Lois Said: Here is the confimred navigation map for the website. A brief description of the content for each page is within each box/screen. The key shows the full name of content for other screens (eg PDF etc).
Anyone who would like to produce some blurb for each page feel free (some suggestions have already been put forward).
The Storyboard page is an initial layout - I have designed it for 15" screens (so we know most people will be able to view the site). Subsequent pages will scroll if needed.
The banner is currently a gif animation and has contact information for box office and creative learning in the white space - This is debatable as this is an Advertising banner and may not be the desired effect.
This being the case I have another banner which includes the Creative Learning Logo and is a still image.
I'm suggesting that each section (learning-richmond 110 - archive) has a designated colour (see V&A Musum of Chilhood site). I would make use of the colours in the versions of the creative learning logo - pink, blue, orange, grey. I would use pink, blue and orange for the three screens in the side-nav and use grey and purple/blue on the Main/Index page to link in with the Richmond logo (I would use lighter hues of each colour).
I think that the navigation map looks great. It seems to give a really comprehensive overview and it's heartening to see how all of the research/design/hard work will come together as a resource which is available even after the exhibition is over. Re the animated banner, I like it personally but I know that there can be issues for people with visual /cognitive impairment. I wonder if animation should be used only where it has a specific purpose rather than for effect?
ReplyDeleteGood point and is something to consider. You will have to tell me more ...
