Dead of the day skulls painted on paper first then scanned in. I like the way this turned out i gave it a rough hand painted look then when scanned in i cleaned it up.





Web formats

HTML, which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists etc as well as for links, quotes, and other items. It allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of "tags" surrounded by angle brackets within the web page content. It can include or can load scripts in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML processors like Web browsers; and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the appearance and layout of text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both HTML and CSS standards, encourages the use of CSS over explicit presentational markup.[1]

Formats for macs :)

I have been looking at some different formats and there uses for macs.



PSD
A PSD file is layered to easily modify the image file. It contains all the image sources for your web design template. To manage files of this type you need Adobe Photoshop software installed on your computer. You can do any kind of customization using Adobe Photoshop because this powerful tool allows you to change text, image colors, or add your own photos to your web design template and save the optimized image data for web.


Ai
Adobe Illustrator Artwork (AI) is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing single-page vector-based drawings in either the EPS or PDF formats. The .ai filename extension is used by Adobe Illustrator.



FLA
fla files contain source material for the Flash application. Flash authoring software can edit FLA files and compile them into .swf files. The Flash source file format is currently a binary file format based on the Microsoft compound file format



.SWF
.swf files are completed, compiled and published files that cannot be edited with Adobe Flash. However, many '.swf decompilers' do exist. Attempting to import .swf files using Flash allows it to retrieve some assets from the .swf, but not all.

This is my 3-D letter
This is one of my ideas for my type poster, its done by taking photos of the alphabet but with nature such as things for outside and around the streets that look like letter i liked the 'V' done with pillers holding a bridge up and the 'A' done with a cafe sign. I used the book title 'Thinking With Type' as it represents the poster perfectfully.

Type Project

I did at first enjoy doing the type project, creating my own font was fun and scanning in was good to try and experiment but soon i realized that i wasn't loving it as much as i first thought. i found it hard trying to decide what book to do and how my type should look.

This is my Paperchase card that i designed in College, two ladies came in to look at our designs and picked 5 that they liked i then got a call from babs telling me that i had won, i was very happy. The design was changed quite alot to the original but i still like it, i created the christmas trees by using screen printing which i did at college in the print room i did a lot of different trees and created a mixture of colours and shapes.
