Looking outside the box...

Here are a few ideas I've had for my showcase/box idea.

I love my original box idea, but that was just to play around with flash and see how it worked and how easy it was to create things. Now that I'm a bit more confident with it, I have generated some ideas that I think I could pull off fairly well.

My box - With button!

Look at my sexy box! lol! I've managed to create the box, with a working button! To say I had never used flash before I started at NTU, I think I'm doing incredibly well!

My Box - Flash Creation

Flash Box by ~sammarshall20 on deviantART

Here is the beginning of my flash box. My next step is to learn how to create a button so the box opens, only when you click the handle (which i also need to create!)

But this is just so show the simple idea I have so far.

As you can see, I took the same sort of design of the box I found on google in the post below, but I've built this box entirely myself in Photoshop and implemented it into flash. I prefer to frontal view and I think it will help me a lot when it comes to putting virtual objects inside it.

My box and Moodboard

I'm very excited to reveal my initial ideas for my box!

The photo above shows the box closed, partialy open, and then fully open. I've created this on photoshop using various shading effects and an image of the box on Google.

The box is actually perfect, it has the use of brown colours, straight lines and a modern design, which is exactly the style of design I aspire too.

The images next to it are just a sample of things I like and hopefully i'll be implementing these images into the box in one way or another.

I also know what elements I'm going to have and the story they will tell.

At the moment I have:

3D Avatar - Myself as I am now.

Audio/Visual - A 30 minute extract of a radio show I did when I was involved with DJing online.

Logo - This is be replacing the logo already on the box, to create my own personal identity on the outside of the box.

MY CHOICE (Audio/visual) - A music video I shot when I used to make and sell music a few years ago.

MY CHOICE (Unknown) - Possibly an advertisement of myself, still not sure about this yet.
