My website

Style of website-GRUNGE

As my event has a spooky feel to it, I feel that the grunge style will be most appropriate.


This is a background template that I have adapted that i plan to use when developing my website.

Here I have applied the background and began working on the design on my wedbsite using Adobe dreamweaver. I am going to download a grunge font to use on the main heading and then I need to choose a well suited secondary and tertiary font for the rest of the information. I may use the same primary and seconday font for things like headings and links to new pages.

Flash workshop

Week One

Using auto script we dictated movement, scale, rotation and the anchoring of very simple objects and text to create an organised design

Week two we used autoscript to create buttons giving the buttons mouse actions.

Mouse over- changed the word up to over

Mouse down- cue for motion to start

Mouse up- stopped any motion

Week 3- again using action script created a short introduction animation with 3 buttons, one to play animation again, one a menu button and the other a link to a new page. on the second page, made a back button.... idea on how a website would work.

Dreamweaver

Using Dreamweaver was much easier than I first thought, the template was already in place for us yet in comparison to Weebly there were much fewer restrictions.

On photoshop I created a grunge looking background to place into Dreamweaver. Using a template we added some pre existing text to create an example website for some kind of event.

The background is in the form of grunge style, using old, worn vintage looking objects- could be ideal of my project... my event has a spooky feel about it in which grungge style would be appropriate.

Using FLASH... Week 1

This was my first time using flash so the programme was completely new to me!

BUT!

I managed to create this banner, using an image from the internet and some text...


This technique could be useful in making banner advertisements for my events to promote on other websites... eg Facebook, Twitter or any other social network/ urban event websites.


I also created this individual webpage background using Flash.

Using Weebly...

I began to create a website using Weebly. It is very basic and easy to use yet it feels a bit to me like you are restricted slightly to template layouts.

After choosing a template, I measure the size of the image space and created a banner image for the top of the web page

I added 5 pages to my wesite and kept to a particular colour theme and particular fonts. The wesite allowed me to add contact sheets, with required or unrequired filed options as well as images, videos and custom html. However I do not feel like this technique looks most proffesional.
