Rational

I've designed my site around the skateboarding community in wellington. I've made my site easy to interact with, with large, easy to follow icons and links. I wanted to make the site a place for skaters to go whenever its raining or they're bored if if they want to touch up their skills and organize events. There is a range of media including image libraries of tricks and spills images and a range of different people to meet with and converse on the 'your line' page. i should clarify, a 'line' in skater terms is a collection of tricks a skater does in a row without falling. The idea is to run a 'line' and make it clean yet awesome. The site allows skaters to sign up and interact with other skaters, sharing knowledge and experiences and improving the overall level of skating in Wellington. My target audience is any skater from age 10 to 30 and theres sections in the site that any skater can relate to.

oh right i have a digital workbook. so...

...yea. most of whats been goin on recently has just been excessive amounts of coding, no really new compositions or anything. so heres a couple of screenshots of what ive been up to in my shed of dreams.

Basically what iv got is some different elements of the site that are tailored for easy use. theres also some gags in there because its just a prototype and i like gags.

Some examples

So I was wandering around on the Internet sometime I a suddenly came across a clear basic grid layout I'd seen over and over again. One that draws your eye, not to the title of the page, but directly to the first big rectangle on the page. 

It looks a lot similar to the likes of this...

It has a main, enlarged article, secondary main articles and a list of whatever else on the side. Aswell as an easy to navigate menu bar. 

And on the First day...

Here we go, my first play with dreamweaver. Two pages that link to each other. The first page also has a link to google and facebook.
