Task 12

Firstly we started with a font called mesquite Std and duplicated the text. We then went to smart filter and added a gradient overlay. On the gradient overlay, we added four colour stops and added different colours to make it have a creepy style. After we applied colours, we then went to filter, blur and selected motion blur  with a distance of 50 and angle of 32. Next we added an adjustment layer for brightness and contrast and clipped it to the layer below. On the original text, we went to layer style and chose bevel and emboss and also an outer glow. After that we did some final touches by using the brush and layer mask.

Here is my Title screen and main menu. I have used my character to make it look more interesting. Also I have chosen this text because it looks broken, liked its been squashed and that's what my game is about.

Task 11

 This sign is used for when road works are being cared out. This clearly shows a circle with a red border with fifty mile per hour. This means that you must not exceed the speed of fifty miles per hour for three quarter of a mile. 
 The sign above clearly shows a bicycle within a red circle. This means no cycling. Circular signs with red borders mean that orders must be followed. 
This sign is a triangle with a red border which means danger. This sign is warning the viewer that there is road works ahead.
Blue signs with no border show positive instruction, there is no warning ahead. This sign is showing that the minimum speed is thirty miles per hour, if this sign was white with a red border it would mean maximum speed of thirty miles per hour.
This sign is an information sign for tourist locations. This sign clearly displays a an animal, what the tourist location is and how far away it is, displayed by showing the number three indicated in miles.
