Annoyingly, thanks to Google's 'unique' ability to not let you un-do any mistakes. I've had to try and swtich all my accounts over to a seperate one.

Not overly interesting to anyone, but just incase you could do with doing the same, this link was really usefull: http://www.bloggertricks.com/2008/02/how-to-transfer-bloggerblogspot-blog.html

I have been aruging with myself over the last two days about weather my website is better being more dynamic (moving images etc), but risking the functionality and accessability, or having it less 'flashy' (excuse the pun), and have it work perfectly.

the non-flashy version im keeping on my main link (ref the previous post) @ http://www.edsonweb.co.uk/wollaton

the dynamic site ive got stored speratly @ http://edsonweb.co.uk/wollaton/withflash.html

please look at the link to see what my home page will look like as well as progress with the rest of the site.

Ok, so this is the final design i'm going to use for my project, the front page of the site will look pretty much exactly like this bar any minor details that may be changed later on.

It's more of a development/murger of two existing ones. Opinions please.

Comparison of all my designs. I think I prefer the top left. Opinions please.

Another fairly modern design to add to the possibilities.

Just a few alterations on my current favourite design:

I've developed both these designs quite a lot, at the moment i prefer the top version although unsure which to continue with.

but won't be developed any further...

Below are all original wireframes for my website project, based on Wollaton Park.

On our logo change task I decided to take a well known logo, with strong connotations, and try and force it in the opposite direction.

The JCB logo, originally has very strong links with the mechanical and physcial industries, as such also has strong suggestions of bulky, manly, masculine and strong appearance.

By changing the main hue to a pinky purple colour, the image is instantly given a more bubbly, fun-looking and feminine feel to the appearance.

Since starting this project I have finalised my decision to continue with the 'Wollaton Park' theme for my website.

I have created two different wire-frames and mock-up designs for the project, both of which I'm not entirely pleased with, however, the latter of the two I believe will have a larger impact of the aesthetics of the final product.

Design 2:

The second rough design is nowhere near finished (as you can tell), but I thought it would be worth the upload just to give an idea of where I am going with it.

I have not decided what Flash/JavaScript elements I will use yet, however, I have pretty much settled on the idea of using a JavaScript function to create the 'photo stream' on the front page.
