Target Audience

• As an 18 year old student, I aim to attract
  an audience of a similar age, between 15 and 21.
  Although it may still be appealing to a wider
  audience this specific age bracket is what I have
  targeted and has affected the overall design of
  my website.

3
Goals

• The main goals of my website have been to
  appeal to the target audience in a creative and
  interesting way.
• I aimed to express a number of my interests
  and tell others a little bit about me and what I
  enjoy doing.

4
Goals

• The content of the site has focussed on subjects
  that raise a fair degree of interest in the
  target audience and are commonly appreciated by
  many.
• I have tried to keep information brief to
  maintain interest and keep viewers moving through
  the site.
• I have also tried to use impressive images and
  clever use of colour to try and achieve this.

The pages

• Through out the entire website I have chosen to
  stick to a uniform image by keeping the
  background, body text and headings the same
  across all pages.
• However to individualise each page, I have added
  inline images, tables and table backgrounds.
• The links on each page are white and change to
  red when visited or hovered over and all headings
  are red while the text is white in most cases.

About me page 1

• I decided to keep the first page simple using a
  light blue table on the grey background.
• The first collum contained links to the other
  pages of my site. The second is dominated by a
  picture of myself. This gives the audience an
  idea of who the site is about and what I look
  like. The last collum contained a brief
  introduction about where I come from and what I
  am currently doing. This was used to give some
  background information about me.

8
About me (cont.)

• The font of the text used in the body was the
  standard Times New Roman but was coloured white
  to stand out on the light blue background.
• The Headings where both red to draw attention to
  them.
• The purpose of the simple layout and content of
  the page was to introduce the viewer to my site
  without overwhelming them with to much
  information, images and colour.

9
The Beach page 2

• This page is slightly more involved and uses a
  table within the main table to improve the layout
  of the page.
• This was used to place an image of a beach as the
  background of the inner table and text.
• The links are kept in the second collum of the
  main table, allowing them to stay separate and be
  easily located.

10
The Beach (cont.)

• By having the image of the beach as the
  background of the inner table, the viewer
  immediately recognises the content of the page
  and can then read on to find out how it relates
  to me.

11
Snowboarding page 3

• Here, I used three tables in total to allow for
  placement of the image of the snowboard and the
  background for the links.
• The images of the snow and snowboards immediately
  allude to snowboarding and create the desired
  image of the snow.
• The white text again stands out on the grey
  background and further adds to the image of the
  snow.

12
Music page 4

• I have chosen to use a table with a thin boarder
  to present a few of my favourite bands in an
  organised fashion.
• Rather than use images as backgrounds in these
  tables, I have used images of the CD covers and
  combined them with the name of the band as
  absolute links to their respective websites.
• The relative links are still kept separate on the
  right and are enclosed by horizontal rules.

13
Music (cont.)

• This page is again affective at capturing the
  attention of its target audience by use of the
  images of the CD albums as links. The bands
  featured are relatively popular within the target
  audience and bring a lot more interest to the
  site.

References page 5

• The main purpose of this page is to acknowledge
  the material that I have used and other sites
  that have assisted in the production of my web
  page.
• I kept this page very straight forward and
  designed it to simply serve the above purpose.
• I have also added a short conclusion at the
  bottom of the page and used an email link to
  provide the viewer with an opportunity to contact
  me.
