Bestwood Client Project ~ Meeting #1!

Today was the first meeting of the group to discuss the plan of action with the project and I feel that it was successful and productive. We discussed initial ideas that we have thought about over night and looked at the existing website and any other information we could find to get some background on the mine itself. We then proceeded to create an initial plan of what we wished to achieve by Monday. After looking at some design trends and existing websites within the group meeting today we decided that the first thing we needed to achieve was market research. We would therefore each research 2 existing museum websites and 3 other websites with styles we feel are appropriate. From this research we can then develop 2 initial designs each and merge them together for a final idea within the next meeting. We will also research into typography to be used within the site looking at available fonts and how to access other fonts that may be available at a price. Therefore I will email a friend working in IT to see if he has any fonts within his company available for us to use.


Today we achieved a mood board of things related to the winding mine to help give us a background to the project and a feel of the theme. We included the Victorian newspaper image, as this is a theme we wish to pursue within the design.
