Web Introduction

Take into account the fact that your website will be judged in the first 5 seconds of it being open.

What you need to make sure:

- Clear navigation: where is the navigation, how big are the links, how do you go back.
- Files need to be organised into a folder and all of a smaller size file which doesn't take long to upload onto the website.
- Font, if you are going to use a special font of which may not be on everyones computers it needs to be uploaded as an image so not to turn to the default type of Times Roman.
- Photoshop - New - Web - 800 x 600 - RGB

I think for my website I would stick to having my navigation bar either along the top of the page with my logo in the left hand corner, or having the navigation bar down the left hand side. I would also chose a white background for my website to show off my work.

Creating a design for a website. We needed to think about the links between the pages, how people would get to each page and also back and link with the homepage. 

First attempt, stupidly I used 6 pages when usually 5 page maximum for a small website like we would be creating. Also why would we have clients? Stupid! 

 Second attempt worked better it all also linked back to the home page and there was also an easy way to click back to the page you were just on. However lorraine said for everyone to think about our sub pages. How many you would actually need and want for the information on the website.

My own personal boards for YCN

Type Module - Session 10

Looking at different/creative ways to split the paragraph.

 Could be slanting the indentations? Or using kerning on the last line to 'underline' the paragraph.

 

 Maybe just using tabbing within the paragraph.

Filling in the rest of the line with colour?

For the sample book we needed a page at the back of the book of which would inform the potential customer could then get in touch if they did indeed want a sample.
