Design Ideas

Here are the initial design ideas that the group have come up with for this project.

Sam: Would like to use intergrate horseshoes into the final design if it works


Will develop this hills idea which creates a simple and clean feel to the website
Stephen: We like the layout of this design especially the large buttons on the right with the images behind them.

The whole group liked this design as it developed that inial clean hills design, talking through what we would do to improve the design we said we would, abandon to large facebook box and replace it with a button that links to the facebook page, we would use the style of button seen in the above design. We will bring in a jquery info box at the bottom for us to put links to our own sites as web creaters for the site. We will have a news feed limited to 3 posts but then a button under to show all posts.
Daryl: The group really liked the background image used in this and we especially liked the buttons used for the downloadable forms. We also liked the horse shoe used on the navigation. We want to intergrate the horse shoe and the pencil icons that he had on his buttons. We also like his idea of having a few of the best images on the front page to act as a 'gallery teaser'.
Steven: Used the original logo in his designs, the group have still not decided on which logo will be used in the final design.

Although these two designs are very similar, the group decided that the second one was the better of the two as the spacing is better. We also decided to have a news feed on the home page instead of the about information as most users of the site will be members who will find the news posts more interesting on arrival to the site, if people going onto the site are not members they will only have to click one 'about' button to get the information that they need about the club. If we were to take this design we would change the green slightly - either try to make the green work or use an alternative colour.
