Below you can see how the type has been used in the banner. It gives it a really cheeky feel which the CanCan* is all about! Using similar colours and adding a shadow behind the prominent words added emphasis to the right element.
With the help of Tweet my Event, I created the event which would then be transferred to my actual Twitter page... Now people can follow me and keep up to date with new events which may be created in advance.
>> Advertisements can easily take up big chunks of space in the layout of a website. Whether it has one large banner ad or several smaller ones bunched together, the layout will be affected. Some websites will spread out various advertisements throughout the website, others will confine them to a specific area and leave the rest of the website ad-free. "The strategy here depends of several factors, but websites in particular industries and niches tend to take similar approaches. For example, major news websites typically have advertisements spread throughout the website’s layout. They may not include several ads in any one specific area, but they do have many spots that contain few ads."
"In contrast to news websites, many blogs keep banner ads contained within a designated area of the layout, typically the sidebar, and the rest of the blog may contain no ads. With this approach, the designer needs to account for advertisements in one large area of the layout, but the rest of the website will have little or no need to accommodate ads."
I use Facebook daily and have many friends which I Keep in contact with, this gave me a perfect chance to create an event which my friends could as though they we real people who would have genuine interest.
I knew that people wouldn't join if they knew it was a real event as it's not something which many people would buy in to, so before hand I sent round an email informing them that this was a 'fake' event. This way people knew that it was a bit of fun and didjnt matter how they reacted etc.
So far several people have joined!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
>> These were some of the more trendier logos which I found on smashingmagazine.com, this was a really good website in order to find what you wanted according to what style you were aiming for. Although I liked icons such as these, I wanted a more personal approach and decided to find a hand-drawn memorabilia. variation which would link to the idea of vintage 
>> The actual animated GIF can be seen at the top of the blog in all its glory...
>> For the actually event, I've come to a conclusion that in these economic times, It's a lot to ask people to go out and buy costumes for this five minutes of fame scenario. I think this will put people of coming if they know that the requirements mean they have to fork out some of their hard earned money.
_________Although when faced with feedback, Covent Garden wasn't the greatest of ideas, I still think that the aroma of the atomosphere will linger and encourage the publi to join in hopefully as well as the followers of the actual event. The image below shows the lengths people will go to get seen by the public. Costumes are a must to draw attention so I think this will work well.
>> I decided to use this style of template as it had a good sized banner which is where I could have an image relating to my event. Certain aspects will have to be adjusted such as the tabs which direct you to the various pages. Not everyone will be worried about the navigational part, as long you have a Home, and a couple of others. Think about USABILITY. Some of the examples in the sheet above really help with the ideas part of thinking about how to lay your page out etc. Limited colour range, clean graphics and consistency, consistency, consistency, consistency, consistency, consistency, consistency, consistency, consistency!! 
I'd quite like to use this music track to play in the background of the event/website etc. The pinicle of the CanCan... Something individuals can relate to!
3) Sountrack of Moulin Rouge ~ Because We Can-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCZs__8EnVE - Even women in the 20th century were trying their hands at this evocative dance... Racey and seductive for their time.
>> I particularly like the way in which the costumes and music can stay traditional but the actual dance can be upbeat and contemporary etc. Although not everyone in the flashmob will be up for dressing the part, staged memebers of a CanCan troup will be there on hand to get in the mood of a traditional french affair of the dance. >> A link to show how the once traditional dance can be transformed into something modern... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTJv4cPgnVE
>> Celebrities also get involved when it comes to flashmobs, Tyra Banks and Black Eyed Peas to name a few. They make it socialably acceptable to do this sort of thing, and makes people think that it is the 'in' thing.
>> "There's something really special when you take an audience and instead of just being passive and watching, you invite them to participate," he says. "That's why it was so magical for both parties. Two groups of people came together to create something that neither of them could have done alone."
^^ I really like the idea of creating a Vintage element to the advertising of the event, whenever I think of a CanCan dance I automatically think of a france Moulin Rouge theme... This something i could carry through!
"The can-can (more correctly not hyphenated, as in the original French: cancan; French pronunciation: [kɑ̃kɑ̃]) is regarded today primarily as a physically demanding music hall dance, performed by a chorus line of female dancers who wear costumes with long skirts, petticoats, and black stockings, that hearkens back to the fashions of the 1890s. The main features of the dance are the lifting up and manipulation of the skirts, with high kicking and suggestive, provocative body movements"
>> I tried a minimalist approach to the website, giving it a contemporary feel. Although I was going to stick to a monochrome theme with the imagery but when I tried injecting some colour to the picture on the front page it really brings out the other elements.
*The website itself is still in need of completion but the majority of the pages are done and gives an insight in to the event and myself, as well as a page for those which perhaps aren't familiar with what FLASHMOBS entail.
Celebrities are even in on the Flashmob Phenomena! One word for the video... Amazing!
