Rettelser og andet

Jeg har i dag rettet punkter som folk har påpeget og som jeg selv har fundet relevant. Da der er først showcase på fredag, er det muligt at jeg vil lave flere rettelser og tilføje et par småting.

Hjemmeside v1

Efter feedback gik jeg i gang med siden.
Hvor jeg både fik prøvet kræfter med ” class” og ”map”
Oprindeligt havde jeg sat højden til billedet i topen til 314 pixels, men da banner og menu billedet fyldte en del, gjorde jeg billedet lidt lavere, og det endte med at det blev 297 pixels.

Efter blevet færdig med koden og grafikken, sendte jeg links og spørgeskema ud til nogle af mine familiemedlemmer og venner for useability test.
Indtil videre har jeg fået god feedback.
Hjemmesiden kan ses her: www.firemouse.dk

Tina (søster

Hvad tror du denne hjemmeside handler om?
Den handler om Louise F. Andersen og de præstationer hun har opnået inden for 3D animering og modellering.

Hvad vil den fortælle?
Den vil fortælle er Louise F. Andersen er super sej til sit fag 

Hvem tror du er afsenderen?
Louise F. Andersen 

Hvem tror du er målgruppen?
1) Hovedsageligt til virksomheder, privatpersoner der søger en person med din profil til at udføre et job eller en opgave.
2) Alle der interesserer sig for animation og modellering, og som kunne være interesseret i at komme i kontakt med dig


Er det nemt at navigerer rundt på siden?
Ja, meget let

Jeg blev dog lidt forvirret under showreel. Efter at din ”film” er færdig, er der mulighed for at klikke sig ind på forskellige links, der viser forskellige korte animerede film. Blev i tvivl, om det var noget du havde været med til at lave eller om det bare er noget, du har valgt at have på din hjemmeside, for at vise hvilke film/filmklip du synes om. (Det kan jo sige noget om dig, din sans for humor, og dine interesser på området).

Er der noget der bør ændres?
Måske lidt i teksten. Jeg er ikke ekspert i engelsk, men der er et par ting, som jeg tror er grammatisk forkerte.

Hvor mange klik skal du bruge for at finde kontakt info?
Tror det er to. Der er dog lige den ting, at jeg ikke har installeret outlook på min PC. Måske det er lidt unormalt  Men det gør, at jeg ikke kan finde dine kontaktinformationer. Jeg kan ikke finde din emailadresse, telefonnr….

Er det evt. noget du kan lave som en standard i bunden af hver side?
Hvad med en ”kontakt side”, hvor folk kan skrive direkte til dig uden de skal sende dig en email?

Hvor mange klik skal du bruge for at finde noget om mig?
Et klik.

Hvor mange klik skal du bruge for at finde mine tegninger?
To

Hvor mange klik skal du bruge for at finde min twitter?
Et

Hvor mange klik skal du bruge for at finde min showreel?
Et/To

Det første jeg tænker er "stranger", hvorfor er man det, når du til sidst i teksten skriver, at du håber, at man føler sig hjemme? Det er modstridende. Og "stranger" gør ikke at jeg føler mig velkommen fra starten af, fordi jeg straks stemples som fremmed.



Hvad tror du denne hjemmeside handler om?
Dine tegninger/designs

Hvad vil den fortælle?
Hvad du kan tilbyde

Hvem tror du er afsenderen?
Dig

Hvem tror du er målgruppen?
Alle der har brug for at få tegnet noget præcis til dem

Er det nemt at navigerer rundt på siden?
Ja, meget fint

Er der noget der bør ændres?
Back to Art under Drawings bør stå nederst på siden, så folk ikke klikker tilbage, før de har set tegningerne.
Hello and welcome stranger to http://www.facebook.com/l/0d51cXNClCzRWu6zYqgwDuiDz_w;Firemouse.dk kunne måske udskiftes kun med Welcome, for du bruger også hello under præsentation af dig selv.

Jeg tror hjemmesiden handler om dig og de ting du kan og har lavet.
Den vil fortælle om dine kompetencer.
Afsenderen er dig.
Målgruppen er folk som mangler en 3D animator og/eller tegner.
Ja, det er nemt og overskueligt at navigerer rundt.
Man kan bruge nul klik for at finde kontakt info, men fedt at du har det på alle sider.
Man skal bruge ét klik til at finde info om dig.
Man skal bruge 2 klik til at finde dine tegninger.
Et klik til twitter
Et klik til showreel.

Questions for the usability test:

What do you think this website is about?
It's an online portfolio for Louise F. Andersen.

What does it tell you?
That Louise does awesome art and 3D graphics, along with some facts about herself.

Who do you think is the sender
Louise F. Andersen.

Who do you think is the targeted audience?
Potential employers or commissioners.

Is it easy to navigate on the side?
Yes.

Is there something that should be change?
There aren't any major problems that I can see. It might be a good idea to make it a bit less busy-looking, particularly the background image, so that the content doesn't have to compete as much with the site design. Also, the page title should be more user and search-engine friendly, with a description of what the page contains. That's it as far as user-visible changes.

HTML-wise, the header graphic should probably use something other than an image map for the links (image slices, perhaps?). Also, the markup itself could stand to be more semantic, like using h1 instead of div class h1

Kayla fra USA ca 16 år:
What do you think this website is about?
Well from the front page I can see it’s about an artist portfolio. Without reading the stuff on the front page, I’d think it had something to do with a video game maybe.

