26th January

Today we were introduced to iweb. This is a very basic application that we would be using to create our first draft online web sites. Using a blank white template we tried to imitate our hand drawn designs on to the computer as best as we can, making slight changes to improve our designs. Some parts had to change due to our lack of technological skills on the computers.

In todays lesson, we touched up on our photoshop skills trying to improve our knowledge on how to create different effects. we also used the lesson to catch up on any work that we had fallen behind on.


Here I designed a very basic possible idea for the logo for my school:

In todays lesson we completed our first web site draft. We then spoke about what did and didn't work on the site and how they could be improved. We then gave them to tom Hayward to scan them in to the computers and look as followed:

Today we made a rough design of our school web sites. We did this by hand on paper. This was so we could get it exactly how we wanted with out having to worry about technology holding us back. My school is to be called "Green Wood School". This was to get us practicing following theme colours, introducing photos and creating links to other pages.

19th-24th January

Today we created our surveys to give to the public. Questions in the survey will be taken into consideration when we come to designing are very own web site. The survey must be answered by people aged 17 - 70. At the start of the survey there is a short table to find out about the customer to help us understand our research and put it to good use.

Today we researched other school websites. This was to get an insight into other designs for our own. Once we gathered enough information and design stimulus' for our own design we began to generate ideas for what we would like our own site to look like.


Here are some other school sites:
