Web Design Mascots

Royal Tutorial — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 23:18:41 +0000

Along with a logo and tagline, a mascot is an important part of a company’s branding. Branding gives business entities an “official image” that they would like to portay to their potential customers. Almost all companies stand by their branding very strongly, as it soon becomes their identity. Sure, sometimes when we see a commercial or logo, we will be reminded of the company is was made for; however, nothing makes people recall a company or service faster than being reminded of its beloved mascot! The ultimate goal of any company mascot is to be able to remind someone of their company or service without even having to say a word. Just think of some of the most prominent mascots in our world today that pretty much everybody can identify in under a second just by looking at them. Characters such as the Geico Gecko, Tony the Tiger, and the Slowsky Turtles have found a place in our hearts and minds…. exactly what their founding companies had in mind.

The web is no different when it comes to using mascots. While it is never essential, it really can’t hurt to have one more thing that visitors can easily associate with their website and service. Here we showcase 30 creative mascots from different corners of the web…. even some from the past. Enjoy.

50 Creative Movie Posters

Guest Contributor — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 04:44:15 +0000

Movie posters are not only a form of art, but advertising as well. Of course, art and advertising have gone together like peas and carrots since the early ages of cinema, and modern times are no exception. A movie poster has to portray an image of an upcoming movie, and it only has a limited amount of space and time to do that for potential viewers. For the most part, movie posters tend to remain minimalistic, trying to express a single message about the upcoming movie that the production company wants to stress above all others. It takes a very creative mind to do this effectively, and sometimes, a movie poster can become a classic work of art.

More than just art, movie posters have become collectibles within the vast industry of movie memorabilia. Having a single image that is meant to represent and entire movie is part of what makes the posters so important to many people, as people tend to identify themselves with certain movies, as well as music. Of course, sometimes we all just like looking at fantastic art, and it’s simply a bonus that they can remind us of our favorite films. Lets take a look at 50 examples of incredibly creative movie posters from days of old and new. If this post isn’t enough for you, there are over 20 resources listed below the images that will take you to even more movie poster madness! Enjoy!

Stunning Flash Effects

Royal Tutorial — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:02:41 +0000

It seems every year, Flash designs become evermore impressive and beautiful. When skilled flash designers manage to create a design with the perfect combination of graphics, animation, video and sound, along with mixing in great user interaction, a flash design becomes a true work of art. It could be a promotional campaign for a new web service, or an online business presence for an advertising agency. No matter what it's purpose, stunning flash designs have the power to impress users, and ultimately grab their attention far more easily than any regular web mediums.

While most flash animations we interact with day-to-day aren't usually that impressive by themselves, the following collection of designs are absolutely breathtaking. It's presentations like these that really stretch the limits and prove the power of Flash.
