Build your Flash Intro

After the 3D logo session last Friday, we have another unique session in store: Build your Flash Intro tonight at Ycademy.

Join from yorGOtalk at 7 pm London time (GMT).

Flash Intro

A flash Intro can be used in multiple ways, one of them being product marketing. Also, the format of the media is swf and can therefore easily be embedded into the flash website we are building at the March Online Seminar.

Have a look at a DEMO FLASH HERE.

Learning Basics of HTML

When you first start to do things on the internet you are quite happy to follow existing programs getting the feel of how it all operates and learning how to find your way around. Then comes the time when you want to start branching out a little on your own, doing things for yourself. This is the time when you need to learn some basics, like learning the ABC of the internet, learning some Basics of  HTML.

Some people are put of by this notion of learning something new thinking its really difficult, however HTML really isn’t that hard. Remember when you first  stared to do sums at school? well once you understood how it all worked it was all easy. HTML is pretty simple.

Basics of HTML

HTML stand for Hyper Text Markup Language. The language is easy, its plain english.The words we use everyday. To get these words to be visible in a browser we need to give the browser instructions to read them. The instructions are the HTML,  this is what the browser looks for to display correctly what you have written.

HTML Tags

Instructions come in the form of a series of  tags <tag>. Each tag gives an instruction. Each tag is a keyword surrounded by brackets <tag>. Its very much like the training soldiers receive to stand to attention and then to be at ease. You give the command, then you close or finish the command. So we have an opening <tag> and a closing </tag>. The / tells us its the closing tag instruction.
 
Just learning a few basic tag functions will help you with some very basics tasks online like inserting the html code for a banner for example. I remember myself the frustration I had when trying to do this when I first ventured out online without first learning some Basic HTML. Had I first learnt some of the basics I wouldn’t have wasted an hour or two in frustration.

Ycademy Basic HTML

Having a handy reference that you can refer to at anytime, like the ‘Ycademy Basic HTML’ is so useful, and you can return to it time and time again till you are more proficient in what you do. Printing out a copy and keeping it handy I personally found was easier. I was educated in the era when printed matter was all there was so old habits die hard.

Build your Flash Website

It’s obvious, we need some pictures for our flash website. In quest of a topic I went for a stroll through the streets of Athens, armed with my mobile phone to come back with some pictures. Sure mobile phone pics are not really what Life Mag would publish, but then I just need colors and colors again to work with in Photoshop.

Here are some of the rather mediocre pics which I will transform to smart stuff later.

Athens

OK, OK … here are also some views of the Acropolis … give it some time to load for best fun :-)

Acropolis

Here some ideas to tweak low quality images for your flash site backgrounds:

3D Logo Design

Relaxed Friday sessions are always a lot of fun. Using a logo creator that anyone can find online we created some fun 3D Logos. Ycademy sessions are always worth attending, especially for anyone who would like to accelerate their learning curve,  not only with fun stuff but also more serious topics concerning media, marketing or publishing online. 

3D Logo Fun Samples

These 3D logos were created very quickly during the friday session. For really professional looking logos one would spend time creating them with a professional tool like photoshop.

Sample 1.

Sample 2.

Sample 3 with more added fun.

Click on the above images for a larger view.

New Logo Design

A brand new website, Zo Web Design still in its preparatory stages, needs a new logo. After much deliberation and a brainstorming logo design study session I have decided on a very simple design. Even a simple design can take time to create and execute.

Font Based Logo

I have decided on a simple font based logo design conveying the message of the website and its purpose.  The design is clean, functional and yet stylish. The design utilises the professional Helvetica font which is very clear and crisp when used in a design. The only choice of colour is black on a white background, however the background  colour can always be changed to suit a particular site design.

This particular typeface also creates a clean design that works well on business stationery such as business cards, letter heads and newsletters etc. It is scalable and reproduces well in print.

Build your Flash Website

For the purpose of the March Ycademy online seminar, we will equip Seminar Participants with a professional Storyboard software. The tool allows you to plan your site. Working with a Storyboard will save time and provides a great way of communicating with customers.

Example Storyboard

This is a sample based on screen-shots to show the defined layouts by the Evolution Script.

The storyboard is not really populated, except that it indicates which xml script is concerned. More tonight at the call.

The storyboard can also be exported in form of a movie as the case may be:

Click HERE for a sample.

Join tonight’s call to see more from the Storyboard!
