Group Client Project - Javascript for controlling font size

As we realised that many software companies may have smaller computer monitors, I got the job to look up a Javascript which could control the font size in a page.
So here's the Javascript for changing the font size in the webpage.

I've tried it in one of the page we've got and it worked.


I've also created two icons for the changing buttons. (transparent background with white image so it doesn't show:p)

Group Client Project - more fonts

As the font we decided to use turned out was a bit "fade" to see, we are looking for a font that looks similar to Caviar Dreams but also clear in a small size. So here's some I looked at.

1) Droid Sans - looks clear in 12 and 14px but it's not all that Caviar Dreams

2) Arimo - looks less clear in 12px but quite good in 14px

3) Quattrocento Sans - 12px doesn't look as good as in 14px but better than the second one

4)
Raleway - most similar to Caivar Dream but not very clear even in 14px

5) Nobile - look good both in 12 and 14px

6) Ubuntu - clear in 12 and 14px too but itsn't very Caviar Dreams

I personally prefer the 5th one-Nobile, I think it looks modern and professional, yet very clear in a small size. I am going to discuss with my groupmate and see what they think.

Music Video - Love Song by BIGBANG

I can't believe I haven't posted it here. It's a music video from the famous Korean pop group BIGBANG.



One shot! Really like the angles and the zoom in and outs.
I love it's in black and white too, it adds a sorrow feeling to the video.
and...how could you stand under that smoke and dance!? I also would like to know how many times they've rehearsed before the actual shooting to get that one shot done! You know...there's a car explosion at the end where you need to get it right for only one time!

Apparently the production costs $200,000 USD and they have been filming it for 4 days using "Skycam (overhead cameras on wires)" and "4 point wire cam" (not sure if those are official names:p)

Just in case, this is the Making of the video here for you.

Cars 2 trailer recreated with LEGO

It's a frame-by-frame recreation of the original Cars 2 trailer with LEGO bricks.

Isn't this cool. I especially like the explosion part! :)

Group Client Project - updates

This is the homepage of the website so far.

The navigation and gallery jQuery are working, the pages are linked together.
As each member of our group have done different pages separetely, we are now working on putting the pages together with the same CSS style but the basic structure is done. We still have quite a lot to tidy up and a few jQuery codes needed to be add in but I think we've worked quite well so far as a group.

Group Client Project - Accordion

As there are so much information in the website we need to include, we need some jQuery accordion to hide some of the content in a page so the content and the page will be neater and clearer.

This is the accordion we are going to use- jQuery Common Accordion - Horizontal and Vertical
