Creating a Production Logo

From the Facebook image posts we where able to find a final idea for the logo, this included a picture of a bee creating the logo, "Hazy Days." We used Google search engine to find an image of a bee and this was one of the options;

This bee we found on the website, <http://www.about-bees.com/6-animated-bee.html> was the one we decided to go with because its really cute and it relates to the summery imagery that is associated with 'Hazy Days' and the romantic genre. However, we couldn't go with this exact bee, as we needed to put our own spin on it so we changed the colour of his little bucket from red to pink.

 We used the paint element to select a colour and change it, we decided to go with pink because it is a colour connotation of the romantic genre as it symbolises love and happiness. To start doing this we downloaded the GIF and brought each individual image onto photoshop that was necessary.

This is the programme that was opened up so we could view the individual images of the bee. We selected the images that was appropriate for our own individual GIF, which shows the main aspects of a bee taking flight. We then proceded to place the images onto the software that is known as photoshop elements to change the bee's imagery to our own style.

We used the website, <http://picasion.com/> to make our GIF. The instructions where to upload three pictures that we created in order to make them move. You could then select which size and speed of our preference, we decided to go with a fast pace that would emulate the movement of a bee to make it look realistic.

This is the GIF that we finally received of our bee with its pink tub of honey. It showed it in movement so you could specifically go back a step to adjust its properties, however we thought that our bee was perfect to be included in our production logo <3

This is the HTLM code, this is what we used to insert the GIF onto this blog - <a href="http://picasion.com/" title="gif maker"><img src="http://i.picasion.com/pic59/3cdf944a5b715ca8e423cfe023a1af08.gif" border="0" alt="gif maker"></a>

Then we had to download the GIF onto the computer, these are the steps that we had to go through.

This shows each frame that we used to create the GIF, now we have the option to make adjustments if needed for instant, annotation and movement. The only problem we have the bee at the minute is the speed at which its wings moved, a normal bee would go a lot faster and look less twitchy and slow.
