Current Page Layout

Week 4:
Here's a current page layout of the website for Current SF. This is a wireframe of the site:

I will guide you through what will be on the website. On top is the branding and the logo on the banner. We decided to use a Golden Gate bridge and currents of the water part of the logo.

Ensuring Target Audience

Week 3:
Website name: CurrentSF / Current SF
Logo theme: SF bridge + current waves

I'm going to make more changes to the colors again. This week, I'm working on the colors of the layout. I'm also making the logo in Illustrator. I'm trying to make something that match the name of the website: CurrentSF. Choosing the colors is hard. I can't decide what to use and kept changing the colors. I'm trying to fit the logo onto a banner and testing it. Also, my group wanted some kind of big image on the bottom of the website in the footer. I will need to make a large illustration and make it look nice. I showed them my wireframe layout for the site. I'm also thinking of making graphics with gradients.

Art Director

Week 2
Changes:
In class, our group discussed the kind of website we are going to make. We thought of the topics and the pages for the website. We looked at other news and magazine websites to look for examples. We finally decided to narrow it down to find events about San Francisco. The website is community-based and events drawn from RSS Feed. We decided to make 2 stylesheets; one for web and another for iPhone application. We talked about the target audience as well. My contribution to the group project was showing my sketches of the layout. We discussed the colors for the site. We are going to have a calendar.


For my part of the role as Art Director, I will scan the sketches of the layout, choose color scheme, font styles, and create wireframe of how the layout might look.
