NED11 Second Assignment

Results back for first assignment - 80%. Tutor comments:
Hi Melissa, you could prolly have a go at doing a 1028 x 768 site these days. I wonder whether 800 wide will look a bit lonely on some widescreen monitors as that seems to be what's happening with many of my older sites. Excellent use of breadcrumb navigation. Clear and consistent navigation. Very nicely researched. Great work! Plus I really liked your layout.

Good point. I have a few strategies to address "skinny" content panels.. but with precise positioning on this site it might be a struggle.

Poor tutor was ill, and our results were delayed. Very kindly gave us an extra week to complete our next assignment, which is very good news for me! I've been able to tackle it at a more leisurely pace and incorporate a little more research.


From wireframe document to design prototype. The subject is fictional, and the choice of colours from a randomly chosen palette at Adobe's Kuler site. Sort of McDonald-ish?


It really is a rather old fashioned layout, next time will aim for something more Web 2.0-ish and make use of ae larger display size.

Hi Melissa,

Did you know that you can use some JavaScript expressions to control the width of the screen like the max-width in CSS, that works for IE6? It means that you can still create for 800x600, with a max width of say 1000 that has cross-browser support.

Email me if you'd like details...

Cheers,

Rhys
