Keep on Designing


Assignment 4 (Reminder)• As a trainee at YellowZebra you have

been asked by your manager to design and create a small interactive website to demonstrate your creativity and technical skills in web design and development.• Your website must have a minimum of 5

pages but you have some freedom over what the site is about.


Your design should include:• User Requirements• Website Ideas• Structure Diagram• Sketches of layouts• File Structure• Project Plan



Before ChristmasFocus for today


Writing about the Style of the Website• Include:– level of language to

use– types and size of

graphics, – colours, – fonts and sizes, – layout

• This is in addition to the moodboards you have done

• It’s about describing the feel as well as the look of the website – setting out the goals you will achieve


File Structure• Before Christmas you worked on this• You just listed the files you will need• Do you need to update this or add

anything? You can keep updating as we go


Example• index.htm• youth-teams.htm• senior-team.htm• fixtures.htm• history.htm• Images (folder)–Club-logo.png–Cup-winners.jpg–Etc…


Structure Diagram• This is all about how webpages link up

to each other• Start with index.htm in the middle• Then add the main pages (that will be

on the main menu) as they will all link to each other• Finally add any pages that are linked

from only one page


Site Map• To plan out the links between sites• Do all link to all the others?• Are there key ‘central’ pages that link

to a number of others?


Project plan• Some parts of creating a website are

sequential while others can be parallel• Sequential means one at a time, one after

another – you can’t start the second until the first is finished– E.g. Setting up folders before creating web pages

• Parallel means both are happening alongside each other– E.g. finding images to use while creating web

pages


Gantt charts• Gantt charts help us plan, especially

when there’s a mix of parallel and sequential tasks• A line represents each task along a

timeline, labelled and carefully planned• Search for some examples

Sketches and Wireframes• I taught you that these are two

different things• However, for the assignment I’m

prepared to accept a mix of both• Some must be hand-drawn, however

rough• You may also want to sketch ideas for

logos, images etc.
