This week I have been adding static content to my application and this has been quite boring but it is a necessary evil I have most of the static content in application now and I am starting to look at the more complicated dynamic parts, I have found some software called Kuneri lite

This Software acts as a bridge between flash lite and symbian devices it uses C+ code to help access useful feature on the phone. At the moment I am struggling to make sense of it but I will keep looking till I get somewhere with it.

I am an interactive mutimedia designer

I am an interactive multimedia designer, I have just finished my 3rd semester and it has gone incredibly well. I now feel that I can officially call myself an interactive multimedia designer and I am going to start looking for some part time freelance work. I have a web design qualification and I have designed a number of websites. During my university studies I have designed and worked on a number of projects including a webcam controlled game, 3 flash computer games, an interactive sound installation, a children’s interactive magazine website and a touch screen tourist information application to name a few. I have worked on a varied range of projects so far and I am not going to stop there next semester I am setting myself the challenge of designing a mobile phone application and if I get the opportunity to do anything new and challenging I will grasp it and hopefully succeed and improve.

I have had a pretty good week on both DJ & Design fronts on Wednesday I attended Hull's first digital conference Hull Digital Live. This was my first conference and on the whole it was very interesting. The line up of speakers included

Rory Cellan-Jones, Charles Arthur, Anand Verma, Jaan Orvet, Kai Gait, Mark Rock, Mike Butcher, Rob Palmer, Stuart McFarlane.

I particularly enjoyed the talk by Jaan Orvet as it gave a different view on the industry and it made me realise that you do not have to work for a big company to land big projects.

On the DJ side of things this week I worked at The Sugarmill in hull on Thursday this was one of only two nightclubs in my home town that I had never had the opportunity to play at. I thoroughly enjoyed my night there and I hope to be back there soon.

I wonder what next week will bring?

Hi my name is Phillip Shakesby, I am 30 year's old and I am writing this blog to log my journey entering the interactive media industry.

I am what may be described by some as a creative person, I have expressed my creativity working as a DJ since the age of fourteen and I have been interested in digital design since the age of sixteen.

In this blog I will discuss my past and current influences and I will highlight the highs and lows of my creative life.

More to come soon!
