DP3 Update - The Dark Star Horses - Website

Done , Done Done, , all that stands in my way is that mobile site , got a meeting with Giselle on the matter , hopefully be done by Friday afternoon , Been getting really good feedback so far , With Shaun saying that he might put the site up live and Giselle saying i should start applying at companies such as NME  for work experience but personally I feel that it is too soon and that I would like to expand my knowledge first and put together a decent website , (which I will re-do over Easter). More to come.

DP3 Update - The Dark Star Horses - Website 90% done.

Sorry for the lack of posts , been bust trying to get this website sorted , but glad to say that the desktop website is done , pretty much , just waiting on content and pictures from Shaun but the main body of the website is done, the only thing which is giving me issues is mobilisation , I find it very annoying that we haven't been taught properly  on the subject when it is a big part of the brief  and we haven't had not ONE  hands on lesson on this , rather WordPress , now am not against learning WordPress but the fact the we had not one lesson on HOW to do mobilisation again really annoys me , I had to book a session with Giselle on Wednesday just to show how to do it, and that all we want really , someone to SHOW us and not just TELL us , am now worried that I might not meet the deadline in time in terms of the mobile site. I might have to ask for an extension , worked really hard on this site and am not about to allow this to set me back.

DP3 Update - Mock Welcome Page

DP3 Update - Final Logo?

DP3 Update- One page Scrolling coding , Completed + Concept Art



So after having to re-do the entire website , the basic HTML coding for the one page scrolling is done , although , the navigation bar disappears in IE , so I will have to speak to Giselle on that but all the basic coding is done (for the second time) , right now i am working on the Graphic and Design elements of the site , I had done a logo before Shaun did like it but he wanted the "DSH" part of logo cut out and just keep the text Dark Star Horses and also he felt that the "S" wasn't easily readable 

Shaun Wanted the "DSH" Part Of My Logo Cut Out 
I had also done some other logos, but again they were based on the DSH lettering and I also made the silly mistake of not reading the name of the website probably and thinking they were called "The Dark Horses" 

Original Logo 
Below is one of the backgrounds I am working on , since am now doing a one page scrolling I may have to change my approach and design one massive coherent background that  will be split up for the different sections of the site

Idea Scrapped


So the The website that i have been working solidly for a week has been scrapped after a conversions with Shaun and myself , i am now going to do a one page scrolling website , keeping it simple and clean , to be honest i think the site i was working on was becoming too blockly and information based. after doing some research i have decided to base my design on http://www.jeremymansfield.com/. which fits in the the dark horses theme and feel , i will design the backgrounds over the weekend and code the website throughout next week.
