How Long Can You Hold It? My time was somewhere around: 45 minutes and 17 seconds!

Planning how to Capture for Website

To create my website I will be using many different forms of capture to give the best effects to my work. As I have to use a range of methods to create a diverse and graphically superior website than others in the market, I have had think carefully about which methods I used because just using any methods to bulk out my site could make it look unprofessional or very messy in presentation.

Fonts

I have been researching which font really works for my site and logo and have tried many different fonts such as

Tablet Drawings

I have used a graphics tablet to draw and re work my logo and make an image to brand myself with therefore making my website more professional. Tablet drawing really works to create my logo because it gave it textures that I wouldn’t have expected to be able to.

Vector Drawings

I have been using Vector images because while using the Graphic Tablet I was drawing on illustrator which is a vector drawing program. I chose to draw using vector because it created my work with a different texture to Photoshop and other programs I tried.

Scanning

I play to find a texture that I really like and scan it in so that I can set it into Photoshop if I have to and changes its colour. Then create a very nice feeling texture to the back ground of my website.

Internet

I will gathering Stock to show on my Website from other Websites that sell my style of clothing have a range of websites already researched help me with this so I can focus on the other forms first.

wordle Creating

Marz showed us a Website called Wordle which is a site that you type words into of give a blog address and it creates a typography image using the words you give it.
This first one is of Me as a starter task and then i was told to do one of some one else in the class and so without telling anyone who i was doing i decided to do adam.

Putting a simple animation on a logo

i was tyring to put a animation into my logo i simply set up a animation from my logo to switch between to states. this was by using frame by frame animation in photoshop this lesson was more a demo of doin frame by frame animation in photoshop however if i wanted to make this animation better i could very easily put the elements into Flash and work at animation in that program because its made more towards animating things anyway.

my pheonix would go from this state and then as the mouse hovers over it i would like it to change into.

Neville Brody

Brody is a very famous typographer, design and brand strategist his work can be very simple in design. He is very flexible in his use of colour as in some of his work he uses just black and white and in other it is full of colour showing he is confident in using many mediums and ways of working to create stunning design work. His work draws your eye in to make you wonder why he did things in each design the way he did this is one thing that I envy as a designer my self.  I like all the style’s that brody has show on his website such as the designs using only pictures and even his typography ones usually typography doesn’t impress me that much because I feel that as long as you know the language your writing in you can create good typography. Typography is just knowing how to use text in ways to portray more than just the word its self and I feel that brody’s work does this aspect of typography a great justice and his work will inspire many people of the future to work with typography if not as there main source but as a experimental exercise.

 just two examples of brody's work

Layout ideas

after i researched websites thats inspire me and that i wanted to take elements from to create of work my own but to a similar style. i have a few ideas but the one i would really like to try out would be to have my logo almost as a emblem in the center of my website home page with all the hyperlinks to diferent pages in a tribal patterned circle around the logo to create a more orignal layout to the type of website that i am making mine. i feel this would be a good idea because its different and not generic to the way websites are being designed lately. i feel that my website will have to use mostly Black Reds and greys due to the style of inventory to the site. although this is a limited choie of colours i know i can make many different variations of borders.
