Escape from Love

That is the name for the song I've made lately. Actually, I just wanted to create something funky and noisy in Garage Band, then the song was born suddenly when I combined and overlapped several audio clips. The name "Escape from Love"was inspired from the song "L.O.V.E" of Ashlee Simpson, as the rhythm of both songs are totally funky and strong, which may make audiences feel like swinging their body and dancing.

I did not finish it yet, since I'm still thinking about its ending part. However, this short song sounds kind of nice, so I post it here to get your comments.

Spore website


Spore is a website of Will Wright, the creator of The Sims. It was created to promote an online game, in which there are several phases through the development of civilization and technology. There are also a series of characters, based on each period of phase. I think the idea is based on the development of human being, as you can see, each phase is designed according to a specific point of time in human history.

First, what makes me impressed is an outstanding and funky piece of intro animation flash at the very beginning. The intro is short, but totally gives the audiences some ideas about the style and the characters throughout the game, as well as the missions for each phase. Secondly, we all can see there are blocks of text, therefore it must apply CSS style in Flash into their website. So instead of using Flash to contain the text, CSS style in Flash will help the later work and change much more easily. The site architecture is very plain. There are only 3 pages for the whole website, not including the external links. However, its purpose is to give the users some information about the game as well as the screenshots and stuff. So that's enough for it.
