Ancillary 2 (TWO HYPERLINKED WEBPAGES) Production Update 7

I have now made changes to my second web page, based on the feedback I received. I looked at other web pages before deciding the best way to change this. In the first gap, I put a writers photo; this is a feature used by most web pages, another idea I had to fix this was to stretch the image to fit the gap, however, this would distort this image too much, making the web page look unprofessional. In the second gap, I decided to put in a selection of comments on the article as, once again, this was a common feature on other webpages.

I will get feedback in the next lesson, and make any changes if necessary.


Ancillary 2 (TWO HYPERLINKED WEBPAGES) Production Update 6

As I had finished the first draft of my web pages, I got feedback today.

There was no feedback of necessary changes, so the first of my two web pages is now completely finished. However, there was a couple of things that need changing on my second web page;
  • There was some issues with empty spaces that needed filling, such as the spaces shown in the images by a black box.

Ancillary 2 (TWO HYPERLINKED WEBPAGES) Production Update 5

I have now completed both of the web pages, this included making both web pages, as well as inserting links, and they are ready for feedback. However, I have to wait until Monday to get feedback on my ancillary task.

I am now on schedule as week ten is allocated for feedback and tweaking.


Ancillary 2 (TWO HYPERLINKED WEBPAGES) Production Update 4

I needed an advert to complete my web page, and to help out other class mates in their ancillary tasks, I used one of their adverts to fill the space.This is useful as it helps both of our groups out.


Week Summary: Week Nine

This week I have caught up massively and I am very nearly on schedule now.

So far, I have finished the first page of the website, and I will hopefully have the second page completed by the next lesson, which is on Monday, ready for feedback. This means I can spend the rest of the week taking in this feedback, and making any necessary changes.

I am currently behind schedule, slightly, but I am confident I will be back on schedule by next week.

Ancillary 2 (TWO HYPERLINKED WEBPAGES) Production Update 3

Today I finished the first web page, ready for feedback.I was told that the web page there was an empty space, next to the newspapers name at the top of the page. I filled this with another advert, similar to other newspaper websites. Also, the positioning of the adverts could be better, to look more professional. I have made these changes.

Ancillary 2 (TWO HYPERLINKED WEBPAGES) Production Update 2

There are a few issues that are slowing me down. Because the Adobe Muse software is in its Beta stage, the college will not allow me to download it onto the college computers. This means that I have had to download it onto my own personal laptop, and using the colleges wifi. However, the wifi in the college is extremely slow, which is slowing my progress. But, I still feel I will be finished in time.

Ancillary 2 (TWO HYPERLINKED WEBPAGES) Production Update 1

In today's lesson, I finally started work on the second ancillary, after completing research for it.

At first, it took a long time to get into the ancillary as the software I am using (Adobe Muse) is very new and so this is the first time I have used it. I had a look at video tutorials on You Tube to get myself accustomed to the software, and now I am getting on with the ancillary well.

This image is what I have done of the ancillary so far, and I am confident that it will be finished in time as I have the ability to complete this ancillary outside of class.
