flash intro

i decided just now to make my flash intro be a bunch of lines like the ones on the left come flying across the screen. with one big one that has Modeina Furniture or whatever fly across the screen. Infact i might just make the font of Modenia be white and everytime a line flys across the screen and touches it you will be able to read it becuase it will be on top of everything else.

sweet.

my design so far

i wanted my design to be very "soft and light." compared to my sumo harsh red and blacks. So i came up with the different shades of light blue and darkish green with a white background. I kinda made the lines cross behind each other to make it look like a basket weaving type look. Giving the viewer kind of a homey type feel... of course it won't say crap...its just a prototype

my experiance

i totaly for got to put up my experience there. Fortunately i have been there like 200 times in the past year so i have plenty of experiences to draw from.

When I entered Sumo i was promply greeted by the host and shown to my seat. after i was seated our waitress (named June) came up and gave us hot towels in which to wash our hands. As we did that she took our drink orders and by the time we were done with the towels she had our drink orders and took the towels back. As we sat we contemplated our sushi future. When she came back with our drinks we already knew what we liked so we were ready to order. I ordered the spicy cowboy(my favorite....ever.) Then as we talked we were brought Miso sooup which comes along with the meal with the optional clear soup instead. The spicy cowboy was brought out in about 10 minutes and was so delicious. Shrimp tempura with avacado with crabmeat on top and 2 spicy sauces on it. I devoured it quickly and i also got a side of fried rice because their rice is like the absolute best. Over all it was about 10 dollars or something. it was awesome. cheap. close. and delicious. what more can you ask for?

video fail

it was always my intention to have a video on how to use chopsticks. I had alot of trouble with the video on flash and even now it doesnt work right. the audio plays in normal speed but the video plays in half speed. fail

failed idea

i was going to have the chopsticks animate and grab the symbol on the left and take it off screen and have a crunch noise and come back on half eaten. but i had trouble with it and didnt want to bother with it.

i was gonna go with the symbols down the side but choose to stick with the minimalist-ness of the japanese and just do the one big symbol to the left. Also the tree wasnt really working for me and i couldnt get the white out. so i lost it as well. 

this is my original idea
