Logo

Recent update has been several examples of possible logo, as of yet to be decided to go with the site.

Colour Scheme

Using a colour scheme wheel, i used all the colours used in the Humber Mouth logo (Humber Bridge) and used a three colour scheme (Triad) and narrowed out too bright and to dark and i am still deciding from Blue, gold, grey and pastal. From the screen grabs present they all have good colour contrasts and the final colour is still to be decided. This however will not only be my decision as i will be showing them to several people to get there opinion also for the final colour scheme.

Banner is high and colourful with paper under a bird to identify pages from a book
Navigation in group along top 7 links
Every link apart from home page on navigation jumps to right

Venue layout ok with Google map pin points

Reflection:

The site with its colour scheme has an age group of 8-16, the fonts are so vast it is hard to enjoy taking in the content, with vast colours-fonts and advertisements to twitter you do wander what the site is about. The events page should categorised with events calendar, writer profiles and directions to make it more use friendly.

Banner shows no relevance to books apart from an arty side to it.
Nothing indicating on the stage who they are or what they are about
Flash imagery is where an introduction/tag line should be present
Navigation along top 9 links some drop down
Colour scheme gold/ cream/ black/white
Too many fonts

Wordpress

Reflection:
Too many fonts and sizes with too much info is off putting, colour scheme is ok, Images need cropping to compensate download speed, too many links in the text. In stead of content management they big up there site with too many thank you/ compliments, a separate page should be used for this as they are all over the shop, as if you need to be reminded

Reflection:

The site is hit and miss, seems to be colours everywhere and the layout with the narrowest of boarders makes it look empty and still work to do.

The site is has a very polka dot look and feel to it, colour scheme is wrong; navigation through out the site is a mess. Too much information and not visually appealing.
