Character design

These textures I have scanned for an evil character.

Changing a color, shape of each texture I will get a different effect for creating characters visual look.

Changing a leather color I can get it look as a different material for example white leather also can give a white bone look.

Grass can be used for a background , changing color to grey it will look better.

::: Badly designed websites :::

::: another website which gives a pain to your eyes.

This website don't stop flashing at all.

Badly designed to describe a religious things.

::: On this poorly designed website is so much information that first page layout you can scroll down for a miles.

So much information that you can't follow what it is about.

Also too many pictures. Badly designed navigation bar.

::: As soon as I opened this website my eyes started to hurt. Because there is to many bright colors. Also there is too much text in small font and I can not pick up a main meaning of the website.

There is a lots of unwanted animations.

:::Good website designs:::

::: This is a London famous hairdressers website. Very simple menu bar gives an easy navigation true all the options including collections, salons, galleries, and stylish pictures probably edited by Ps.

As soon as you click on option you need a navigation bar disappears but a "menu" button stays so you have clear screen for viewing images or videos.

::: Also one of the best web designer website is a Best Web Gallery. This website shows other great designers they collect a wide range quality web sites.

:::This is a website about some film called Fringe

also very good designed with quality pictures and colors. Short trailers of each season also available. Good for them who never saw it before. It gives good introduction for new viewers.

Easy to navigate. No unwanted advertisements or popups.

:::This is a T-Shirt online shop website. Its good becouse it is in very high quality - pictures are very good and it is very easy to navigate. And it is not too bright and no unwanted images flashing.

Flip book animations

Only a pad of paper and a pencil are necessary to make a flip book animation. It works when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate by simulating motion or some other change.

Praxinoscope

The first Praxinoscope was made in 1877 by Frenchman Charles-Émile Reynaud.
