Style Sheets, mock ups and flat plans

Research and planning style sheets, mock ups and flat plans from lou80

This is the powerpoint which we used in the lesson last week. Please refer back to it for advice on how to complete your style sheet, mock-ups and flat plans.

Website of the week...

The aim of website of the week is to:

• Encourage independent research outside of the classroom
• Promote creativity
• Develop understanding of generic conventions
• Identify sources of inspiration! 

Your job is find a website which is topically linked to whatever we are doing each week. So, please do refer back to the work flow when you're making your decision on which website to choose.

Last week in the work flow part of the work you needed to start work on was:

1.    Complete mock-ups of magazine pages

2.       Produce a style sheet which reflects the brand identity / house style of the   magazine.

  I chose a website which was full of really useful design tips from layout to typography.

Here's the link:
