GANNT CHART

 Creating a Gantt chart at the beginning of the project resulted in better time management for the individual sectors as it insured i didn't get distracted throughout as there were set deadlines. Software used outside of DreamWeaver to complete tasks included Photoshop and Illustrator.

WEBSITE ANALYSIS

Researching other websites before creating my own helped put me in the shoes of the client, noticing small details that either made the experience more difficult or more enjoyable. The minimalism in all three websites was something that I significantly enjoyed as user, finding the lack of bulky text more visually pleasing. I appreciated how a minimalist logo on the Feed website was positioned in the top left corner where it was out of the way but still easy to access.

SPECIFICATION

The website I'm creating will respect the wishes of the client as  focus on a cultural festival was recuperated greatly. I believe that one thing that numerous cultures have in common is their love and appreciation for music which coincidently is a well-known means of bringing various people together. By inviting a multitude of artists from different countries and genres we inspire various people from diverse backgrounds to come together. The website will include the necessary categories that the client wants the main focus on (location and Culture) as well as other section which will describe the project in detail a provide ticket information. The webpage should be regularly updated with new news regarding performers as well as ticket availability.

The first design focuses on the idea of presenting all vital information on the first page. It includes what the webpage is about, whats going to happened where to purchase tickets. The inclusion of a block paragraph of text breaks up the inclusion of images but provides beneficial information that will aide website users.

The second design was created with the idea of minimalism in mind. The sections of the website only divided by multiple vibrant pictures and a small menu. In order to keep in with the minimalistic aesthetic the pictures change into text when hovered over so that users aren't completely overly intimidated by the amount of text they are faced with.

The final design relies on a parallax themed website. The information being available through a scroll that's completely controlled by the users allows them to move at their own pace which will aide in creating a more positive experience for them.
