The End...


Today is the last day of the module which means the deadline is today.


I've finally finished my website and all related to it. It is almost ready to hand in, I just need to print the blogger posts off and burn the CD. I pretty much enjoyed this unit because I like making websites and I think I'm pretty good in this. My website is fully interactive however it doesnt work properly on some browsers probably because each browser reads the code in a different way so the layers are in a different position that they should be. So I've prepared a version using tables instead of layers and it seems to be working on most browsers. If I had more time I'd probably make it even more interactive i.e. more rollover effects put some sound samples and add some effect to the background.


Overall I've been working really hard to make it as good as possible and I think I met expectations.

research- good myspace profile


During the last few weeks I've been looking for some interesting profiles but unfortunately I couldn't find anything which would attract and interest me. There is loads of myspace profiles but most of them have weird colours, or the content is unreadable or it simply isn't updated.

research- bad myspace profile

This is an example of a bad myspace profile. I really don't like the background which honestly looks so crap! The colours of the background and the website are awful, I mean maybe black and white works fine together but here it clashes our eyes so we don't want to look at it. Although there is a one thing which is good about the profile-its being updated quite a lot, there are lots of comments, few photos etc.

Website designing

During the last few weeks I’ve been working on a website for a music shop called wavy.com. I think that I have managed to make a pretty good website, but during the whole making process I’ve had some problems that I couldn’t solve i.e. the website only works properly in browser Firefox but it doesn’t in Internet Explorer or Opera, the content is re sized and squished and seriously it looks really bad, so take a look at the website using only Firefox . I'm very pleased with the final result but I think if I had a bit more time I would change some bits in it i.e. more interactive flash speakers etc.

research - bad website

This is an example of a website, which isn’t a good looking website. Basically, this site is completely too dark, maybe the text is clear to read but the whole page is like messed up and seriously I think it looks awful. The colours just don’t work together properly, it makes you feel bored and sleepy, and honestly it. Also Times New Roman is the ugliest font ever, but it has been used on the whole website, which isn’t a good idea. The only one thing I found pretty interesting is the logo on the top left corner, I like the composition of it the shield and the crossed swords reminds me of crusades, knights etc which I’m interested in. Generally I do not like this website at all.

research - good website

This website is a great example of skill and creativity of the people who made it. It’s been written in flash, technology using designs in motion. Very interesting thing about it is that every time when you launch the website it’s coming up with different colourful layout and design. However not all layouts are clear as the others, but generally the web designers have made the masterpiece of web and animation design.

It contains all what is needed in portfolio, so all their works, latest news, contact and a short note about the authors.

Actually the website is using as a portfolio which use the fish and chips as a symbol of their production. Also the websites works as a shop where we can buy t-shirts etc.
