Session 6 - Looking At Designs and Layout Ideas For The Mobile Website - 17/01/12

We started off the session discussing how we will bring our website to life.

- Type
- Colours
- Surfaces, etc

We looked through some styles with Everywhere to see what we may want our website to look like or to feature.

- Like the tattoo style images
- Like pink and blue colours
- Drawn elements instead of photographs?
- Don't want it to be too in your face/bright
- Like neon style lettering
- Like purple Nike illustration styles
- Like 3d shapes - bright colours - grey as a background emphasises the bright colours - blue and pink
- Bit simpler
- Purple and blue (cyan)
- Want a character to make it consistent
- Graffiti is a good direction - can work for headers, can draw you in, but not in the main body text
- Can't be to complicated
- Like drips coming from letters
- Purple and yellow
- Black is a bit sinister
- Like subtle ways of referencing objects
- Like neon writing - bit more simplified

Everywhere will put together ideas boards of all the things that we like during this week and show them to us in next weeks session. We are all excited to see these.

We discussed the features that we should have on the website that we haven't already featured.
- Tube map
- Google maps
- An animated speech bubble with 999 in it on each page
- Hospital finder by GPS using postcode/place name

Everywhere put together some layout ideas for us to look through and decide between for each page of our website. We chose which layouts that we preferred and worked individually to design a page each for our website.
