UNIT 48 D2

Within my project I could have if I had more time could have been developed to further enhance the experience the user receives and by adding photos of members of staff to the staff page. By doing this I could have installed a sense of knowledge to the viewer and a sense of familiarity. I could have done this by taking photos of members of staff at their discretion and inserting it into the project, and then added effects to make a seamless transition.

During the course of making and publishing my project I was given 4 amendments to make to my project and these were:

1. Keep layout consistent rather than opening the navigation menu all over the pages

2. Put the logo you made on every page

3. One of the logos ‘jumps’ slightly, find some way of stopping this

4. Make the logo look less like it was just a re-skinned history channel logo 

First amendment was to keep a constant layout of my project. This was very beneficial as before my layout was different on every page and was generally confusing to a viewer and would have annoyed most and most of all it make the overall design appear unprofessional and shoddy. By keeping constant layout it makes the design look professional and keeps it simple to use and easy for I.T illiterate users to operate.

Second was the issue of the lack of the Kingswood logo on the lags of my project and the concern it only appeared once on the overall project. This would cause confusion if the project was mistaken by parents and could even be viewed as another school by those who have no knowledge of the school like many perspective parents do. To combat this I installed the commonly associated ‘Crown’ logo onto every slide in the corner of the newly modified common layout. By adding this it helps to develop the sense of professionalism I hope to achieve and it also helps to brand the project as related to the Kingswood school.

Next was a slight design error, as one of the ‘Crowns’ jumped slightly and enlarged, overall this was a minor oversight and one that damaged the professionalism the project is to install and is annoying when viewing the project in motion. To fix this all was needed was a simple resize of the faulty ‘Crown’ and a re-move to make it seamless. By doing this it has restored the professionalism the project has and also adds to the common design and keeps it all similar.

Lastly was the use of myself made logo and at first it was the History channel logo that was re-skinned, to my peers and to prospective parents would be seen as unprofessional and just a copy and paste making the school seem like it had low standards and would be seen as parents as inapproitate for their child to attend. So I took the logo back to the design phase and I added a different set of colours and re-designed certain features to give it a unique feel and one that could easily be associated with the History department. By doing this I increased the professional quality and the standard the project has and overall setting a good example of the school to potential parents and students.
