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.

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:

WP Best  NewsPaper Theme

Choosing a new theme  to use for a website is not a decision to be taken lightly. There are a few issues to consider carefully and it all really depends on the main purpose of the website. Once the purpose is agreed upon then choosing the correct theme is a more simplified process. One of the best themes around that I know  of  is the WP Best Newspaper Theme  – a theme that can be applied to most any purpose as it is so adaptable and can be used as a basic platform for most anything.

The WP Best Newspaper  Theme based on the Semiomantics NewsCast Script is an all time favourite with many online publishers. The Best WP Newspaper Theme is one of many themes developed and tuned by Semiomantics. The theme utilises an attractive layout, magazine or news, that introduces both text and graphics and is suitable for countless online applications such as gardening news, car sales, real estate, holidays just to name a few.

Best WP NewsPaper Features

Here are just a few of the features that make this newspaper theme administratively friendly: 

* Easy to admin area – navigate through various sections with ease
* Media Gallery for both images/photos and video
* Auto image resizer – easily display photos and images
* Easy to use category navigation
* Countless Widgets increasing flexibility of layout and composition.
* Banner Ad Management area
* Small Ad Management area
* Ideal for product integration
* Easily adapted for Social Network Marketing

As with any other newspaper, the ad management areas can be used to sell advertising space to clients or as an advertising space for personal products or affiliate marketing.

The Newspaper theme is also  very much a firm favourite with many marketers who use it as a platform  to display products with both images and detailed product information creating a very eye catching display. You can take any plain site and turn it into an attractive  feature-rich portal. With its ease of customisation its a quick and easy way to have a professional looking site.

Create your 3D Logo

Ever wanted to create your own 3D logo? And get one of these Hollywood looks or glow like on Broadway?

Well, it’s possible!

Yorgo Logo

A bit of color, a nice font, a bit of bevel, some light and a shadow and you are in the race. Of course you can choose some more fun colors and textures or even neon light, your imagination is the limit.

Once you have finished your basic design, add some animation to give it this touch of the rotating Big Mac on next corner’s Junk Food kiosk. An axe to rotate around, a .GIF format, a background to drop the shadow on, yeahhh you may even add some music and you are ready to rotate on top of the Empire State Building … or as the case may be on the Eiffel Tower.

After months of heavy anticipation Trig Slash has finally released the first official single from his forthcoming debut album “Best of ill-Town Volume 1″. Entitled “Smoking Suicide” the produced cut is not your average radio joint that people expected  but the beats are serious & full of Trigs usual twists & turns. Trig Slash gives a recap on the bumpy road he took during the past twelve months in New Jersey where on his return he found many things in the Ghetto where he was born & raised had taken a turn for the worse.

Trig Slash has allways been a favourite at Global drop in during the week days where you may find Trig Slash jammin with the Global boys in store im sure hed be happy to sign an a copy of his new albulm.
