Testing & Comparing My Website - 10/03/2016.

How does my website compare to my original designs? 

Originally this was the design that I had done on paper that I was going for as well as the design at the electronic version of it that I made on Illustrator.

Below is how the homepage ended out. In my opinion it is quite similar to how I planned it to be. The only minor difference is that the website text is above the trailer instead of underneath.

The banner is something which I had originally designed on paper as well, However it ended up

looking nothing like that when I made it. The one that I drew on paper had big yellow text in it with no empty space for anything else. I think the main reason I didn't end up making it like that was because I didn't like it taking the whole space or the colour scheme of it. The banner I went for had a gorgeous brownish colour to it with A coraline like font that I had downloaded from the internet.

The buttons ending up being the same as I had originally designed other then the fact I changed the
bright blue colour to a similar brown to match the banner and I decided to go for a creepy font that I downloaded from the internet instead of the Arial font I designed with.

How did my initial research help in the design of my website?

The first main thing that I did was include a trailer in the centre of the homepage, from my research people said that the trailer was the most important thing they were looking for on a movie website because of this I made sure it was one of the first things the visitor saw when going to my website. When I did my initial research I also found out that a lot of people wanted to read a short bit about the story or who was in the film. So in my website I made sure there that there was a page which a brief bit written about the story including some screenshots from the film.
