My Logo

This by far is the hardest thing to do if i could just get the logo right i could base my whole design around it. I have had a few ideas but I'm not too sure on the final one. This is really hard work but i want to get it right. Here is a couple of my ideas :)

Design Presentation The results are in.

As i predicted i have not impressed anyone with my idea ha ha. i will have to try my best to come up with a new design and I'm not sure i can i have tried my best but obviously that just isn't good enough :( So Christmas holidays are nearly here so I'm going to have to put a lot of work into everything. i have to get off my lazy arse and try and do something productive. so im going to keep people posted on my new ideas.

Design Presentation

The design presentations approaches and i finally have an idea after months of thinking i have found out the way i want to go with the design. But to be honest i dont think many people are going to like it :( i have had a couple more ideas but the are the same basic thing it just took me a while to get the colors i wanted I'm going to show you a few starting with the latest and hopefully
the final design.
This is basically the evolution of my design

My Research

Basically i have finished my research now and i have found out a couple of suprising things, Like for example people are completely happy with their social networking site which definitley is suprising because from my piont of view a couple of sites have a few issues, like bebo which has applications which are added to your profile this creates alot of unnessacry scrolling all in aid of finding out what tree you are. Also aother suprising thing is most people have over 150 friends and more suprising a high percentage keep in contact with them all. But on the other hand i found things which are helpful to me, like security i have found out that people access their social networking site from every computer they can possibly get there hands on which means that security is going to be a main issue. From the usabilty side i have decided which navigation and layout would be best to make the users journey threw the site more enjoyable and stress free

My Design Ideas

Here is a Couple of my designs these are nothing concrete just ideas :)

Inspiration Station

I would just like to post this so you know where my inspiration comes from these are just a couple of sites that i really like :)

i just like the way there is no side navigation only top navigation and i like the way everything is accompanied with a picture.




i like this because if the integration of drawings into real life. its where i got the idea for the crumpled paper.

And The Survey Says

Hello Everybody, i have started researching at the moment. Im currently looking at all the social networking sites i can come across and checking the current trends. I don't want to make something like the others I'm trying to make mine as unique and user friendly as possible. 

 

I have made out a survey at the moment and i might as well not have bothered no one is even attempting to do it. I don't know how family fortunes managed to get people to fill out a survey every bloody week. Actually i am lying one person has filled it out but of course it was one of my friends who proceeded to take the piss out of me, which i wouldn't care about usually but i told him it was serious. Anyway I'm just going on rambling so i will leave it here and leave you with a bit of advice never do a survey because no one in their right mind is going to fill it out BOOO!! To People.

p.s More detailed research coming soon

The Journey Begins

Hello all, Welcome to my FYP idea. Well my idea is a Social Networking Website for Charity Organisations. It differs from most social networking sites because instead of being revolved around the individulal user it is revolved around Groups.  

The Site will allow the following:

• Charity groups to organise Charity events online by notice boards and messages.
• Users in the group to interact with each other and make new friends.
• It will allow other charity groups to work together as a team to help raise more money.
•  It will also allow people in the charity to interact with the people they are raising the money for in the form of messaging and video blogs.
• It will allow users to have some fun by playing games, chatting with people uploading videos and pictures of the fundraising events.

So i hope you find my idea interesting :)
