Web Site mock-ups



Phew! my head is spinning right now - I've been concentrating intently on study since about 9 am this morning, only allowing for a half-hour break to quickly eat lunch. I am exhausted.



The reason I've been studying so hard? Well, my Web Site Design & Analysis Document is due next Friday, and I have planned out all the steps to getting it finished -


  • Work out amount of final content in the Web site (almost done)

  • Compile all my analysis research (kinda done)

  • Design flowcharts

  • Design typography

  • Design wireframes

  • Write analysis document

  • Write design document

Anyway, today when I was supposed to be working out how much content I'll have in my finished Web site (I need to work this out, because I have to include a flowchart in this assignment) instead of doing that, I was in Photoshop re-designing my page navigation mock-up : sometimes I need to make myself STOP on the design side of things, and START on the written/analysis assignment specs.. especially because for this unit it specifies that unless we do every single requirement, we receive a 0% mark.


Here are a few screenshots of how the site mock-up has evolved over the last week













The top 3 designs have been discarded, and the bottom three designs are all for various pages, I'm using the pink colour just to indicate where content placement will go. The colour scheme/typography hasn't been decided yet, and the drawings were quickly done by me. (again not, final)






And, on a side note, I won 5 bright, shiny gold medals on the weekend, for swimming at the South West Games :)

@ jn
Hi and thankyou for the comment :)
Web design has been a passion of mine for years, so I decided to study it. The last web page design you liked is fairly similar to my prototype. I'll try and stick up a screen shot in a few days time.
