How do you Access News? First Artefact Presentation

Here are the slides for my presentation of my first artefact; a questionnaire which attempts to identify peoples general news consumption habits.

Initial Client Project Designs

I have completed a couple of initial designs for my client, SPS - just click on them to see the full size images.


In terms of the colour scheme, the client wanted the site to be recognisable and loosely in keeping with their brand colours. I therefore strongly implemented their green colour throughout the design but in order to maintain that propfessional, corporate feel, the primary colours I've used in both designs are whites/greys and blacks/dark greys.


This design has a tabbed box near the top of the page which will operate as a jQuery slider. I like the concept of this feature as it encourages user interactivity and allows me to include more information on the homepage without causing it to be too cluttered.

I like the two designs, but I believe the one I will be progressing with is the second design with the darker colour scheme. I think this design is more appropriate and has a lot more scope to fit in the vast amount of data I have to include.

SPP Update

The SPP deadline is fast approaching which includes the submission of:
  • Job Application Forms (if applicable)
  • Job Cover Letter
  • 4 Job Descriptions
  • CV
  • Post Grad Course App Forms (if applicable)
  • Post Grad Course Cover Letter
  • 4 Post Grad Course Descriptions
  • 1000 word rationale
  • Portfolio Website
In terms of the job application, I recently applied for a Web Designer position at a local Web Design agency in Nottingham, which was successful. So I am using the application I put together for that with some tweaks here and there to tidy it up a bit.

I've found 4 suitable post graduate courses but I haven't yet completed the cover letter and there are no application forms to complete.

I have also refined my CV which I had previously designed and compiled.

My new portfolio website was a very large project which I have been working on for months; it is now nearing completion and will be ready for submission shortly.

Finally, that leaves the 1000 word rationale which I still have left to do as well.

First Artefact

My last post (regarding my plans for the artefacts) appears to have turned out to be rather naive. The idea, which I misunderstood, is to investigate one area that seems the most interesting or that holds the most potential in terms of useful findings. Whereas the artefacts I had planned investigate many different aspects of my research topic.

Therefore, for my first artefact I am doing a questionnaire which I hope will provide context and an insight into the habits of todays news consumers. Then I can look at those results and decide which area would be best to look further into before planning my second artefact.

The questionnaire can be found here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WQ7FYBM
