Branding Contributions

Overview

After we as a year group had decided on the theme of simplicity for the brand of 'Transmedia 2018', I then undertook some visual research to assist myself in my branding contributions. After this, I then produced a colour palette based on research undertaken on colours. The blue represented high-tech, the orange reflected creativity, the black portrayed power and the white related to simplicity. I created a mindmap to help myself understand simplicity and once this was finished, initial logo ideas as well as my final designs were produced.

Undertaking Research Regarding the Theme of Simplicity

Wireframes for the Website

Desktop Wireframes

Overview

With regards to my work for the actual website, I first of all undertook critical analysis on the previous website to analyse what was and wasn't effective and how we could have improved with our website for the current year. This can be viewed in my portfolio document located at the bottom of this semester section. After the critical anlaysis, several wireframes for the desktop version of the website were produced, all of which are evident below.

Mobile Wireframes

Overview

I also produced some wireframes for the appearance of the website on mobile devices, based on chosen designs by the group.

Colour Combinations for the Website

Overview

To help myself and the group visualise which colours could have been the most successful for the website, I trialled different colour combinations on a prototype of a web page I had created. These were based on the colour palette provided at that current stage in the project. To view the code for this, click on the link provided below.

Content Pages for the 'Transmedia 2018' Website

Overview

I was assigned the task of creating the content pages for the website, adding code into files which were created by other members of the website team. As can be seen below, I produced a structure for the about, contact, game and yearbook pages. This was then combined with the work of the others to produce a prototype. The code for this can be viewed via the link below.

The Result of the Semester

Overview

As a result of my contributions above, the other team members created an initial version of the website. However, unfortunately, I have not been able to include a link to the outcome at this stage. Despite this, snippets of the final website will be viewable in the 'Y2S2 PROCESSES' section on this page.

A more detailed process of this stage can be viewed through the document supplied below.

Proof Reading of the Website

Overview

Throughout this semester I didn't have many tasks with regards to the ongoing 'Transmedia' project. Although not previously stated, I was meant to be assisting with the website over the Christmas period but I soon realised that this had been completed when asking for what to contribute towards this. Therefore, the first task I undertook was to proof read the website, highlighting any spelling and grammar which needed to be corrected. This can be viewed below.

The snippets of the website can also be viewed below.

Providing Feedback where Possible

Overview

As well as proof reading the website, I also gave some advice to help. The first piece of advice related to an issue on one of the website pages with the images relating to the Masters students. The second piece related to the yearbook where I suggested adding in some more information about myself as I thought this would have been beneficial to have.
