hand drawn animation (rotoscope)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63o3ENsF2kE

This is a hand drawn animation and only uses a simple black line to define character.This was most likely done by tracing frames from a video.I like the idea of the character walking onto the page and drawing his own instrument, this could have been done by drawing only part of the guitar on each frame until guitar was completed.

This animation although it has been done from someone that has been doing animation for awhile, the main concept is simple-The conflict between the sheep and the coyote. The movements of the characters mostly show slow basic animation. I particularly like how this animation changes perspective views in each scene.

This movement gives the the sheep character and embracing the fact that sheep can have a lot of energy. This could be a way i could use to animate my sheep.

Carsonified.com only uses one base colour and white in the pages linked off the main page. White teens to be a contrasting colour which can be set against most colours and still be a readable and legibility colour for text.

qlpros.com has an interesting way of displaying their information.The tabs on the top of the page automatically scroll you down to the information instead of linking to the page.All the information you need to know is all on the same page and if you keep heading down the page will display it under each title. The use of placing and padding around the text is what makes it clear and readable.

Steedicon.com is a one purpose website which is solely about selling the designers icons.The websites illustration is symmetrical and centered which is visually nice to look at.The colours are limited and are slight variations from each other. I like the use of darker and lighter soft tones of green , using soft tones in contrast against the black and white imagery enhances the impact of the illustrations .

Sound illustration for cymbals

This is a good way of illustrating the sound of the cymbals as they clap together.
