8. The final step - feedback

This is the easy bit for you - you need to check your full folder is as good as it can be - make sure every page is numbered and has your name on as you teacher will need to record where you have given evidence of the Assessment Objectives - a reminder of them below:

Unit 01 Originate ideas in response to an interactive media design brief

(L/504/0729)  Assessment criteria (highlight):

AO1: Identify the requirements of a design brief and terminology in an interactive media environment 

AO2: Give egs of a range of ideas and solutions in the context of the interactive media design brief

AO3: Explain the development of ideas

AO4: Select ideas in response to feedback, external factors and evaluation of own work

AO5: Communicate chosen ideas effectively

AO6: Illustrate the flow of an interactive idea

AO7: Select media methods available for recording development of ideas

It would be a good idea for you to read the initial brief again and what your business wanted you to create (Blog post 1) and check every little detail.  Add a memo at the start of your file to tell us what you are submitting - set out like this:

MEMO

FROM: Your name here

TO: Steve or Nina

R.E.: My ideas for your interactive media product

Dear Steve / Nina,

Here are my plans for a website to promote your company.  

A few things I wanted to highlight (writing anything here that needs explaining)

I hope you are happy with my submission and look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Sign your name

And finally hand it to your teacher and you'll receive feedback soon:

7. Creating Your site

This is the hard bit - you now use all of your planning to create your site.  You have a few options of how to create it - see 1st slide.  You MUST use your plans to inform the final product - you can add improvements but what you produce must be based on your plans.

6. Gathering your images

You will have planned images for your website - some may be taken from the internet, some should be your own.  find and add a small copy of your image - analyse why you have chosen it as shown below - follow my examples.  Please read the important notes on the final slide about image quality etc.

5.Logo, Fonts, other features and house-style

Follow instructions given on each slide to produce:

• Your final logo design (if you haven't already) - save as a jpeg to use later on your site
• Decide on your fonts - show examples of range of fonts
• Design any other artwork required (e.g. special offers / banners) that may go on your site
• Draw rough drafts of each of your pages

NOTE:  I have drawn and scanned an example of a home page for Steve's Sporting Solutions and given my comments below - you should explain all of your plans in detail. 

4. Planning your website

Follow instructions below to draft plans of your website - use the examples to help you - please draw your responses as neatly as possible.

3.More research into logos

You now need to look at logos for companies like the one you have chosen - follow instructions on slides below:

Do this bit on paper by hand:

2.Researching what makes a good website

For this you will need to open a new document - I suggest using PowerPoint slides.

Follow instructions and examples given on copies of lesson PowerPoint slides made below:

NOTE: make sure you are searching for businesses like the one you are working with - nail salons or companies which offer sporting (party) packages for young people.

Finally - go back to the word doc you started with (1st blog post) and answer the following beneath the table you created:

Research into Design

I have looked at a number of websites to understand the conventions of how they are designed. From my research I would include the following on any website I designed:

Answer here - list or spider diagram

I then looked specifically at websites for businesses similar to the one you would want.

Answer the following (the more detail you give the higher you’ll get):

*  What features did you like / dislike on each sites?

*  Which site was best and why?

*  Which site was the least effective in your opinion?  How could it have been improved?

*  What do you now intend to produce: explain that you’ll do ... a home Page + pages for ...(state what)

*  Are there any constraints* to think about in creating your chosen asset?

*a constraint is a potential problem
