Monday, 23rd of August 2010

Over the summer holiday, I've collected most of the for my website about the bharatnatyam dance and the information were all split into different pages on the website. After researching, I've chose the information which is simple and at the same time gives lots of information. Then I gathered all these information together and tried to sum it up in my own words to write up a new set of information on my own. However I think some of my information are still too "chunky" therefore I might still have to cut down some information otherwise the customer might get bored awhile later after reading it.

I've recently downloaded Adobe Photoshop in my home computer and have tried to play around with all the effects there. I will then try to make a collage out of all the photos I've gathered from the internet, if some photos are too dark or needs some sort of adjusting, I can try to use Adobe Photoshop to fix it up. (Also, the photos I found on google weren't copyrighted therefore I can adjust and edit as many times as I want to)

After exploring around Adobe Dreamweaver over the summer and knowing all the basic functions to make a simple website, I would now like to try Wix.com (a flash design creation site) and see how Wix can create my website. Having to have used both software by then, I would then come to a final decision and see which would be a better fit for me for making a website. I would also talk to my client and ask for her opinion on my decision then.

What to do next:
- Explore Wix.com
- Have a talk with my client
- Cut down some information
- Make a collage of the photos I found on internet

  1. Chloe - I am concerned about the statement "Also, the photos I found on google weren't copyrighted therefore I can adjust and edit as many times as I want to" I hope you have documented somewhere in your ePortfolio the evidence that the photo owners have given a Creative Commons licence for the image to be reused (or similar). Lack of a copyright symbol is not the same as giving permission to reuse!

    You really need to get a move on with putting this all together. Have you gotten feedback from your client on the website mockup?

    How will you test your website? What do you need to look for BESIDES checking that links work, images/videos load? HAve you arranged for a group of friends to review the site when it's done?
