The imagery on the site was not especially consistent, but they did have one attractive line drawing of a document. I took this as my inspiration for this set of glyphs to represent the various services offered (telephone, mobile, pager, switchboard & helpdesk).]]> 28 Feb 2007 09:30:00 GMT Digital Media http://www.adamdorman.com/news-detail.php?article=58 ]]> Our Tonkonese cat; Tonk (imaginative eh!) recently gave birth to five healthy kittens.

This is not just a facelift, but a complete overhaul of the way my content is delivered. Finally I have implemented a MySQL database to serve my portfolio.

It looked fairly simple. How difficult could it be? This is one of the most challenging flash clocks that I have ever built! I have started this clock from scratch four times. I kept running into problems. The clock would flip correctly then a second later pop back to one minute ago. Midnight was showing as 24:60 at one point. On my fourth attempt I finally got the mechanism to work without any glitches. After all that effort, I'm stunned that the final clock weighs in at under 6kB. As far as I can tell from my searches, this clock is fairly unique on the Internet. There is a similar Dashboard Widget for Apple's OS X. But mine works on all platforms that run Flash, and theirs is 300kB!]]> 01 Sep 2005 09:30:00 GMT Free Flash Clocks http://www.adamdorman.com/news-detail.php?article=39 ]]> These two new clocks were a originally conceived for a client who decided to go in a different direction design-wise.

But I had a little time not too long ago and did an interpretation of one of my favourite comic illustrations. This Piece was inspired by one of Dave McKean's illustrations for the Arkham Asylum, Batman comic. I looked at the original once, before I started work, and then again when I had finished. I think my image keeps the drama of the original painting, but brings it closer to a real-world representation. The pillars were modelled in Wings3D and rendered in Bryce. The final image is a composite of abut ten different Bryce renders, and a heck of a lot of Photoshop fiddling. I have also uploaded this photo, which was a birthday joke for my mother. Often I send birthday cards late because my memory is awful. This time I sent my mother's card late on purpose, just so I could use this joke. I think I got the coffee glass from Ikea! I will be adding a couple of new clocks soon, and in about two months I will be implementing a brand new site design. Watch this space!]]> 28 Jul 2005 09:30:00 GMT Digital Media http://www.adamdorman.com/news-detail.php?article=37 ]]> The wind ceases and all is quiet. I feel the first raindrops. This is the calm, the storm will surely follow. This image has been on my drive for a few months. I forgot to post it on completion.

Stig doesn't like Guido because he doesn't trust estate agents. Guido just doesn't like Stig. Stig paints shop signs for barter. Neither of them are very good at their jobs. They both dropped in for coffee recently, but didn't stay as it hadn't been that long since their last bath.]]> 17 Dec 2004 09:30:00 GMT Digital Media http://www.adamdorman.com/news-detail.php?article=35 ]]> What a busy month it's turning out to be!

The foreground trees were modeled in Wings3D imported into Bryce and rendered in three different modes (colour, depth and mask). Compositing and special effects were applied in Photoshop to complete the image. Housekeeping.

Two logos (iTEL & SEM) were created for internal projects for Four Square, the drinks division of the Mars group of companies. The logo for SEM was created with a mixture of Bryce 3D and Photoshop.

Rainmeter is a customisable performance meter, which can display the CPU load, memory utilization, disk space, network traffic, time and many more system stats.

