What My Website Is About
The main feature of this website will be a scrolling homepage that uses 10 different photos to illustrate the timeline of the development of art and design. While educating the viewer on the time period and some key ideas within that art movement, the scrolling webpage will cover everything from traditional art to graphic design and architecture.
Additionally, I will update each of the ten works in a similar way while reflecting today's environment as seen in ads, contemporary graphics, and other media, etc. I'm going to try a variety of methods, including both contemporary and more conventional ones, to achieve this, including biro sketches, acrylic paints, watercolour and the addition of modern aspects through the use of online editing tools.
Here is the assignment brief, and on the right is a mind map where I have skimmed through and picked out the most important parts of the project to break it down for myself.
Defining the problem space
After reading and summarising the brief, I now know I need to create a problem statement, this will determine whether my website will be successful or not and whether it will tailor to my user's needs Using the four W's (Who, what, where, when) as a guide, I will approach the problem from a user's perspective. As a result, I can create a variety of scenarios depending on the needs of different types of users. This will help me ensure that my website has a higher chance of being a success.
