GATORADE DESIGN

For my packaging project i chose to Re-Design Gatorade's Packaging, my idea was to look at the history of gatorade and show it through the packaging, after i had researched gatorades history i chose to take it back to its roots, hence the slogan (back to the roots) i included The Florida Gators Emblem which is an american football college team because the assistant coach and some physicians came up with gatorade in 1965 and therefore was discovered by the team, i feel my design shows an iconic feature in gatorades history and i also felt it has to be shown more often.

WEB DESIGN

Creating Web Designs using a Six column grid - Photoshop.

During my class at college today i was learning how to create and use a grid, i created a grid by applying rulers and a margin. The rulers help to seperate the columns so i could apply my designs, i had to make sure my images were of the right size and that my text boxes were the same width as each column, in some areas i have chosen to overlap some of my text boxes to improve my layout designs.

These layouts represent a gallery page of a website, this will include two large images aswell as six small images contained in the six blue boxes the other boxes represent text such as a heading or website name or information about the website or the images.

FILE FORMATS / WEB

HTML - HyperText Markup Language is the main language that displays websites/pages or other information placed on the web. HTML is written in elements such as angled brackets like ( <html> )
html comes in paired tags such as <h1> and </h1>.

This is an example of an html format using tags and brackets :

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>

CSS - Cascading Style Sheets is used to describe the look and formatting of a document that is written in markup language. It supports the application of web pages written in HTML.

This is an example of using CSS.

Today i have been continuing with my web project and we have been
looking at file formats. We have been looking at these formats

FILE FORMATS

What is a .JPG ?

A jpg is a compressed colour image that can be reduced to about
5% of the original size but detail can be lost during the compression
causing the image to look pixelated.

What is a .TIFF ?

Tiff files can be any resolution and can also be black and white,
grey and scale and also colour. It supports high quality images.

What is a PNG ?

PNG is a file format that supports palette-based images. Creates
larger photo images than a jpeg.

What is a GIF ?

GIF Files are formats that can shrink the size of the files without
reducing the visual quality of the file.

What is a PDF ?

PDFs allow files to be sent to other applications or computers without
becoming damaged and they also keep the quality intact.
