factor that I’ve encountered about the world of work. Coming back to work after just getting used to it, even if it’s just a week off, you sure do wonder what the […]

Just a quick update really. Again it’s one of those weeks where nothing new has really come in. Work is still plodding along especially on Longhorn Courses. Continued editing on clin5135ae_02_01_03_dem01 and 02_01_05_dem01. Re-recording was required. Moved on to new course SMSGR, sent back to us. Working on XML files correlating with HTML files and […]

This week a new project was brought upon me to work on called, The Sales and Marketing Services Group Readiness (SMSGR). This was apparently a new branch from Microsoft. Its basis is simply to promote marketing material not just from Microsoft, but from various external courses that come into Microsoft in Word document form. The […]

November already and time is flying through these projects. I have not updated in a while, due to the fact that the majority of work going on at the moment has been primarily working with storyboards, animations, demonstrations and simulations – all of which has been covered in previous entries. VistaDell has been a monster […]

I finally got shown how to create simulations in Flash. Phoar a lengthy process it is! The one word that sticks to mind from this week – Keyframes! Every screenshot exported using Adobe Illustrator (Photoshop didn’t have batch export to PNG, but Illustrator did) needed to be imported into Flash. Once imported, each image required […]
