Web Design 12/1211 Monday

Today I complete the content and tested the sight. I later on in day showed my client whom gave me feed back on the completed web site which I then include in my web design evaluation, that I also completed. I managed to complete the whole unit to the deadline.

Today I worked on the style of my web pages, hyper-linked all my pages together. With the aid of my teacher I was able to resolve the issue with the slide show and instead did the text slide show in Photoshop added it into Dreamweaver as an image. I completed the page layout on each page and even worked on the background colours. I'm basically finished and now only have the content/information to add and to do the evaluation.

With the aid of my teacher the code mix up between the two slide shows was sorted however, on the text slide show an element not wanted kept appearing, unfortunately this was not resolved and instead I went onto creating my page links for my web design. I now need to finish the design template for the other pages and add content, link them all and then tidy up certain elements and styles of my web design. Once this is all done I’ll be finished and able to get my client feedback for Monday evening and type up my evaluation.

I had to download my images which took a while due to be being in NIF format, I then had to use Photoshop to resize them and save them for web as Jpegs. I then inserted my slide show widget however, the coding confused its self and some how mixed itself with the text slide show I incorporated earlier in the web. Unfortunately due to the lesson coming to an end I was unable to resolve the issue.

Today I had complications, I managed to weak my slide show and finished working on my menu bar, however that took up most of the dedicated time, however my menu bar is now finally complete. I now have to add my final touches such as the slide show of images.

This lesson I managed to get the table sorted and text and slide show sorted. I’m almost done on the homepage, and only have certain tweaks and the menu bar to work on. I believe by the next lesson I would have created my other pages and be adding content. Which isn’t too hard to do.

The lesson today was a productive one, I managed to insert my slideshow of text with the assistance of my teacher, I also learnt how to change to font and apply different colour and fonts to the different types of text in the slide. I also attempted doing the table again to finish off my homepage template, this again kept distorting however I kept and with the help of my teacher will move segments about to correct this issue. My next goal is to get images of the instructors teaching car to place on in the design and content info, so I can begin the next pages.

Today I tried inserting a table within the table of my web design, however the page kept distorting and looked distorted in live preview. This was something I needed assistance with, and so in the end I stopped and undid the table I had done and instead, inserted the last element of my background, which was the orange separate background were I would like my text slideshow to appear.

Managed to work on the top menu bar, however it was not fully working and wouldn’t allow for a transparent background. I decided to move on from this element of the web design and begin working on the other elements of the web design, such as fixing the background gradient colour so it doesn’t show so much white. I also added in my road track border at the top of the page as an image, this was easily inserted to the page

Today I ran into my next complication of not being able to preview my design in web browser, this was easily solved be certain segments in Dreamweaver being altered. I managed to get my main background elements done and put in illustrator. I also made myself an Adobe account to enable access to widget browser.

In order to solve the issue previously I had to start my design all over again however this time the table was designed differently. This time we managed to get the top of the homepage completed, and I was able to complete the rest of the table.

Today I attempted piecing my web design together in dream weaver, however it kept failing due to table layout. My teacher helped me realize that my design in Photoshop wasn’t to the scale of 1024, and so disabled me from piecing together the design in illustrator. I had to resize my design in Photoshop and then retake the measurements and recreate my table. However the next complication was the top background not working together, which I didn’t have time to correct in the lesson.

Today I put my final web design into Photoshop. The rulers in Photoshop helped me to make my web table in dream weaver. I attempted making the table on my own and then took measuring’s of all the segments in Photoshop, to help me to puzzle my homepage design together. I managed to complete the table in this lesson however didn’t get to the stage of piecing my web design together.

I fully completed my Final design, and did a spider diagram sort of story board for it. I handed in the mood boards, client feedback, initial designs, gant chart, and story board. I am a little bit behind my planning however should I'm still up to date with all my work.

I've almost completed the template final design, and after consulting with my client, I have been told to add more pictures to the front. The design of the site they are happy with and particularly like the logo and use of different colours.

I carried on with the Final design of my web design, however have become stuck on what elements to add to the homepage, I will discuss with my client further what they would like to see on the homepage of their website

Today I started my Final design using Photoshop. I used the feedback from my client to guide me in my design and content of the home page. So far I have managed to come up with a background colour, I have designed the logo and quote for customers to identify with.

Today I started and completed my initial designs, I just need feedback from my client in order to start my final design. I decided to do four initial designs, so that my client has more designs to choose from. I decided to sketch out my designs rather than use photo shop to come up with a design, as it allowed for more freedom in the designs I hatched out.

I wasn't in for Monday's Web design, however my Mood Board is complete and I have client feedback, I will now begin my four initial designs, which I'm going to sketch out and then outline using Photoshop, after this I will find out from the client what web design she likes best, what'd she'd like added, changed and kept the same, and any improvements to be made.

28/09/2011- I completed my mood board and my next step will be to show it to my client to get feedback on it, what they like and don’t like.

Web Design Log 26/09/2011

 I started on my mood board. I printed my images and started to put them together to create something like a presentation to present to my client to find out what she liked and didn’t.

Today we were given out assignment which was to design a website for a client. We had to choose someone who we could design a fully functioning website for, I chose to do one for my mum to advertise her driving lessons. Once I had established whom I would be working for, I began my client introduction.  I found out what it is the client wanted and a bit about them, in order for me to begin to start thinking about a design and come up with a mood board.
