Blog Assignment #5

Hi All,

317

This week 317 will be posting their pre-critique designs for their band sites. The timeline is accelerated for this post, as I want your designs and comments up by the start of class on Thursday. I have made a category for you to put your posts in labeled “317 Pre-Crit Project 1 – DESIGN“. Make sure your JPEGs of each of your pages are up there along with a label for each page.

When you comment on another’s post, tell them what they did well in their design, what could be improved upon, and what you may find to be a roadblock in accessing content.

With all of the the hype the iPad 3 is starting to generate, I want you to do a little more research into what the iPad 3 rumors have been saying about the latest release. See what others have been saying, leaking about the features of the new iPad 3, which is rumored to be due at the end of March.

If you had the ability to be Apple’s next product genius, what would you propose that the iPad 4 do? “Think Different” on this one… maybe it has an ability to project? Maybe we can use gestures to navigate or interact without having to use the screen? Come up with a few ideas you’d like to see and write them up.

That’s All,
Devin

My Home Page So Far…

My page is handwriting style to it, something that I feel fits the singer-songwriter genre of music that I am going for. I used blue for much of the type to represent blue pen that is marker felt type. The Dharma Rebellion and Navigation type is a handwritten type called VTSK type I found on dafont.com.

I used black and white photos and tried to make them sort of polaroid like and I think it adds to the tone of the page better than color photos would have.

I am still trying to create a band logo and the octagon shape is a place holder for the moment. I still need to add some social media buttons and those also will be hand drawn style.

My navigation bar has two pieces of tape, but I wasn’t sure if I needed those there, because I am not sure what it is actually being taped to, my original idea was to have like one of those bulletin boards as a background, but I sort of like the light green as the background because it is subtle.

I’m not sure how the video player will work but I also wanted that to have a hand drawn look to it.

Any suggestions would be great.

Cheers!!

This is my design for my coffee shop so far. I tried to keep the page lay out very organized which is important for mobile websites. I think I have a good choice of type and color right now. Some of my pages need to be altered and re-structured. I also need to work on a logo. I like the one I have now but I think it needs an illustration.

High Octane Coffee

I want to do a mobile site for intense coffee. I feel like the crazy people who are all over phone stuff, keep synced and such are those who abuse coffee and burn the candle at both ends.

This prompted my idea for energy drink coffee. My site would feature personal consumer amounts of coffee featuring a matchmaker which would help the user find which coffee is best for them and avoid having to go through every coffee on the menu on a tiny screen and track down theĀ one they want. I also feature energy drink infused coffees.

Here are my designs:

Week #4: Project I Design Concept

For Project I, I use existing Donuts & Coffee shop because they still do not have mobile version of their website : J.Co Donuts. It is a premium brand of Donuts & Coffee from Indonesia. Their original website even still use full flash, so it can’t be opened on iPhone and not really fitted when viewed on Android based phone (I think -because I do not have both Android phone and iPhone).

I divide the contents of the website to 5 pages : Home, Donuts, Beverages, Go to J.Co, Contact. I am using a sticky navigation at the bottom for links to pages besides Home. For link to Home I am planning to make the logo at the top to work as link to Home page. Below are the design concepts:

The Coffee House EDITED

Not sure why the text on the fun page looks like that. Speaking of that page, I might change it to “music” instead. What do you all think?

Also, I’m not sure If I want to make the bottom nav sticky or not.

Is the text on the store page too small?

EDIT:

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Here’s what I changed so far:
