Web banners

For this task i have to make a web banner advertising the art college.

For my first banner i started with some text asking "want to learn how to program games?", which then was followed by screen shots of classic video games such Metroid, Mario, Outrun and Sonic. the images scrolled from right to left with it ending with button which links to the college home page. I am very pleased with banner because of the scrolling images of old games and how it links to the website, clicking anywhere on the banner at anytime directs to the website.

My second banner has focused on the graphic design/digital graphic side of the course by advertising the software and programs that we use while also telling them how to use them for artistic value and commercial use as well. For this banner i used flash for the coding and animation and i used google to look for the logos of Photoshop, illustrator and flash. overall i am pleased with the outcome of this banner but if i were to do it again i would include an image of the college for the background.

Web banner demo

In flash we had to make an animated banner, first i had to draw a guide line using the pen tool, next i used the shape tool to draw a circle which i then converted it into a movie clip. then i had to code it to link to a theoretical.website.

This is a banner for discounts for restaurants, i like this banner because of how simple it is and of the choice of colour. the black helps to draw your eye to the picture of the food which makes it easy notice.

This a banner for a website called MarijuanaVaporiser.com. i don't like this one mainly because of the purple background, the yellow "BUZZ" and the black and yellow lettering. personally i think that the colours clash which makes it ugly.

Here is a banner for a sports gear website. this another good banner, the reason for this is because of the short animation of a boxer, it is nothing obnoxious so it doesn't become annoying. i also like the cool background colours which blend in nicely.

This an advert for a self-defence website, personally i think this ad is a bit over dramatic and sinister. even though something like this would work it just seems like too many scare tactics.

Finally, this an ad for bathroom surfaces and sinks. I personally dislike this one because of the way its layed out and the sky background which makes it look tacky. also the way the products are displayed makes this ad look strange.
