Primary photo source

Here are some photos i might use for my website.

Tuesday 25 January 2011

The website is being based on Plymouth train station, and I'm trying to make it look as much like an underground station as I can. This I'm doing by carefully selecting the photos I take and use, and the use of appropriate colour schemes.

The webpage itself will have and animated banner across the top, showing a train made from images of Subway sandwiches combined with photographs of trains I took myself. It will also have an animated 'Station Manager', which is something I've already developed. This is another sandwich which has been split down the middle in Photoshop and then animated in Flash s the top half opens and closes like a mouth. This will announce any special offers available. The regular menu and prices will be displayed on a Photoshoped photograph I took of an announcement board at the train station.

The layout of the webpage will consist of an animated banner across the top, with a side bar on the left of the screen with links to other pages, such as the history of the company, nutritional information and special offers.

Experimentation

These pictures below are my experimentation for use in a website for our project. I'm going to recreate the Subway website, I'm basing it on a train station, so I've come up with the idea of representing trains made up from Subway's products. The second picture down came about when I was creating the first image, it was from an image of a meatball sub which I cut to represent the wheels. I ended up by moving it up and down with my mouse, and discovered it looked like it was talking. I may consider using this as an animation, or having speech bubbles coming from it, and using it to announce any special offers.

Typography description

Today we had to describe ourselves using keywords, which we typed into Wordle.net, which arranged them in a random fashion. The more frequently a word is used, the larger it is in the finished piece. I could control the background colour, the fonts, and the manner in which the words were laid out. Then I started a new piece, but this time I had to write it about someone next to me, then we all printed these out, cut them out, and stuck them to a mounting board.
