Voyage

Keeping a consistent layout, I created a wireframe and mockup for the Hangman Game, and Places to Visit Page:

Voyage

Today I researched into current sites aimed at children, and discovered the following:

(insert images here)

I then created a second wireframe and mock-up of the Home Page, followed by a wireframe and mock-up of the Games Page, as shown below:

Voyage

With the intention of using Adobe Illustrator to create cartoon images for my site, I have decided to aim the site at children aged between 10 and 15 years, and therefore will need to consider factors such as language, colour, ease of use, simplicity etc.

Below is a wireframe and mock-up of my initial thoughts for the Home Page:

After creating the mock-up, I have realised my initial thoughts appear to be plain, and the page isn't really appealing for young children. I have decided to create the page again, adding more colour and images.

Voyage

I created the image for my Home Page in Illustrator first, before creating the wireframe. The reason for this was to see if I had the skills to produce what I originally planned.

I then created the site structure, which displays how the pages will link together. I have decided to include navigation on every page, allowing the user to easily navigate round the site. 

Voyage Research

I have gathered the following images of taxis and New York buildings so I am able to copy off them in Adobe Illustrator:

Task: Design, build and deploy a minimum five page website that is validated to WC3 standards and includes at least three interactive Javascript routines that enhance the interactive experience.

At first I found it difficult to come up with an idea on Voyage, due to the fact I am used to having a more specific brief. However, having thought about it alot more recently, I have decided to base it on a past holiday in New York, possibly including pages on attractions, places to stay etc.

I have decided to use illustrator to create the majority of it - to provide the site with a cartoon effect.
My initial thoughts for the home page is to create well known New York buildings in Adobe Illustrator, and having an animated plane fly over them (with sound of course), all witn an 'Enter' button underneath.
