Here are some of the JavaScript programs we've been working on.
Adding VAT to an Amount<script language='JavaScript'>
a=parseFloat(prompt('Enter cost',0)); // ask user for amount to add vat to
cost=a; // set variable cost to the amount entered by user for a
vat=cost*17.5/100; // set variable vat to the amount of cost multiplied by 17.5 and divided by 100
document.write('£',cost,'+VAT at 17.5% =','£',cost+vat); // write sum of cost and vat to screen
</script>
Adding Numbers<script language='JavaScript>
a=parseFloat(prompt('Number to start from?',0)); // ask user for number to start adding from
b=parseFloat(prompt('Number to stop at?',0)); // ask user for number to stop adding to
count=a; // set variable count to amount set by user in a
sum=0; // set variable sum to zero
while (count<b) { // while count is less than the amount the user entered for b do the following
count=count+1; // add one to the amount of count
sum=sum+count; // add the amount of count to the amount of sum
}
document.write(sum); // write amount of sum to screen
</script>
Creating a Slash made of d's<script language='JavaScript'>
a=parseFloat(prompt('How many rows?',0)); // ask for user to input number of rows
row=0; // set variable row to zero
while (row<a) { // while row is less than the number inputted by the user for a do the following
space=0; // set variable space to zero
while (space<row) { // while space is less than zero do the following
document.write(" "); // write a space to the screen that the browser will not ignore
space=space+1; // add one to the amount of space
}
document.write("d<br>"); // write the letter d to the scren
space=0; // set variable space to zero
row=row+1; // add one to the amount of rows
}
</script>

Typography cat.
Just some doodles for original Catzilla idea
Trying out some different fonts. Generally I'm a fan of a nice, simple sans serif font, but I thought I should experiment with a few different kinds. I like some of the decorative fonts, but I'm still not being swayed from a lovely Century Gothic...
Here's a few doodle experimenting with a flower design for my logo. Possible a tulip, my favourite flower, though very sketchy or cartoony.
Here I was just trying out some of the different brush types available in Painter X. I want a kind of sketchy feel to my logo, as if it's been hand drawn.
Some initial concepts, possibly substituting the letter J for the flower's stem.
YouTube is a company that has been around for considerably less time than the previous two companies mentioned yet it has already because a successful and globally recognised brand. The website, which allows users to upload and share their own videos with others, reflects this purpose through their logo. The red box encasing the word 'tube' represents a television as this basically what the website makes your computer into, a television. The logo is very simple, being made up of really just the text, though I suppose you could say the red box was an image. This makes it very easy to describe to others, and also makes it memorable. It would be very easy to adapt the logo to other colours, though this has not yet been attempted by the company. Overall this effective logo has been very sucessful, and may have played a part in the overall success of the company itself.
