Option 3
Using our designs from option 1 and 2 we used our new found knowledge to come up with another layout without the influence of another website already on the internet. The design we came up with is a very graphical based layout with more pictures then the previous two and more main headlines for each category provided (News, sport news and Celebrity news).
We really like this design as it featured a simple layout at the top for the Header mast and a clever way of displaying the articles in the centre using 3 columns for each section, to separate each section from each over so all the articles aren’t simply placed randomly together. The advertisement displayed in the layout is along the bottom, 3 to follow the pattern of the above columns and one on the top of the page next to the logo.
However, we decided against this layout for a few key points that option 2 included that weren’t designed in this layout because there wasn’t enough space or because we thought it wasn’t required in the layout.
Firstly, this layout has no navigation bar. When we designed it we thought that the categorizes that the website offered where shown with a simple layout and where to clear to the user. However, a website still needs a simple and easy way of navigating the site. Secondly, it was missing a place for the slogan. Slogans are key to a website as they are one of the first things the viewer sees, which sticks in their memory so they turn to that particular website next time they go online to look for news. Since the design was missing these two basic factors we opted for option 2.
Maybe next time or when updating and improving the future website we will modify it to option 3 and keep in mind the important features that weren’t included.
