Advancing Ideas

I have designed some ideas using Adobe Photoshop, this means that we can easily transfer any elements from these ideas that we like straight into Flash. I have designed the screen in a slightly cartoon style, i feel this will suit better as using real photographs or realistic characters and objects may look out of place in the final design.
This is a slightly updated version of the rabbits hutch, I've used the gradient to give the hutch depth and a 3D effect, I've also added a half moon on the end of the hutch to appear as a doorway. I've added the lines to add the the reality of the hutch.


I have tried to make a water feeder similar to the sort they have on the side of rabbit hutches, I don't feel that it worked however as the perspective was wrong and it wouldn't go on the side of the cage, therefore it is just floating in the air. I will probably change this in the final design.
The bowl again is made using perspective, I made an oval with a smaller oval inside of it of a darker colour to give it the effect of it being deeper than the other part of the bowl.
I also wrapped the text "Russell" around the shape, this gave the bowl the look of having a lip around it.


This is the the side of the fence, I've repeated this shape around the side of the "playpen" for the rabbit, I don't feel it works however as it is at a strange angle and it is unclear what it actually is. I'm still trying to work out a way for it to work however it is hard to do from a birds-eye view.
The litter tray was made in the same way as the bowl was, the only difference with this was I added an extra lip to the top and also put a gradient on the inside of the tray.

The rabbit isn't designed in the same way as how the final design will be but I have added it as a representation of size.
The ball was designed using the blending tools in Photoshop, this will be there for the rabbit to play with.

This is part of the tool bar, I feel this is one of the stronger elements, I may change some of the subtitles but other than this I will keep it essentially the same.This is the final design together, I feel the layout works well and would probably suit mobile applications such as iPhone's best. The grass area is lacking decoration so does look plain.
