LO3: Justifying Interactivity Report

The interactivity elements I am planning to include are an image carousel with photos that I have taken and a video external links to maps.


I will include images that I have taken of the savoy, the cast and danum gallery alongside copyright free images from either wix or pexels. I will do this to allow the users of my website to see the places that my website is talking about and also to make my site more appealing for the users. I will edit the photos that I took on photoshop to make them look brighter by upping the saturation and changing the vibrance and I will also remove some blemishes and other things like a yellow fence in an image of the gallery and some rubbish from the fountain in the cast picture. I will also edit one of the pictures at cast to make it darker to make it seem like it was night. I will do this by lowering the vibrance, exposure and contrast.

















I added the interactive elements that I chose because the video shows the users what Doncaster is like, the images do the same whilst also making the website more appealing for my target audience and finally I added external links to maps and the websites of the companies so that people can look at their website to see in more detail what it is and also if that company requires a booking then they will have the website there rather than having to search for it themselves and then the maps so that they know where they need to go.
















To appeal to my target audience I needed to use bright colours. This is shown in my mood board and my visualisation diagram. Since my site is made for everyone I wanted to make it simple and easy to navigate. This can be seen in my wire frames and my site map.


In conclusion I will use all of these things in order to meet my users needs and make it appeal to them and be easy for them to use.

Optimising Photos

Image
  I optimised my images to make the file size smaller in order to make my website run faster and smoother. This helps the users since they won't have to wait too long for the website to load and can therefore access it quickly. Originally the file size was too large at 1.4 MB so I changed it from a PNG to a JPG. After I changed it to a JPG, it was still a bit to big at 483.9 KB so I decreased the quality to 75% while still ensuring that the quality was good enough for my website. I managed to finally get it down to 289.7 KB which was small enough to then put on my website. The original size of this image was 356.1 KB as it was originally a JPG which is pretty small but still a little too big to put on my website. I ended up decreasing the quality to 90%. I decreased the quality to 90% which allowed me to get the file size down to 275.6 KB which made it small enough without compromising the quality drastically. I created my logo on the procreate mobile app. I created it on multiple

LO4: User Acceptance Testing (Usability)

This is my usability testing. I asked Georgia to test my website and then I interviewed her in order to make sure that everything was working, that it was easy to navigate and that it was accessible.  L: What is your favourite aspect of my website and why?  G: My favourite aspect of your website is the overall house style along with the placement of your images. This is because I think it looks really professional and eye catching towards the users.  L: What was your least favourite aspect of my website and why? G: My least favourite aspect of your website was how there was no interactive videos on any page. This is because I would like to watch  something  that moves that showcases around Doncaster town.    L: Do you think that my website is suitable and appropriate for my intended target audience?  G: I  think  that your website is suitable and appropriate for your intended target audience because it appeals to all types of people such as the neutral yellow tones being used on some o
