Yet again, I am amazed at my ability to learn. My patience was tested, a lot of time was dedicated and finally I am relieved I can say, "It is complete."Sure, there are changes (actually - improvements) I would like to make but I'm satisfied with the result.
The Hunt for Cino-The-Cav is about a serial killer motivated by social media fame and the authorities are working strategically to capture him. The central character stars my beautiful little boy Cino who was happy to comply with the entire filming process. I chose to position Cino as the central character as one of the directives was to include three videos, as well as still images we owned. The videos of Cino were shot using my HTC mobile phone and placed on Youtube to be linked to the individual Google Map articles. The photos were also shot with my phone and placed on the Digital Writing server to be linked to the relevant stories as well.
The next step was creating customised icons for the page. After many, many, many (did I mention many?) hours playing with various concepts in Photoshop, I chose to stick to the simple star icons and add body outlines for a little spice.
The next stage was reformatting the font and repositioning the images to add variety. I first repositioned the images and then found that when I reformatted the font... the images disappeared. I wasn't a happy camper but it appears that all is repaired now and hopefully when you follow the link, those videos will still be there.
I hope you enjoy the short story. I enjoyed creating it and hope to experiment with more Google Maps in the future so watch this spot!
