New Major Project Set.....

Well last week I had my next major project set for my Interactive Media module. The brief is as follows.

Brief: Artist/Arts Organisation Website
Design and build a artist / arts organisation website. A site which acts as a promotional website for an individual/organisation and which will increase both profile and online traffic for the client.
The choice of artist is wide and could include musician, craftsperson, writer etc etc. These must be real individuals either known to the designer or if not known then with sufficient background material available (on or offline) to make an effective ‘mock’ website (not historical or dead artists!). They can be real ‘live’ commissions if available.
Design, build and deploy a minimum 5 page website that includes at least
3 interactive FLASH pages*/banners/widgets of various sizes.(*you may construct in full page Flash however it will require alternative html/css pages for accessibility) you may deploy more if coherent within design. The site will also include a basic ‘diary/journal’ page in CSS/XHTML that populated by drawing on a mysql database using php. (this may be constructed within Flash if able).
Consider the data that your application needs to store and data that it needs to collect from a user. Consider the key operations that the application must perform. Use this to decide the database entities and their relationships. Create an ERD to document your database design (logical database design). Create the database using MySQL and populate it with dummy data.


Over the next couple of days I will be deciding on the client for my project so I can design my site and also plan what content I will include. This ties in well with Design Exercise 14 which was set today.
