Javascript art
After looking around for a while I realized that it is very hard to find java script art most of the sites I ended up browsing through were sites that had poeples java art on it which was interesting but not exactly what I was looking for. However I was able to get murmur to work on my home computer and enjoyed listening to the different sound files across the different locations. Sadly I would not enjoy making a site like this. On the other hand I greatly enjoyed the sites where it scrambled up the code and made art out of what it could. Learning the capability to do this would be very exciting an interesting to me. Finally buttons intrege me and draw my atttention. Fire alarms warning signs things that shouldnt be touch have that weird sensation that they must be touched. inocorporating this into a site somehow is my goal.

Web Page Ideas
I have many web pages I admire and have come very used to checking from time to time. This list includes
www.nin.com
www.deviantart.com
www.yahoo.com
www.worldofwarcraft.com
www.thottbot.com
the thing I find interesting about each of there sites is thier ability to be completely different yet at the same time easily browsed and viewed.
NIN's site has a more artist look that requires a little but more work to browse through however this site does not require as much site as the story book web page fable.com
deviantart makes browseing art easy and organized by catergory which helps the viewer find what he wants when he needs it. unlike some sites that require hours of browsing to find the image you want.
yahoo supplies the viewer with the ability to ajdust their main page to better fit their needs. These options make daily tasks like checking movie times simple.
however I feel like I am ill educated on the software I am going to be using. These restricts me from making or deciding on what i want my web page to contian and how to format it.

Visual analogies
Visual Analogy is a representation of something that is recognizable by the common public. Symbolism depicted in a form of art that substitutes an image for either a word meaning or another image. Also Visual analogies can be used to create the object that the artist is trying to depict in an abstract way. For example a females long silky hair could be depicted by spaghetti noodles since they have the same long shiny texture even though they are sticky and soft and heavier then hair normally would be.Another example of this is the lips which have been traded out for a lushish strawberry. The idea of lips is still the same but a strawberry is used instead.
The next image is a little complex to understand but that allows the viewer to create his own visual analogy of what he think it might be. All of these images have been collected off of deviantart.com by various artists who keep there identities to themselves by using surnames. However according to this artists comments the brown aura comming out of the body is sopposed to be the humans soul.
This image represents life and making a break in the plans that life may have already written for us. A tree best illustrates the stages and ages of life with rings for each year and with a fence to gap these years at almost feels as if the tree escaped its plans.
The classical sexual representation of boobs using melons. This is practically a play on words.
And my favorite of all the classic don't get to close to the water or you'll drown scenario represented by ants getting to close to honey and becoming stuck stealing their life with the simple act of curiosity or stupidity.
