Website Production

When creating our website pages we keep it to an similar layout of the News Guardians site, as we liked the fact it was basic but got all the information across it need to. Also as it was an local newspaper itself we could relate similar headlines and links. Even though we have kept with the basic layout of the News Guardians website,  we can tried to approach it in an different way by the way in which we have set our headlines and stories out. We have also decided to include an column down the right hand side that will included the weather forecast and adverts for local business and even adverts for our newspaper itself, which gives the reader the chance to contact the newspaper with their own stories. On the second page of the website we didn't need to come up with an plan as we decided we would keep everything the same on the pages apart from the main area were the news and headlines would go.
Draft:

When made the website itself, we have to create the layout an little bit as we found difficulties with the programme (Microsoft Expression Web 2). I found it difficult to use as it was new to myself and also to my partner, and was different to many other software's we have used in the past. Some of the problems that took it place was, inserting images rescaled or moved around the whole layout. Overall I feel the final piece looks similar to the way we wanted it to, although it took longer then we thought it would. In the future i feel if i have to create an other website, i would rather use an different software. We took screen shots of us while creating the website to show our regression throughout the product and also show how we had to insert all images and text into different boxes.

Final Design:



Throughout all out task we have tried to keep the same colour scheme and theme throughout. We find it easier to keep the same colour scheme on the newspaper and the website, but when it would to the poster we didn't really want to much colour in it so we only went with using blue in the poster. We also have kept the same front and title style throughout both the poster and the website, which help to link both of them together. With our research we find that original newspaper companies also link both their newspaper and website together.
