Making badges

Using photoshop I sucessfully created a badge and an image wich I have used fo my twitter mage diplay image.

Typography

The fonts used on my website are,

Bank Gothic

Arial

I also used a hand written font for my banner

and for the banner on my blog.

Bank Gothic and Arial are two very structured fonts and contrast well to the scratched handwritten font that I created myself. The fonts i have chosen to use fit well to the spooky effect that my event is based around.

Adding Gadgets

As you can see, I have added Gadgets with links down the right hand side of my blog...

The top group are other students events and have links to either their blog, or their event website.

Underneath my personal profile I have created a link to Facebook (and am going to also add a link to another social networking site). The link direct you straight to an events page on Facebook advertising the event I am hosting.

My website

Style of website-GRUNGE

As my event has a spooky feel to it, I feel that the grunge style will be most appropriate.


This is a background template that I have adapted that i plan to use when developing my website.

Here I have applied the background and began working on the design on my wedbsite using Adobe dreamweaver. I am going to download a grunge font to use on the main heading and then I need to choose a well suited secondary and tertiary font for the rest of the information. I may use the same primary and seconday font for things like headings and links to new pages.

Flash workshop

Week One

Using auto script we dictated movement, scale, rotation and the anchoring of very simple objects and text to create an organised design

Week two we used autoscript to create buttons giving the buttons mouse actions.

Mouse over- changed the word up to over

Mouse down- cue for motion to start

Mouse up- stopped any motion

Week 3- again using action script created a short introduction animation with 3 buttons, one to play animation again, one a menu button and the other a link to a new page. on the second page, made a back button.... idea on how a website would work.

Dreamweaver

Using Dreamweaver was much easier than I first thought, the template was already in place for us yet in comparison to Weebly there were much fewer restrictions.

On photoshop I created a grunge looking background to place into Dreamweaver. Using a template we added some pre existing text to create an example website for some kind of event.

The background is in the form of grunge style, using old, worn vintage looking objects- could be ideal of my project... my event has a spooky feel about it in which grungge style would be appropriate.

Using FLASH... Week 1

This was my first time using flash so the programme was completely new to me!

BUT!

I managed to create this banner, using an image from the internet and some text...


This technique could be useful in making banner advertisements for my events to promote on other websites... eg Facebook, Twitter or any other social network/ urban event websites.


I also created this individual webpage background using Flash.
