It has been said that when we are making design decisions to refer to the personas and their requirements and that you can get 80% of requirements from personas. This week I created the personas as per template using Xtensio; completed Balsamiq wireframes and Adobe Illustrator designs; finished the moodboards and the navigation map. I created summaries for the main articles which would be used in the mobile and tablet views. The main articles fill most of the desktop page, so I added a scroll bar on this sized browser for the user to view more information. For the advert’s, I selected 3 of these viewable across all browser sizes. Advert 1: a lotto icon. Purpose is that when a viewer sees this they would link it...

The deadline for the research and design of our project is due 11 th February 2017. The required deliverables are: moodboard, wireframe/prototype, navigation design, Photoshop/ Illustrator design. The css of these will be implemented in the following development project stage. I have been following the exercise files that accompany the Lynda.com tutorial. I find it a good way to understand and learn proactively about what’s being taught. I got most of the html and css to work out except for the display of images in the live preview. I asked my lecturer about this and he found that where in class we all label our images folder in the local route folder as ‘img.’ in the online tutorial the tutor names the file ‘imag...

From this lecture, I have read the link in lecture 1 slide 17 and looked at “Bootstrap” for CSS widgets. From our second lecture, I have read up on the provided link on Lynda.com called “Creating a Responsive Web Design.”
