The creation of a Logo

I have fiddled around with Inscape to make a Logo for a Soldat Ladder, where soldat is a 2D shooter, and a ladder is ranking for player clans.

My first draft was

I went for the S with the Army Hat and the l as a ladder, but the owner of the site wanted more content, like guys and props and guns.

So i added 3 guys and some shooting, but still not enough details.

Here i went overboard so i toned it down but added another soldier.

Which is the final result.

More scribbler

I had to do some more Scribblerino

Scribbler

A new cool flash tool i found, Scribbler.  I wont explain it in words, but here is a quick drawing  with it.

Hype contest Booty

And the unboxing begins…

It’s a great price (Adobe Master Collection) and I hope I can make some cool stuff with it. I want to thank Joshua Davis and Branden Hall for setting up the contest and all the hard work they put into hype; And of course Adobe.

Back from boarding

So im back from boarding at www.avoriaz.com. It kicked ass!

Hype 1.1.1

So  a new version of hype is released over at http://hype.joshuadavis.com/.  The coolest thing about it is the new PNG functionality.

“ContextSavePNG which allows you to rip your small Flash canvas to a much larger transparent PNG.” – Joshua Davis @ http://vimeo.com/8809042

Its now very easy to use HYPE for large printing, whoho!

Ps. I have just tested it on some stuff i made before and you can see a clear difference in the quality of the output.

Old

New

The first one was saved as 640*360 by the good old print screen. While the second one was saved with the new PNG Context as 9600 * 5400 and then resized to 640 * 360. (Overkill ? =) )

Gridlayout

I  have played around today with the gridlayout to se how to combine that with mousefollow.  What I do is, I place some clips in the gridlayout, then i constantly calculate  the distance between the mouse curser and the clips in the gridlayout. With that information i can for example change the rotation of the clips according to the mouse position.  (Move Mouse Over)

Get Adobe Flash player

Someone must have made something like this before, and better;  but i could code this in just a couple of hours. That is what i like with hype.

Extra

Because of lag i also added them as links so one can test them in separate windows.
