We were asked to bring thumbnails , scamps , wire frames and possible codes with us for the design for our website. We were also asked to bring visuals to explain our concept and see where we are. I decided to also bring with me digital mock ups of my website & What i have proposed so far to gain feedback.
We were split into groups for our web crits i was in group 3 in the afternoon and we had our interim crit with Phil & Lorraine.
I unfortunately for the crit had not yet produced the wire frame as i am still a little unsure about how to produce one and i want to make sure the measurements are correct so the layout works and is appropriate.
We were all advised to:
- Consider audience
- Tone of voice
- Grids
Feedback i received :
- Create a enlarged image option
- Have a scrolling across layout
- Keep the aesthetics of a simple layout
- Add a search bar option
- Possibly add a photography section
- Why ? will people view my website
- How ? might it be accessed and used
- Function ? Spend a full day on web
After looking at everyones work throughout the crit i then asked some final questions to help me -
- After looking at everyone's work i realised people have a lot of content do i need to include that much or is my content amount appropriate (more visual)?
No my content amount is fine its appropriate i don't need lots of information.
- Should my website have a logo or branding?
No because my website is a resource and doesn't need branding its an online archive.
- How might i add more information without over loading it with content?
Possibly have a featured artist of the month showcasing there work?
Maybe a directory an A-Z of artists used on the archive?
By the final crit i should have digital working website to show.
Aims:
-Create a plan
-Get creating my wire frame
-Begin Coding
I found this crit really useful and i realise i really need to begin coding so i can then step back and have a look at it and change anything that might need adjusting.
