Week8 Outside of Class

This week outside of class we had to read an article about responsive design and how to design based on certain constraints. There were a lot of good points. I think one of the most important points was that  you need to always have the fact that different types of devices have different specifications. Iphones and android phones are very different and you need to design based on those specifications. If you don't the results could be catastrophic.

I called the campground to gather a little bit of information. She told me that the site is there to get people to travel to the Pennsylvania grand canyon and stay at Pettecote Junction. She said that the audience she wants for her site is an audience full of travelers, fishermen, and anyone who rides the bike trails. With that in mind I thought of adding some illustrations pertaining to these different activities.

I also created wireframes based on the information I got.  I want there to be a clear navigation with compelling images so that when a user comes to the sight they are enticed to visit this place. I also added a quote on top of the picture. I think travelers want to know about the experience and if there's a good review above the fold it will help draw the user to find out more information.

I also worked on creating a style tile. Since my site is a campground, I wanted to go with colors from nature but a little bit abstracted. I also picked textures that you would see in the woods.
