Top Ten... First Assets

These are my assets for my first ident, all of them have been created in Photoshop.

The background is a black that fades into blue to create a night time appearance.

The Hollywood Boulevard - Walk of Fame, was created using a small sample from a photograph, which was then duplicated and transformed/mirrored in Photoshop to get a smooth pattern with no lines etc. The patterns were then pasted into the basic grid I had already drawn out in grey for a pavement feel, with stars dotted on some of the squares. It was created completely 2D although at first I did alter the perspective and then import it into After Effects but this did not work. The canvas I worked on was 9000 pixels long, this is so there would be enough of the layer for the camera to travel down.

The first set of text is Helvetica, to make it look authentic to the stars on the walk of fame, originally they are gold, but the type receded into the background and was not very legible at all.

The MTV logo has been coloured to match the composition.

The second set of text 'Coming Soon' uses the Honey Script which will feature in all of my idents.
