We have indeed been quite lazy updating our blog. Maybe we are just bad bloggers or then maybe we have been just concentrating more on the actual progress of the project. Nevertheless many things have been happening! We have taken in use the Diem system, which allows us all to work on the project remotely and collaboratively together, so this will fasten our project development significantly. I have now also took more of the part of the front-end implementing and Vanuhi can now concentrate more on the player design. I have also been desingin the logo several times and came up with several versions of it. Also noticed that logo design is not easy! it is not just making the picture, because that is quite easy, but coming up with a solid and simple idea that will hold till the end , that is hard. Also I have been studying some Photoshop tutorials with the idea of creating more visual outlook. I have been designing several banners and because the layout kept changing quite frequently not all of them are usable. Also we have been doing some interface design of the player, which is a hard part to do in a way that it would truly stand out from the existing services and be new and exciting...this was a very good question from our pitching audience. "how are you making it better than the existing services?" ... that indeed is a question to answer!

Our project can now be found from: musiccloud.demola.fi
note also, that not all browsers are yet supported but in development mode the pages work fine. We will do also something for this in the future!
Three different versions of a "vinyl cloud" banner idea:
New ideas for register and log-in buttons:
Older desing drafts:
The cloud player idea:
The new logo (which I can aprove myself also, at least for now) :
This week on Wednesday we are having our second review meeting, which I am looking forward to! Also I will try to be a better blogger in the near future, because now I think something important might be missing from this post as well. And of course there is always more deign ideas existing on this laptop, but some of them are just some random psd. files and such, so I don´t consider downloading them too important at the moment. But these that I download should be the most important as for now!
Also Demola is about pitching and pitching and more pitching... I could maybe get good in this, but still require more training... There would actually be an interesting event today (Monday 23.4) about Demola success stories and their pitching, but unfortunately I had already arranged other things for this time considering another project so unfortunately have to skip it for today.
May more things follow, now I will continue working!
