//The colours for the second colour palette are more feminine colours such as two shades of pink, then the blue, green and brown. These colours are more cliche to women but don’t have the same connotations as the first colour palette does. Despite this point the layout of the colours aren’t in your face, they’re positioned in a subtle manner that works with the blue being the main accent colour.
//This is my second web page idea, unlike the first design, i used an actual image instead of an edited yoga pose, i feel this works better because there is no negative space. Instead of green i used blue because i felt it suited the picture better. However i feel as though the layout isn’t working, it feels more placed rather than correctly positioned. I’m also unhappy with the number at the bottom, again it just feels placed there rather than well thought out. However aside from the layout i am pleased with the idea so will continue with a similar theme but improve the general appearance of the website. The inspiration for this layout came from a photo (top image) i found on the internet as they use one main image then add their information over the top.
//I built my first web page based on an example that i found on the internet. I mirrored the layout because i felt that it works as a simple gym web page. I liked how they used small images to show what the gym has to offer. So i used this idea and put in a yoga pose, a woman on a treadmill and a cyclist to show that the gym offers cardio as well as toning exercises. I changed certain things such as instead of using a photo in the top centre, i used my own figure, however i feel that it works better as a photo as it reduces negative space. Everything else i built on mine was based on the internet image.
//The colour palette shows that i used 5 colours, those being two different shades of blue and two different shades of green, and then white. I also used grey but that isn’t shown on the palette. These colours work together because they show health, peace and then i think the blue brings in the idea of water and fitness. It’s a cool colour suggesting that the gym that is being advertised is cool and gets you fit. I think the shades of the colours also work as they’re not too vibrant that they’d look tacky but not too dull to make the advert seem boring or unappealing.
//This is my first draft of a webpage, I wanted to use yoga poses as it’s a feminine workout and is all about connecting with the earth and feeling relaxed so to give this vibe, i used green and grey to suggest peace, earth and health. I cartooned the yoga pose on Photoshop to make it tie in the Wii fit research, however i feel this doesn’t work as well because it still looks realistic and grainy. The way i have positioned it doesn’t make it obvious that it’s a yoga pose, it just looks as the person is sat there. The positives of this layout are: the colours work well together and the layout is effective through the use of boxes and animations of each activity. The negatives are that the website seems boring and not modern almost, there is a large amount of negative space that could be filled either through the use of colour or by adding something else. Finally the logo featured is the old one and is also just placed in the corner, i feel like it could be placed somewhere better to make it more creative and interesting to look at.
