Ok, second week of the project. I still haven't got a concrete idea of what project I want to do.
I went to the evening lecture to discuss with Fiona and Simon for help on thinking up a suitable project.
I've been thinking about doing something in Flash; a website or game maybe, or something else unique and interactive in Flash.
I've thought about creating a site but it's going to be quite hard to get some clients which I'll be happy to create a site for. I shouldn't be picky with a client for my website, but hey.
I was checking out some sites to help me with my project and came across these Flash brilliant sites that have inspired me. Check out these links!
My other idea was to create a game in Flash; a platform game using ActionScript codes to control the character movements, enemy movements, score keeping and other general stuff.
I also do graphic design on the side, so maybe I could also bring in some unique styles into the game.
Other ideas for a game genre is casual games; games which can be played by anyone - something really unique and exiting to play, perhaps. We'll see.
To build on this idea, maybe I could create Flash game designed for mobile phones? 
I have a tutorial from a Computer Arts magazine (issue 141) which shows you how to make your own animation in Flash and download to your phone, which can then be set up to play everytime your phone rings.

One thing I am interested in doing is creating some kind of content for mobile phones, so i'll definitely be looking at some ways of incorporating this idea into my project.
Lastly, before I go off to something unimportant, I'll note down two good tips I heard at the meeting with Fiona and Simon:
1) Research some companies that you're interested in and look at what they're looking for, in terms of skills and portfolio, and do something that will meet their requirements.
2) Get a real design brief from a client and try making something based on what they want!
Both of the above ideas sound REALLY good. Anyways, that's it from me!