The two new clocks I have designed are available as Rainmeter Clocks and Flash clocks. I will continue to keep both projects running alongside each other. I have also addressed the layer problems that IE users were experiencing, and generally cleaned up a lot of code on the site.]]> 29 Jun 2004 09:30:00 GMT Free Flash Clocks http://www.adamdorman.com/news-detail.php?article=27 ]]> I've not had the chance to work on anything for a while. Here is a quick experiment I did a couple of days ago. I thought I'd have a go at medical representation. The image depicts red blood cells rushing through an artery. The image was composed with a mixture of Bryce and Photoshop. The blood cell was modeled in Winds3D. I set up a scene in Bryce with a number of duplicates over a modified terrain. Finally the image was brought into photoshop where I added the distance and motion effects and other final tweaking. I'm fairly pleased with the result. I was aiming for an image with more dynamism than the standard cover-slide images you usually see.]]> 19 Jun 2004 09:30:00 GMT Digital Media http://www.adamdorman.com/news-detail.php?article=26 ]]> This new image depicts a commentary fragment colliding with a young planet. The image was composed with a mixture of Bryce and Photoshop.

Mars was originally intended to be part of a suite of 9 wallpapers representing the planets of the Solar system (There are debates about whether Pluto is a planet or not, but this isn't the place for that). I'm not sure if the wallpaper works or not, so I'm posting it here to gauge reaction. I may continue with this suite in the future. New Image in the Digital Media Section. The last of today's updates is a chocolate bar wrapper. This was made for a friend to give as gifts to wedding guests.]]> 22 Mar 2004 09:30:00 GMT Free Flash Clocks Digital Media Free Wallpaper http://www.adamdorman.com/news-detail.php?article=24 ]]> Brand new page in Digital Media.

I have released two new walls. Walrus features a bath toy I bought from the local supermarket.

I was secretly whisked up to Aviemore in Scotland by my girlfriend - Diana. For a while I'd been telling her that it had been about twenty years since I last built a snowman. So there we were halfway up the Cairngorm Mountains, making a big pile of snow when the idea of making a snow 'jelly baby' occurred to me.]]> 20 Feb 2002 09:30:00 GMT Natural Media http://www.adamdorman.com/news-detail.php?article=4 ]]> Nothing to do with illicit hooch you understand.

Three weeks in Florida feels good (apart from the sunburn). Swam with squids & chased dolphins. Had great omelettes at 'The Waffle House'. Anyway, that's why there have been no changes recently. I have added a new tutorial yesterday (brushed steel). And the others are coming along nicely. I'm pretty new at writing tutorials, and if anyone has any suggestions to make them easier to follow please let me know. I'm probably assuming everyone does things the same way as me (I know that's not true). Netscape's still a pig. Please use IE5.0+. Anyway just keeping you up to date. ]]> 13 Dec 2001 09:30:00 GMT General News http://www.adamdorman.com/news-detail.php?article=2 ]]> Three tutorials uploaded (yay!): Eyeball, Wood & Stone. More on the way. I'm still having problems with Netscape. The problem is in the differing Document Object Models (DOM) between the browsers. They both speak JavaScript, just not the same dialect. I may consider a separate site for Netscape with less functionality. MSIE just allows me to make prettier pages. I've just downloaded the NS6 patch for Dreamweaver but it doesn't really help much, Netscape is a pig. If anyone any has ideas about the NS problem have a look at my code & help if you can. Thanks.]]> 06 Nov 2001 09:30:00 GMT General News http://www.adamdorman.com/news-detail.php?article=1 ]]> This is an early beta release. Not all the features are implemented at present. The tutorials section is at at the moment empty. I'm hoping in the New Year to change my host to a PHP service. It's something I'm having to learn at work and think it might come in useful here. What I do have is a portfolio. Digital, Natural & Photographic media are all represented. I'm particularly proud of my custom JavaScript functions to show the previews. Hopefully they will seem nothing out of the ordinary and perfectly useable. If so I've succeeded. A note about Netscape: At present I'm having difficulty getting my javascript to work in Netscape. I am working to resolve these problems, but at present it is not my top priority. Please be patient in the meantime. A note about 800x600 browsers: I have tried to make this site work in the most common browser sizes. However in some of the portfolio sections you may not see a full description. The solution is to browse in full-screen mode. Well that's about it for now. If you have any comments, suggestions or complaints please don't hesitate to email me.]]> 30 Oct 2001 09:30:00 GMT General News
