Branding the blog

We decided as a group that the layout of our blog needed to be changed. We knew we wanted to put up one of our logos as the background, and now that I had designed them, and the group decided on which one they wanted, I got to work with editing the blogs HTML codes. I also found a site that could add effects and animations to photos and so I got version that had a rippling water look, which I thought could relate with Durham and Alnwick, however I went against that idea and had to make my own animation, it's very subtle because I had to make it on photoshop which I not done before. I made a grungy effect which goes well with the rock genre. I kept the overall look of the blog minimal because I thought it would just make it look clear and neat.
