Typography

These are examples of typography, using tools in photo shop to structure  the pattern and shape 

After learning how to bed words into shapes like below i realised, its kind of like comics and cartoons when they have wrods go in one ear as it narrows into a cone then come out of the other ear. which out saying anyhting its made an impact. 

You know that it would mean thats gone straight though them.

Typography is interesting because you can give words an image. making a word shout without using an exclamation mark, and by putting it in an interesting shape you it makes it a lot more attractive to read and look at. 

I believe it can also create a mood of the room, by making it red and pointy  it creates an image of hostility and sharpness.

by using a soft colour  and rounded words, it creates a nice pleasant atmosphere.

Also typography can be used to voice opinions , haveing one word stand out in a mist of other words which are related.

To me this poster is alot more exciteing then just seeing him. his face is covered in lyrics or ways to describe his music. but its more eye catching too and makes you wana take a look.

Typography is used in normal magazines too. if they where talking about over weight people they might use rounder letterings and fonts to empisise, what they are talking about.

Making a button and useing features.

Clicking where i want it to stop in the frames , I opened  window and the code snippet , and went into the time line navigation.
i added a stop time line to the farm I wanted which froze it their.


we then added a button by drawing a rectangle  clicking it so it was selected pressing f8 and choosing button. we then double clicked it which made the back ground pale out.


where the key frames usefully are you will see the up over down and hit actions. you can add what you want tot happen when iit does it , for example the button changing colour when you click it .  you can move it make it change colour or show signs when being hovered and over being clicked .




Effect on my comic




Buttons are going to be essential to my comic, after every image a button shall be their which will allow you to turn to the next section. or turn back , it could even create the possibility to create an alternate ending or a plot change though a choice in the comic. 


Because I'm slightly behind , adding the plot twist seems less likely how ever . I have experimented to try and see if it was possible.
half way though I created two arrows which where different colours. Red and Blue.
By clicking the red button it took it to to the next  key frame. 
where as , if you clicked the blue one it would skip the next 2 key frames and go to another scene. 

Classic tweens and animation.

We all took the same image from the internet, changed the resolution , and pixels per inch.  so it would be right for an I pod.


We uploaded the image  onto flash after altering the image.


We changed the image into a  movie clip


Adding rulers so we can see the size and space we could work with we shrunk the image  so it fit between the ruler lines .

we added a key frame at 50 and increased the size of the image and put the tower in the centre of the  page while frame 50 was selected and added a classic tween. 


this gave the image a zooming motion as the frames went up.

adding another 50 frames in front of the image just to let the image stand.


adding another key frame  50 ahead I moved the image to the left , to give the image a panning look once the classic tween is added.


















In my comic ive also tried to make a rumble efect moveing the image alittle up and down, and also tilting it alittle. and repeating this. 
As ive used flash more animating has got alittle easier. although  i sitll get lost in the missions of layers it can have. 
zooming panning everything will be used to take in focus points , show a bigger pictures and more chaos. 
add some action to it. 
Definately usefull

Storyline's

Apocolypic/End Of The World  - I as thinking of making a storyline, a bit like a clover field and aliens mix, No main characters more a story line of how the world will end , and a slight twist at the end.


Cartoony -  about red and grey squirrels and how red are a dying breed because off the tyrant of the grey squirrels

• Cashew - the main character a teen who is inspired by the tales of an old wise man , who talked about the glory days of the red squirrel empire.
• General Grey - leader of the grey squirrels army
