That's What Shane Said!

So this is the first project I was given at my internship with 352 Media Group.

Here’s the prompt I received from my Track Director.

First Assignment

So what are we designing? Let’s start off our first project by designing a website from an offline inspiration. Meaning, anything offline that inspires you….a texture, a magazine cover, a book, a rock. Use something about that thing in your design.

Examples from last semester:

· A grammar book that a journalism major liked. She created a website called gossip grammar. Some elements from the book cover were used in the design.
· Another student was inspired by a band and decided to design a website about them. She used colors that were representative of the band, photography that was provided by the band…etc.
· The door is open for creativity. Include photos from http://sxc.hu or istockphoto.com or even take your own.

Think about features that would be included in your site based off of features that are provided from the http://demo.352media.com site we looked at earlier.

Will there be a rotating slideshow area? What content should go in there? How will that content help your subject? What is the user supposed to do with that area? What do you even want the viewer to do when they land on the page?

What other features do you want to include? Ecommerce? Do they need a shopping cart? News & press? Events? You name it, you pick it. Keep in mind that we’ll want to critique these on Friday. So don’t get too far over your head with features.

I’d like to see a homepage design, and a simple page design.

I went with an MMA social networking site based around finding training partners. I present for critique tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed =o)

I’ve said it before, my bestie with testies, Bryan Lewis, is one sick mother fucker when it comes to web design. This is the planning and mock ups he did for a MMA based martial arts website.
