Explanation of the Fonts


Font: Aervias Brasil NF





This font could be used for the slogan because of it is decorative and is sans serif. This means, that it is attractive and is easy to the eye. In my opinion, this font is the correct type for the slogan of EcoGen since it fits the brief and the purpose of the company. 

Font: Last Ninja 





This font is a lot more different than the first font because it is a serif font, but in away. This font is called Last Ninja and has a very medieval look, however I think if I could manipulate it a bit using Photoshop, the slogan could be quite appealing. 

Font: Eldorado





This serif font has a script type look, but is actually a Western and old style font. I think it fits with the brief and speaks well to the idea of the company even though the font is mean to represent the Old West.  

Font: Trading Post NF





This font is sans serif too and is also very  modern. It could be very effective when I use it for the slogan. This font is very clean and has a good look and organization in general. 

Font: Metal Lord 





In my opinion, this font is very eye catching and serves the idea of the company. It could be very effective when it is put with the logo. In addition, this font is very sophisticated and modern.

http://www.intowebmarketing.co.uk/website-analysis-apple-mac.html

This article is very useful to use when designing your own website and when entering websites. People normally websites without realizing the graphical design of it. This article shows why the Apple Website is such a good example of professional graphical design. Firstly, the main page loads up in less than a second. This is quite fascinating when considering the amount of graphics used. In addition, the menu page is very well organized and is very attractive. Secondly, the colors were also very well chosen since the grey and white background gives a neat and professional look and provides a good contrast against the readable text. Thirdly, the length of the pages is well balanced and rather than having endlessly long pages, they have given more options when entering the main categories. In addition, the online shopping facility is comprehensive and easy to use. The Apple website gives a clear indication why Apple Mac is a leader in innovative technology.

Fifa O9 Review

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/913/913467p1.html

The latest Fifa console game has been improved quite dramatically comparing it to its previous games. New animations, sound effects and graphics were added to make the game as polished as possible. For examples, players in open space will call for the ball while defenders will raise their hand to alert the referee that is an offside-ball. As a result Fifa 09 is seen as the most realistic football game to date.

Tips for Designing

Law of Thirds - design is divided into 9 boxes

The subject of the photo/design has to be where the lines intersect.  The subject should always be on the left side of the design, since we read from left to right. The positive subject should be on the left. For example, if there is a transition of beauty to darkness then the beauty has to be on the left and the darkness on the right.
