Week 11-13 Blog Post

I have been reviewing my draft Stonefest pages and am finding very difficult to recreate my draft in dreamweaver with codes. It was much easier in illustratior to just put everything togther, but reconstructing the pages now for my site is not really working. Its actually quite fustrating.

For these past weeks I've been trying to start something but my background that I made, which can be seen in the draft imagaes are too diffucult to reconstruct in dreamweaver and when uploaded as a jpeg looks stretched and tacky and dosent go with my banner at all.

My banner is simple a chunck taken out of my ilustration with 'Stonefest' written across it. Now I see that the background and banner dont create a specfic look and/or feel when viewed, it just ooks really cluttered and messy. The problem might also be that they clash and there are too many colours next to each other that shouldn't be.

I showed my fixed up drafts (I fixed them after the feedback I recieved) to several friends and people I new to get some more feed back from the 'audience'. This is where i found out that the colours were not working with each other. The colours were also drowning out the text.

Therefore I changed the design, Simply a black bckground, my illustrated banner and an very light blue, alost white colour for the text.

I also changed my menu, making ita single tabled row across the top of each page ontop of the banner. The page just looked neater that way and there was a 'comfortable' amount of space on each page.

I therefore have 6 pages
  • main page
  • welcome
  • tickets
  • artists
  • history
  • contact us

My main page is the my full illustration which is linked to the welcome page. I have linked every page to each other through the menu and will include some hyperlinks.
