Piracy Website - Mockup Two

Here is my Second Mock design for my piracy website:

I decided to add a few images relating to piracy in the footer of the webiste. I was hoping this helped relate the website more to the topic:

Piracy Website - Mockup One

Here is my first mock design for my piracy website. I am quite happy with the design, I think it needs a few tweaks and improvements for it to be 100% though. I like the dark and simple colour scheme, i think this fits in with the piracy topic well.

I will be uploading some more website mockups and also some Flash banner ideas soon.

Anti-Piracy Ads

Whilst researching piracy I came across these classics from a few years ago. I remember them always being at the start of DVD's and VHS's.

So annoying...

Simulated Client Project.

Last week we were set our first official project of the third and final year. This project is a simulated client project and will last 3 weeks.

Brief:

Produce a short multimedia piece that informs about or illustrates Digital Piracy

,

The problem:

I feel that there are too many people who aren't educated enough on piracy and don't actually know what it is and the laws regarding piracy. It has become common for all kinds of people to download copyrighted material from the Internet. Some don't realise that this is actually illegal and are shocked when they find out.

The solution:

To satisfy this design brief i am going to design and implement a simple 5 page website informing and educating the user on piracy. I didn't really want to take a stance and argue for each side as idon't feel it would be appropriate for this project. There will also be another part of my project. This will be a simple Flash banner. I will design this Flash banner to attract the attention of users on piracy websites. When clicked this banner would then link back to the main web page where the user can read about piracy and educate them self on the issue.

I will be posting up some wireframes and mock ups very shortly.

Ainsdale Health & Fitness complete and live!!!

Last week was the deadline for our Interactive Media group project. We completed the whole site on time and got out feedback from the client.

At first the client had a few changes/improvements that he wanted us to make. There was a list of around 8 changes that we successfully made. The client was then 100% happy with the finished site and set up some web hosting. This is my first project that i have done for a client and i am very happy with it! The finished website can be viewed here:

Ainsdale Health And Fitness nearing completion!

Well the Ainsdale Health And Fitness website is nearing completion so we are just waiting on a few bits of information before it all fits together and begins complete. The Staff page is still blank and we are awaiting the info for that, shouldn't take too long to implement though!

So here is the link to the finished website!!

Ainsdale Health & Fitness

Let me know what you think and it would be good if people could let me know if there are any bugs/problems with the site.

Favicon

I have created a simple favicon for the Ainsdale site. Well its a pretty pointless part of a website but I suppose it makes it look all pretty in the browser address bar and also if you want to bookmark the site.

Ainsdale Update

Well iv not posted on here for a while so thought it was about time!! Over the last week the group project had really progressed very well, we are now near completion. Dan and I have merged our two HTML/CSS file batches together to create the final layouts. We are quite pleased with how its come out, thanks to 6 hours of improvements and tweaks today.

I think the colours really suit the clients needs, I think the theme is lively, fun and energetic, just what a fitness and health centre should be. We immediately new we wanted the website to stay clean, fresh and simple. I think we have achieved this by using only a few colours and clean, straight lines.

The two photo galleries we implemented make use of the jQuery plug-in so that the site is viewable on most platforms and runs more reliably than similar options i.e. Adobe Flash. The two galleries remain simple, clear and easy to use.

We have added links to various social networking sites to help gain interest and attract visitors to the fitness centre. Facebook and Twitter have been our two targets, as these are the most widely used.

Here are some screen shots of how the website looks in its current state. We hope to get some client feedback over the next couple of days so we can make any improvements necessary. We are also waiting on some information for the 'Staff' page and also Twitter/Facebook widgets for the site.
