Logo Change

You know i picked the green one from the 3 logo concepts (DUH!!), just made a small shuttle changes on the logo from the original,

Before



After

New Gallery Page

Had an idea for the alternative gallery thumbnails page, to have small grids of thumbnails just below the title, but when it is mouse over, it will scale up, you will know once i upload the flash version of it, sorry gotta rush, but this is only the layout that i manage to upload for now, cheers

Mock Up

Ready or not the mock up is READY!, all i need to do is adding up changes to this mock up and adding the content for the website, im assuming the final version will slight change from this mock up, this only showing page per page.

In my website, knowing that the whole will take a while to load, especially for the users that is not using high speed connection, this is 2 of my preloaders, it is similar. Click this link to check it out on DeviantArt

Gallery Page

In Multimedia i have explored range of design skills including, HTML design, Vector Artwork, 3D/2D Animation, Flash Game, Flash Interactive, AfterEffects, Video, and Photoshop. In order to show the artwork in the gallery, thumbnails is one of the solution for my flas web, showing small grid (cropped area of the artwork) and enlarge when it is clicked. Here it is the layout for the Gallery Page

The white tiles are only representation of the artwork will be layout later, currently its only prototype showing how it gonna be layed out

Content Background


Just adding a new colour scheme into my design, the previous one was an opaque green bar, in my opinion this dark colour for the content background suits on the design as well, it contrast the content thats lighter colour

Navigation Design

After discussing with my lecturer and researching some of the contemporary navigation designs, i have come up with several options of navigation that can be used in my design. The first navigation that i have put up (the concept one), seems like does not suit with the whole style of the website.

And these are my solutions for the better navigational design, due to small font (in general) of the whole design, smaller navigations are more appropriate for my design. Based on the research small navigations still are obvious and clickable, as long is making contrast from the background.


The Decision

From the last week concepts that i have made, it came down that the 2nd concept is the strongest from the 3 concepts. From now on i will start developing that concept, making it into flash and etc. This design is not final yet, there will be a minor changes and fixes.
For this current version the background for the content and the navigation are nearly satisfactory (in my opinion).

Home Page

This could be the index page of the flash website, since in flash site there is no index page(like html), but similar concept as the html index concept, from the pre-loader page that i have developed before, these are the further development of each concept







These are only mock ups, i will selected 1 out of these 3 to be final concept

Preloading flash

Soon these concepts will be take on to the flash development, these days flash preloading animation one of the essentials or almost "a must" in a flash website, due the site could take several seconds or even minutes to load on, a little animation could make the audience stay or rather knew that the site is working.
If the site gonna load for several seconds and audience has no indication that the site is actually loading, it will like the site not working at all
these 3 are the loading/enter page from the 3 logos previous post



Logo Compilation

These are several of my own work, creating a logo for my own (not exist yet) desgin company, that is called "Chaser Design" there are 3 concepts with different themes. These logos will be developed more into a working flash/html website, (based on the logo). Some of the page prototype has been made.
