Draft Site Design - Magazine Layout:

Explore the draft template @ http://iiblogs.net/yplace/ and consider how you think we should use it to present our content.

To ascertain what content we have available - eg articles etc.. dont forget to refer to our:

• Student Article Listings
• Tools Research
• Website Character Artwork (to be published shortly)

When you have consider the options, put together a plan for our final website layout. You can work individually or small groups for this activity. You will need to present this work on a wiki page which is linked from your personal page and must include the following:

• A basic description of how you think the site should be layed out (which content goes where)
• An overview of the art and illustrations to be used on the site - identify a font and colour
• Consider the pitch presentations we did way back at the beginning of Semester2. Which ideas do you think should still be included in our final site
• Which social networking tools will we use and how should they be integrated into the site?

The final deadline for this work is: Wed 18 November 2009
