by 1977 punk rock was begining to have and effect onlondon life. this had a grate impact upon brody's work and motivation but was not well received by his tutor.

buttons

we had a canvas with 4 different colours at different frames. then we went to window, common libraries, and then buttons, oval buttons and then i placed 4 on the left hand side of the canvas then we put text on each different background saying different things e.g about, links.
after that we got up the action window
then went to global functions, time control and then go to and play, once we had done this for each button we were able to use them to take us to the frames we wanted them to   

first off we were shown how to create a frame by frame animation in photoshop and we had to create one for a clothing line called 'Lift off clothing'

once we had done that we were then asked to create one for our own website or logo so i created this animation.

i liked the idea of having the girl blink at you so i had made her blink to make it stand out a bit more. i also tried to make the text look like it was being written on

website layouts

i have looked at a couple different website designs to collect ideas for my future website. i went on 99designs and it shows a range of other peoples website designs.

 i found this design and i like the way it has the picture in the middle of the screen and has a dark outline.
it makes the picture stand out. as when you look at the screen the first thing you look at is the image of the girl,
the downside to this design is that it detracts from writing that might be important. and also the use of these dark colours makes it hard to read the writing

i also found this design. i like how all the pictures are in an order and the page looks clean and not messy or cluttered. everything is clear and bright. the thing i don't like is the way it's a bit plain and there's not much colour
 

i phone web page

we had to design or own web page for an iPhone. my iPhone web page is similar to my normal web page. it has the same colour theme. the only thing that is different to the normal one is i still has the original logo which i needed to change and it also doesn't have the Plymouth cosplay mascot on it.

i created a mascot because at first on my normal web page it was empty. so i made a mascot to fill that empty space and also to make a recognisable image 

slicing in photoshop

we were told howto make sertain parts into links to other pages for websites, the way we did this was we opened photoshop with the website page.

once we had done that we chose the slice tool wich was with the crop tool. we selected a part thatwe wanted to make a link. for examplethe text on this would be a link so i selected them

hen i used the slice selection tool nd double cliked on one of the sliced i just made. this cme up with a window that i could then enter in a web addres to make a link.

aft6er that i saved it with 'save for web & devices'

and i was then able to open it like a website

my original design for the Plymouth cosplay logo w going to be 'p' and a 'c' in front of a light house to symbolise that it was Plymouth. but i was told that i needed a more interesting shape so i looked at some pictures that i had draw a long time ago and found interesting shapes then i used illustrator and went around the outside of the shape that i found interesting

after i had finally got an interesting logo i had to decide on the text i was going to use

this text was to hard to read so i chose a different one

this text to away the attention of the log so i chose a different one

this text was to hard to read once it had Bean made really small so i chose a diferent one 

this one was also to hard to read one it had bean shrunken so i looked at allot of other texts and finally chose this font

this text was easy to read even after it was shrunk and it also didn't take any of the attention off of the logo

after changing what my website is about i have created a new logo that has some aspects of  Yana Toboso's books

For the design of my logo I had tried to incorporate the only two of Yana Toboso’s mangas into this logo because it would then represent her. i added the circle with the star because it is the most recognisable thing from her manga Kuroshitsuji.

And I added the wings on either side as looking at her other manga Rust Blaster it had these wings on the name’s logo. The reason why I only put her name down instead of a website name is because this website is about her and if I had used something else then it could have confused people if they were looking for a website about Yana Toboso and at first glance they would not have known what this website is about if they had just seen the logo.
