Reasons for the Font:

I chose this font because I feel that i wanted to have a "SLENDER" like Menu feel e.g.

The font I used is called "Secret Labs" (not the same as the slender game), and i chose this because of it's classic sense of spine chilling uncertainty, and gives off a look as if a child wrote it, and I feel that a possessed demonic child is scarier than an adult in the similar situation. Although, the arrows and numbers in the concepts are actually made by hand, and the Photoshop steps I took to make them are extremely simple to recreate.

Character Concepts

The Original Concept

Sonia Easton Concept Idea: 

figure and eye concept

I created this Concept figure from the concept drawings, in which turned out very nicely because of previous experiences with drawing Human figurines from scratch.

Then I Smoothed the Pixels out to give it a bit more of a smoother effect

then I added some colour the concept. In a way, to see what I'm working with

The next stage included smoothing out the image and colours, also adding the start of the facial features

Then I add some more facial features and some more smoothing, considering the fine details of the concept I decided to add some shading.

Then I added a bit more detail to the shading and I smoothed out the eye colouring as well and added a nose to the face, I also stopped the arm from looking like it was melting or something

The eye seemed to bee a bit too close to the hair line and so that kinda screwed up the face so I toned down the eye colouring from the hair, I also fixed up the figure of the concept to make it look less, pixelated. 

The Brief Bio:

Typography Demo (Demo 4)

 first we started off by having the word Baskerville shortly after that we switched around the colours and stretched the wording using a motion Blur

 then we added another text saying Baskerville and place it over the already stretched word

 then i added the word secrets and gave it a outer glow and grew the size of it and lowered the opacity to give it a ghostly like effect

then i copied the Secrets layer and Flipped it, then i blurred it and stretched it to make it look more 3D

Road Signs

Road signage can be in all different shapes and sizes . For example The Circular Speed limit signs of England and the Square Speed limit signs of america. But no matter what the signs look like they always seem to be really successful, I believe this is because the consequences that can be inforced and the problems it can cause.

Temporary signs such as these are for things such as accidents, roadworks, and Incidents that require bypassed traffic conditions. The colours in the signs are very different to other signs with it being yellow and black or plain red and white, this makes it so the driver is more alert about what is ahead.

Animal warning signs are there to prevent people from not being cautious and have the possibility of accentually hitting a kangaroo or some animal like that. once again the colours in this are yellow and black but not to draw attention, it's more about the landscape and how to make it easy to see.  

Information signs are usually around motorways telling you where and how many miles before a certain destination,
they are usually a large blue and white   board that is very noticeable to see.

Direction information is usually placed around roundabouts to show you what direction you should go, the colours are usually just blue and white, so pretty plain but still noticeable.

Warning signs are there to tell people that certain things are around, for example, the sign on the left is showing that is a "Children Crossing Zone". these are usually portrayed as a triangle  with a red outline and inside that is a white background with a black image. this is also seen as a warning.
