Just saying

Now i have left course and this is no longer being used for a 'assessment' i will be adding stuff that isnt just art related, i'll be writing more posts about me, adding images, videos about other things i like.

Project 2 - Goal Setting

Design goals

• Stick to a set colour scheme, no random colours that dont fit
• Plan out website well early on with many different design possibilities

Other

• Maintain good time management (dont leave stuff to last minute)

New design for title

Before design

 

 

 After design

I prefer this design as there is more colour and looks alot more appealing to me

SEO technique

One of the techniques i found was 'image descriptions.'
As 'spiders' search text really well it is important to put a sufficient amount of text and a detailed description of what the image is so it is easier to find when searched for.

This technique will be very beneficial for my blog as i post alot of images and photos, as one of my main interests and main purpose for this blog is photography.

Changing background

My original background was just a plain dark grey colour

My first background change was just a pink image, this was the outcome

I decided i didn't really like the brightness of the pink, i think a darker colour might look better

I changed back to a default Blogspot background for now but i intend to change it into my own image eventually.

      

                   

Customizing blog title/header background

Original title using default font

 

Custom header design #1

Will be making changes to improve it

Lego safari

The 2nd assessment in Animation class was to recreate a lego scene into a animation. this was the first time i had done this and the quality isnt very good and there is some camera shake

HDR

Some HDR images i done in 2011, a few were used for my Photography class exhibition

Rotoscope

This was a project for my Animation class. A rotoscope animation that represents some aspects of my life. In this case it is my dog Jasper and one of my tattoos which is a hummingbird

First Post :)

Creating a blog was very simple and having a unique name came in handy as it meant i had no trouble finding a URL that was available :)

I will be using this blog to showcase my previous work in Photography, Design and Animation but also more recent and current work. Not only will i post my own work but also that of others that inspire me and just everything and anything that i find interesting.
