CI - PERSONAL PROJECT - ENTRY 1

1) What is it that you propose to create?

I will create webpage offering translation services of Ing. Dada Warenichova, domainname: dadareadymade.com. As “dada” is name of the licensed translator, I have initiated to use it in the domain name too. I want to do it in little bit Dada style. To have more innovative approach in creating the web page compare to standard layout.

2) What form will it take?

It will be a HTML5 web page, as I’d like to learn it, also the will be some use of PHP, JQuery.js etc. I want to do it in little artistic layout, as translator works a lot with books, font, writing and these thoughts I immediately see as parts of books, bits of hand written text from the first time in background. I will prepare illustration, plus other elements for the web page in illustrator, photoshop.

3) What is the scope of the project?

I want to create onepage web, which will be in 3 languages: Slovak, English and Italian, as these languages translations will be the translator offering.

4) What is your conceptual basis behind creating the piece?

I want to learn using HTML5, and study bit more about using SEO or PHP and JQuery.js. Also it is a good chance to create easy navigating, but still creative web page, which I could you as reference of my work. This is open project, so I can choose freely the look of the web. Not to forget mentioning that I like the theme of letters and languages. For many years I enjoy looking at sings, shops names and other things with various use of letters and font. Web page for translation service should be about it too. When I imagine translator at work, I see something between writing transcriptor Mickey sitting with his frozen hands on a high chair in animated Mickey Christmas Carol and the underline idea of Jim Jarmuschs’ film Lost in Translation.
