Assessment Activity : Populating a web page wireframe

I decided to use photos my dad has taken of his friends and his slot cars. I think it came up okay, it was put together in a bit of a rush but I'm happy with it.

LA 9: Making Backgrounds

I love how this site has done everything right, the image looks great and it flows into the page background nicely.
Also the colour scheme is easy and relaxing. The only nit pick I would have is that you can see the top right of the 'box' that holds the information, which still looks fine anyway.

This one didn't really seem to work well for me, the colours for the gradient where being difficult. I think the fact the background is different shades of grey didnt help.

Method 4 a bit ugly but it works.

Method 5

LA 3: Story With A Flatbed Scanner

LA 11: Shooting Motion

My camera didn't have all the functions I needed so a little bit of editing was done in photoshop.

LA 12: Good And Bad Type

Bad Examples

Mossimo's logo is hard to read, at first the m looks more like a w, the other letters are just as bad.

This cheese sign seems appropriate, but the type can be a little confusing.

This type is hard to understand and because of that seems meaningless.

The word jazz has poor type use and doesn't even match the rest of the sign.

Most of the type on this sign isn't to bad, the letters that do stand out they do for all the wrong reasons.

Good Examples

The type is easy to read and feels fun, perfect for a balloon and party shop.

The x adds excitement to this logo.

The big w uses plain and simple text but it looks nice doing so.

Sport first uses good type and a good logo design.

Spotlight is clear and easy to read, plus the o is a spot!



Digitial Imaging Assessment: Hero Shots

Digital Imaging LA8 Web Image Formats

Second Attempt (jpg)

On my second version I moved most of the images around, giving it a better grid flow. I also enlarged the dirt photo and added a gradient behind the text to grab attention.

First Attempt (jpg)

With all three files they all produced quite a good image quality. The only significant difference was the sizes, with the png being over 2mb, the gif just over 1mb and the jpg (shown above) is only 250kb.
