Website proposal 2

I am building up a better idea of what I intend for my website to look like and how it's going to layout. I have decided to build the website to my own personal preference and not based on the already existing site hartnoll's guitars. So this is now my original website design, called Fennder, abit like Fender guitar company, except my last name is Fenn so this how it worked. Although I will still be using Hartnoll's and Vibes guitar sites as influences and to help me imagine how I want my site to look.
For the background I intend to use some sort of black or chrome look to it. I want to stick to dark colours, mostly black and white. I want to make the layout and tabs in a nice stylish order and not all over the place and in your face, and also simplistic but also stylish.
Hopefully, after gathering pictures for my site, I will hopefully use some for the website layout, maybe using some of the pictures for the background image.

Project Proposal

Different methods of capture:

•  Photography
•  Fonts

Hand drawing/painting

Tablet drawing

• Audio/s/fx and music

Scanning

Markmaking

Rubbings etc.

Image libraries

•  Sound libraries
•  Video recording
• Vector drawing
• Bitmap drawing
• Limited use of internet sources

Above are a list of methods of capture and I have bullet pointed the certain methods I will be using or consider using. For photography I shall be visiting a local music store and asking for permission to photograph their products for my work. I don't own a camera so I will be borrowing one from the college store. I will be hopefully taking photographs of as many of the products there as possible, any products I am unable to get photographs of, I will get from the internet. I hope to be able to record sounds for the products, I would like to be able to record what each guitar sounds like on a standard amp. I have made a few logos already, using illustrator(vector drawing) but I intend to experiment with a few more. With this site being a music store I hope to add some music to the site in some way

Wordle

Today we were introduced to an internet site called Wordle, which allows you to create typography styled work simply by typing in the words you want to see on it. After typing in the list of words you want to use, the site automatically generates a typography style of those words. Furthermore, you can edit the style, layout and font and position of the font and much more. We made use of this by firstly using words that relate to yourself, then lastly making one which is based on another in the class of our choice. I have given an example of one I made here. This was introduced to us because it is a vaild and convenient method of capture.
I am considering how I can use Wordle for my work as it is an interesting and attractive method.
