Designing The Background For The Website






Here are the initial sketches for the 3D square design, It was an experiment to see what it would look life. We both liked the idea and agreed that a mock-up in photoshop would help us visualise it digitally.





To create the Background of the website we made coloured squares that almost look 3D. The colour used in the squares reflect the lights and colours used in the music video from the party lights and props. I made these squares by using the 'polylasso tool' to create the shape and filling it with colour. If the shapes were slightly out of line with one another, I moved them slightly with the arrow keys to accurately place them next to one another.


After creating the initial three 3D squares we could then carry on merging and duplicating the layers and placing them next to each other forming eventually creating a full canvas of 3D squares.


Carrying the Design further, duplicating into groups and lining up carefully so that there are no gaps between the blocks.


Finally merging all layers into a group and duplicating the group twice to get rid of any gaps that were slightly visible.

By Keeping the groups we are then able to change the colours of the blocks easily without having to repeat the whole process.
