After creating a learning plan and technical specification for the Interactive Media project, I was now ready to start planning and design.
For weeks now, I have been milling over ideas for a logo for Weekend Wanderers. Do I use the tread as two W’s or the W’s as the hills and paths?. I decided to work up both ideas into vector and then into screen designs. I finally chose the two W’s idea of hills and paths because I felt that it might work better across different formats.
With a name already for the walking club established many years ago, I now had to see if it was available as a Domain. Following my investigations using WHOIS I found www.weekendwanderers.org.uk was available but www.weekendwanderers.co.uk wasn’t. Picking a host to upload the website might have been easy, if I didn’t have to consider MySQL and PHP, this meant that the hosting would cost more money.
After confirming the domain name with my parents we discussed the website in more detail especially how they would receive enquires from potential new walkers. The outcome of this discussion meant that they felt they wouldn’t have enough content for a page every month and would prefer just one page detailing the annual walking programme. They felt the contact form should appear on every page but would prefer to make space for a gallery page and have the contact form as a link. Although I didn’t want to discourage my parent’s suggestion of a photography gallery this was something I could add later, but felt having the contact page on some pages as a link was a great idea.
