CSS Zen Garden

The use of CSS Zen Garden allowed me to better understand how much CSS influences HTML pages. I mainly played around and edited an existing CSS Style sheet for Zen garden. I kind of made a bit of a mess of it and in the end it looked a bit ugly. But i mainly edited the code to help me better understand what can be acheived by using CCS style sheets. This has helped me learn where i will use CSS style sheets within my own site.

ASSIGNMENT 2 - Development

Concept Development and Research

I begun with a mind map of all the things that came to my head when i though of paper. After that i went with a paper pop up/paper snow flake theme. So i started looking into images of theses and also into websites that i liked. I created a mood board of the images and sites that inspired me and how i would like my final web site to look like.

Mind Map

Mood Board

Colour Palette

After creating my 4 colour palettes i decided to go with a monochromatic colour scheme for my web site. I felt this would create the smoothest and cleanest looking site and stick with my over all concept.

Typography Studies

After researching four typographies, i felt that Helventica and Alien league would be best suited for my website. Helventica would be used for information within the site and Alien League would be used for the Logo and also links on the site

Logo Development

I chose this logo to go with my site because i feel that i keep with the over all clean and simplistic theme that i want for my site. I feel that this logo give a strong and professional look to JP paper.

Interactive Design

This shows the layout of my website and also how all the links will work, it shows how users can navigate around my web page.
