On this project I have chosen to present my work in the form of a website.
WEBSITE
I have chosen the website option for the following reasons:
- It's easy to adapt, even at the last minute. If I had chosen to create a book, everything would be set in stone when I sent it off to the printers. I'd prefer to be able to make changes when ever I need to, even if it's the same day as the deadline.
- I want people to beleive Pleasure Park could be a real place, so by designing the website to look like the website for the actual park, not the show, I can hopefully achieve this.
- I feel I have more creative opportunity on a website. Wix has a very easy to use platform that pretty much allows you to create a website that looks, feels, and does whatever you like. I feel with a book I would've been more limited to what I could create. On a website I can add visual moving material which is important when I am focusing on the visual side of the project.
The first thing I did was look at what I needed to and was going to research and create for this unit. I then used this information to create my website pages, which are:
- Home page
- About page
- Episodes
- Cast
- Crew
- Broadcaster
- Branding
- Marketing
- Style
- Location
- Opening Titles
I have been updating these pages throughout the project, and below are examples of the final versions.
The entire website follows the themes, styles, colours, fonts, and graphics, that have been set out by the show's brand. Everything is on brand, and blends together well.
