Change in the future

*One last thought.

After consideration I think that the pages may have looked more balanced if the eye in the logo was placed in the middle between, 'blue eyed' and 'photography.'

Small errors within website demo.

These errors will be rectified when possible.

• Splash page needs updating to the version with the bigger logo.
• Photo is not highlighted in thumbnail bar when the sub navigational bar pops down on the first page.
• In the pop up information box on the metallurgy gallery. Industry needs altering so it fits on one line.
• The biography on the information page has a small typing error.

Blue Eyed Photography

Last alteration

I have highlighted which photograph is selected on the thumbnail bar and the navigational bar so that the viewer knows where they are in the website.

Website pages

Splash Page

• Links to the 2 sister sites.

Live

Live

• I have addressed the issue of displaying photographs that are formatted differently. They imitate the carousel movement of the thumbnail bar going round. This means 2 portrait photographs are displayed at a time.

Live

• When a square photo is displayed a section of the next photograph is seen to the side.

Promo

• In this gallery there are not enough images for the need of the thumbnail bar arrows. I have greyed them out so it matches the other pages whilst letting the viewer know that they are not functional.

Books - Recorded...

• This page shows the sub navigational bar which comes down when you select 'books.' I have coloured this in a lighter grey and narrowed the breadth to show that it lower down in the sequence.

Books - Metallurgy

• For both of the book pages additional information is needed to explain what the projects were about. I put the information in a pop box so it wouldn't deter from the image displayed. I have used a translucent background for this reason.

Info

• I have put an image of myself on this page as people like to put a face to the work. This may make them more likely to contact you.

Further development of logo

I decided that the logo would be more suited to the page if it was placed in a box like the logo text is.

Stylised scripted eye - While I think this works on its own I do not think it suits the feel of the site.

This logo is much improved, however, the edges of the boxes that contain the letters have an uneven rough edge. I will recreate this effect so they match.

Final Logo

Design IV

I am very pleased with this development in the design, I think the large scale photograph is displayed effectively and overall the page has a clean and balanced look. 


I have altered the logo to run across the page so it makes more of an impact and also mirrors the thumbnail bar at the bottom of the page. 


I have layered the navigational bar over the photograph as it is designed so that it disappears when the cursor goes off it. Due to this I have used a translucent background so you can still see the photograph underneath. 


I have added my email onto the navigational bar as I think it is important for the viewer to be able to refer to it easily.

Flow chart - revised

After much consideration I decided that in order to show my versatility as a photographer and market my website to the relevant clientele I needed to create 2 sister sites, one including music photography and the other more general commercial photography.I will include a link to both pages on the splash page.


Revised Flow Chart.

Design III

I scaled everything down to test out the positioning that I would like on the website and how the navigation bar would look.

I think this version of the website is much improved. The image has much more impact. However I think the eye logo still needs to be altered, i think it would sit better if it was a vectorised and looked less hand-drawn.
