-the proposal
The project undertaken entails creating an informative website on how to construct a self-promoting flash based website for college students; it must include the key elements for a successful portfolio website.
-the research
Before I started making the website I looked at a few tutorial websites to get more of an idea for what i wanted the website to look like. Most of the ones i came across were HTML based sites with a mixture of text and images going down the page. There were others that had more structure and were broken up into different sections making it easier to follow. A few of the websites i looked at are below.
-the ideas + designs
After doing some research i started making some wireframe designs to get an idea of the layout of the website. The first few i made were for a HTML website but then started to think about some flash too. I wanted the layout to be simplistic and easy to follow so i used the ideas of sections from one of the website i looked at in my research. With the flash ones i could be more creative so i decided to put the navigation at the top for one the wireframes to make it look like a tabbed folder with different sections. The other had the navigation down the side sticking to a more conventional look.
