Mid Challenge Review

Basically we have been going through the old website and looking at what needs improving.

ORIGINAL WEBSITE PROBLEMS
disjointed
each page has a different style
problems with displaying in different browsers
text styling problems on the studio page
no dynamic content
no user login
no online community
Pablos artists can’t update their own pages
does not reflect the vibrant, creative atmosphere of the Pablos Studio

















































We have set up a wordpress site for them and they would like 2 main sites - one for Pablos Studios and one for the ROAR! gallery. What we are going to do is have a template design for Pablos and have a slight variation for the ROAR! gallery, so it looks different but you can tell they are connected.

The pablos site will host information about the organisation, staff bios, contact details, artist bios, event calender for workshops and exhibitions, and possibly a forum.

The ROAR! gallery site will be a link off the main Pablos site and will host a selection of art work and an archive for all the artists who have exhibited there in the past.


GATHERING INFORMATION
























Here is our site map (sorry a bit messy!)
















DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

We have been working on ideas for the design of the site, making sure it reflects the vibrant, creative atmosphere of the studio. The studio walls are covered in colourful paintings and sketches and we wanted to show that on the website and make it inviting and fun.

Here are some ideas we had:



























































We like the idea of making the posts look like they have been stuck up on the wall like the art work in the studio.
