 Development process
For my website to stand out and attract user attention, it is necessary to create an animated  banner. Firstly, I began with a set of a few different ideas I had for my banner.

The first idea I had was a simple one. The background would be fire (or a city on fire if there was more time to construct it). There would then be a flag waving in the wind, with the name of the game emblazoned on it. there would also be a stationary Mega Mecha head, which may include realistic lighting effects.

The second idea was this: a pidgeon at the very right hand side of the banner, waiting for about a second before a fist comes flying into the view. This fist would then hit the pidgeon, knocking them both out of view. The name of the game would then appear on the background.

The final idea is the Mega Mecha name shortened to "MM", which stands as if it was a human looking up at a kaiju. The head of Mega Mecha would then come into view, until it was in the center of the banner, looking at the user.

I reviewed all the aspects of the banner designs I had made, and settled on a final design. It would be a city in flames, with the mega mega logo coming into shot, stopping next to the name of the game (which would be in front of the flames). I have created a storyboard to show this process.
