Design Module Assessment: Promote Your Blog

I chose a minimalist approach.  My son Zac is looking down in surprise and amazement at what his mum has produced.  His iris has been transformed into the background image used on my blog, to give a feeling of continuity between the artwork and the blog.  The only text I have used is the blog title "watch this space" and URL.  I have tried to give an overall feeling of "what's that about? I have to go see".

Update:  Since orange is my new favourite colour and my new blog background, I have changed my blog ad to match :)

Digital Imaging LA11: Shooting Motion

Unfortunately, my camera is not capable of taking motion photos with the background blurred.  For this activity, I have used Photoshop's motion blur filter.

Digital Imaging LA9: Making Backgrounds for Web Pages

I like this background as the colours are easy to look and not overly distracting.  The plane overlapping onto the background image is very effective in portraying the feeling of soaring through the clouds.

Digital Imaging LA8: Web Image Formats

I have chosen to combine green with orange for my layout as I believe the contrasting colours work well together.  The base structure of the layout is a 5x3 grid, and the images have been set out to hopefully give structure and balance.

The images chosen represent recycling and earth-friendly products, with the larger tree image to emphasise the environment and remind us what we are protecting by living a green lifestyle.
