Task 3 - Review Our Website (Julie Jolly)

• Our website is fairly simple in its design.
• It is informative but not overloaded with too much information.
• This is a good point as in my initial research in other university website I found some of them to be too lengthy. Individual Elements
• It is suited to its target audience

Individual Elements

My contributions for this website involved taking images to be used for the site. I had to use my digital camera as well as borrowing the college camera. I used Photoshop to edit and touch up the images for the slide show. The slide show was done by Emrys. I spent time in designing a banner. I decided after seeing the design of the current college website I would prefer to do a panorama image of the college for the banner. My work involved Photo merging of the collective images and editing using various Photoshop skills. This is documented in a video and is available to view on our Group blog. I have not however documented all of the other design that I had worked on in a video form since the techniques applied were similar. One of my final version which was preferred by other group members is below.

Below is the video showing the designing of the banner using Photoshop. I also used  Cam Studio first to shoot the video. I  then used Windows Movie Maker to  create a speeded up version of the video. I also have put music onto this video using  Windows Movie Maker.

I helped in group work by playing a role in the video which has been done by Timothy Holden. I decided to use my own thoughts of what I felt could benefit the target audience in particular (girls) to do this course.

I was assigned responsibility at a very late stage of the web development of coding and designing the Requirements and Qualifications page for the website.

Things I would do differently in the future would be to have designed the Requirements and Qualifications page with more content.  As there was  little time I was unable to add more design features to the page.
