upgrade...

Last week got a small presentation on our website re-design project....with a guest lecturer Wai Khong came in to give us his opinion on the design and all.....so for me i got a few suggestion on how to improve on my design.....which is...

- really need a box as a background?....or try on replacing it with an F&N logo shape...
- background image too messy...tone down a bit...
- content design boring...too common...nothing special...wasted xp
- menu on the right side is not a good idea...not really practical way in designing a website arrangement...
- soda can colour too dirty...make it lighter....
- main page typo is good....but must telling something...not just show design...


Ok...and than based on that suggestion i came up with this layout...

For main page...



About history page....



About vision page...



Brands Coca-Cola page...



News latest events page...



Business vending page...



Business vending equipment models page..


*pop-up page

Contact location page...



That's it...the 8 re-design pages for F&N website......will start on HTML coding soon...
comments?.....

quickUpdate...

After a few rounds of critic sessions, I've come up with this layout as the home page...



Some of the change that i made from the previous version are: background colour more lighter and some other colour corrections, soda can design, company logo not hiding anymore (sir, really I'm not intended to hide it in the previous version... f(-__-"), main menu and sub menu move to above the fold with adding a little design on it to make it not look boring.....

Okay, that's it for now....will post another page as soon as possible...or some updates version....

Critic...or comments...anyone?.... 0.o

why's first colourful design... =D

Okay, i got a client...which is required me to re-design their current website...its about drink...yea its F&N Malaysia's website ^^....So before starting the design process i did some research about the competitors as you see in my previous blog and also their current website, list of products, and some other important stuff to look at...i found out this few key words: refreshing, energy, youth, lifestyle, colourful, fun, happy to start of with as my guide line....

Start of the design process with some sketches, roughly draft out the grid line and i come up with this final layout digital version...



Ok, that's not the final layout that i come up with until Mr.Chong commented on it...its too boxy, certain stuff dunno what they will do for the layout, no text, and the lack of concept behind....i admit that, because this is just the trail version, sir.. f(^^"...

So this is the first actual layout that i have...but still need to think about the tag line....hmmm...



Ahahahahhh...its so colourful! ^^...yea because that's one of the identity of this company....colourful....so, yea........................Actually its still not that colourful enough as what the first impression of the title of this post tell...

The colourful stuff based on the Coca-Cola's wave, representing the freshness it can bring to you and for the colour its the combination of the colour that you can found in their brands (Coca-Cola, F&N Fun Flavours, 100 Plus, Seasons, Fruit Tree)....the blank can represent the company, so all those brands (a.k.a colourful stuff) combine under one company, F&N Coca-Cola (M) Sdn Bhd. (a.k.a can)...And you may also noticed that the layout has a frame but suddenly on the left hand side the colourful stuff go out of the box...it actually did on purpose, which is...this products will give you more that what you expected from a beverage...it give you a "break free" kind of refreshing.......

double box.....

Not a very good overall website, because of the navigation...abit confusing at first time...but its using a nice typography arrangement....Its easy to read, and background also play an important role in leading our eyes to browse the page....

Screen shots example....



rata kiri...

This website for Studio Output is another example of a goo usage of typography...all the text are align to the left making it all looks constant....Beside that, they also highlight the important content or message, with the different size to the font and also the font weight...different colour...and or highlight it with some glow (for roll over fx)....making it clear with the hierarchy.....

Some example screen shots about the website....



For this page....white colour for the title and also header...blue for content..



Header still white, content orange....its because in different page level with the previous picture....and some glowing fx for the mouse roll over.......Hierarchy by using different font size....



Inside page (the real content...) even using different colour for the background...depends on the project itself.....

purely typography...

Website that only has text inside...purely typography.....This website - Matafuka - is an online portfolio for a design company...or someone?....to showcase their work online...more to the collection of link (port) to the work itself.....

This unique arrangement of text is really catch the eyes....because of the blank-pure-plain-white background...and took a large area some more...its kinda give some contrast to the content itself, which is only take a small part of the overall layout...

Some few screen shot showing the example of the website....



After the click, it will show the submenu...



Click again...and you will get the detail and link to the actual work...
