So I tried the navigation in a different place. I still want to keep the images as a central part of the site, but pushing all the information to the left side is a more conventional take on navigation for the site.
More site updates
I shrank the bar with the navigation to be a little bit thinner based on the comments I got from the class last week. I think it does look better like this, not so chunky.
site updates
So I was just about to give up on the people that work at Muir Woods, but I called again today to see if I could get any images from past events and I actually got to talk to a ranger. Taking my own pictures of kids at a campfire was going to be pretty tough, so I'm glad I finally got ahold of someone. Unfortunately I didn't get the pictures in time to put them into my site for this week. But I have been linking the pages that I already had completed. I am just going to have to put the pedal to the medal to get all the technical stuff done this week.
DDS class 11.6.08
Last weeks class was productive. I think its cool how everyone's sites have come along and the designs all look really great. Now its time for the hard part, actually making all the ideas a reality. I'm still fine tuning a few things but I have a good grasp on the overall aesthetic. I've linked the splash page to the homepage and it seems to be working pretty well in the browsers. So I'm just working on fixing and finishing pages so I can link them all together.
DDS class 10.30.08
Thursdays class made me think a lot about how I'm going to create the mystical mood I was originally thinking about. I was getting a little bit worried about how to accomplish this and make the site really functional. I think that I was too focused on making it look like a website instead of thinking about the feeling I wanted the site to give the audience. Being more focused on the story and the magic of the event is what is going to help me create the mood I'm looking for.
