Kingswood Website

In consultation with the client have selected the folk style design as most in keeping with the centre's ethos. The design of the home page has been opened up by removing the boxes that served to constrict it - must keep an eye on that in future. Have begun to assemble this in Dreamweaver as a functioning page. I have fallen back on tables again as a positioning device and am not sure this is good practice any longer but have learnt a lot about the use of live type, images and background images in concert to produce overall design/function effect.


Have now progressed to bring the Kids' page more in line with that style. What you lose in terms of the hand-drawn edginess of the original, you win in terms of coherence and calm.

Have also worked up a specimen Teachers' page, a portal to various documentary information. To keep my Flash hand in, I've experimented with a little movie that could substitute for one of the static panels on this page.
Client is now keen to incorporate the feel of the design into an identity that stretches across points of public contact. As a result I have been experimenting with the logotype plus accompanying graphic as a means to realise this. Need to work up a variety of examples.
