Development

My initial site with the changes. I have begun codding my site using the 960 grid system as a layout template, to help me keep all the elements inline.

Changes to initial web concept

Some changes to my initial web concept. I am going to try and us the space of the document 1024x768. For the tool bar I may change it to a dark grey, or something that will contrast the white and grey background of the site, this will also help with drop down menus. A search bar function for the forum page. For the games the media option will be removed, as there is already a dedicated section in the forum. Scrims will be linked to the forum, guides will be to separate pages (if I am given permission to use guides from other sites). More space along the top of the site, for a larger logo (similar to the original site) along with a tool bar along the top with a link to sign in via Facebook and/ or Twitter and a create account button.

Community site break-down

After breaking down which site would need/ could do with and without. I came to the decision that a redesign for AVT: Gaming would be a little more interesting for me to do, as well as having a bit more substance to the actual site. Although that may increase my workload a bit I think the final product will ultimately be better than, the Scottish community.