What does it tell you?
That it’s an artist portfolio and a list of different ways of contact to said artist

Who do you think is the sender
… uh, not quite sure what it means by “sender” (sorry)

Who do you think is the targeted audience?
Anyone, at any age. Mainly any people interested in art, 3D, or graphic design

Is it easy to navigate on the side?
Absolutely

Is there something that should be change?
More art! (just kidding XD). Oh, but there are some English grammar problems, but I don’t think you’ll have to worry about them

How many clicks does it take to find contact info?
0 clicks

How many clicks does it take to find info about me?
1 click

How many clicks does it take to find my drawings?
OMG! 2 clicks

How many clicks does it take to find my Twitter profile?
1 click again

How many clicks does it take to find my showreel?

(I hope I got what you mean by “click” right )

I think you did great with the website It runs smoothly and the contact info is always just a scroll down away (I love that). The picture of Lou looks awesome too at the top (the header). Also your picture looks really professional, even though you are standing I don’t know where. The website also has that adventure, sci-fi, video game feel to it. Awesome job, I hope you put more art and animations up there

Jolande ca 40 år fra Holland:
What do you think this website is about? The website is about you and your work.



What does it tell you? It tells me that you are a creative person, who is developing different skills in artwork, especially animation work and graphic work, including webdesign.



Who do you think is the sender I suppose by this question you mean the maker of the site? That’s Louise F. Andersen from Copenhagen, Denmark!



Who do you think is the targeted audience? The targeted audience is the person or company that you want to show your work, e.g. to apply for a job or when you want to be hired for a project.



Is it easy to navigate on the side? Yes, it is very easy to navigate on your site.



Is there something that should be change? Well, here are some honest remarks I’d like to make. I tried to look at your site through the eyes of an “employer”, which is, I think what you’d like to hear.

- Check your texts for little mistakes! On your “Home”-page for example you write “carrier” and I think you mean “career”. On the “About me”-page, first paragraph, 2nd sentence, you write “I lives”. Then in the 4th paragraph, 1st sentence, you write “..I since childhood has admired…”. On the “Art”-page: “3D Graphic Comming soon”. And some more through the pages. I hope you don’t think I’m nagging about this but in my webdesign course I was taught to read my texts carefully before publishing them, as you want the site to be your “business card” so the contents as well as the language used should be close to perfect.

- If I were you I would not put the plushies in the Art-section. If you want to use the site as your portfolio to get a job or a project, I just don’t think the plushies - though very cute! - are “professional” enough. However the laptop-sticker and the cake decoration show the diversity of what you can do with graphic work and how you can apply it, as well as your creativity!



How many clicks does it take to find contact info? Just one, you have placed these links clearly on every page of your site.



How many clicks does it take to find info about me? Again just one!



How many clicks does it take to find my drawings? 2 clicks



How many clicks does it take to find my Twitter profile? I happened to scroll down on your homepage (always curious to find more!) and found it immediately J ! Perhaps you could program the “alt”-code on your Twitter-, Facebook-, etc icons like you did at the top of your page with “Home” and “About me” etc. for those less acquainted with the social media!



How many clicks does it take to find my showreel? Just one again!

Design feedback

Imens jeg lavede mockupen sendte jeg den gamle design udkast i farver til nogle af mine klasse kammerater. Generelt fik jeg den repond jeg ville havde.

Der blev dog påpeget at kortet i midten passede ikke ind, og det blev taget til efterretning.

Mette Marie skrev:

Der er et par ting der falder mig i øjnene. Det sørøverkort-agtige i midten forvirre mig lidt, måske kan det gøres mere science-fiction agtigt. Jeg kan godt lide de grønne, lilla og blå farver men den orange mus i headeren skiller jeg meget ud og farven på overskriften kunne måske også være en anden. Ellers synes jeg at du har en rigtig god ide og et godt koncept. :)

Mette Julie Nielsen skrev:

jeg kan nu godt lide det sørøver kort.. det minder mig om en bog.. eller noget i den stil.. den orange mus.. minder mig om ost.. ved ikke hvorfor.. men den skiller sig helt klart ud.

Mockup og hjemmeside design

Dernæst lavede jeg mockupen, og det endelige design udkast til hjemmesiden.

Inspirations Moodboard:

Inspirations Moodboard:

Efter skitsning, tog jeg det næste skridt i processen. Normalt laver man et inspirations moodboard lige efter havde fået moodboardet på plads, for at etablere stilen og farverne for hjemmesiden. Men jeg valgte i stedet for at lave en tegning specifik til hjemmesiden først, som skal tjene som hjemmesidens banner og menu

.

Først derefter lavede jeg inspirations moodboardet.

Jeg har valgt bevidst at freestyle en smule.

Første hjemmeside udkast:

Første hjemmeside udkast:

Efter den gode feedback, griflede jeg hurtigt et par skitser ned af min hjemmeside.

Jeg tog desuden den frihed at lave et par skitser til andre ting der kunne optræde på siden.

Moodboard

Moodboard:

Til mit moodboard fandt jeg billeder fra nettet kombineret med mine egne, formålet er at skabe den stemning jeg ønsker.

Mit færdige moodboard gav generelt det ønske

de feedback. Folk skrev blandt andet:

---

Søster Hulio:

Computerspil,

eventyr,

action,

magi,

dyster men spændende, kingdom heart stil,

det gode mod det onde,

---

Mor:

Magi

Eventyr

Et univers

Man bliver Nysgerrig, vil gerne vide mere.

Søster Tina:

Jeg er kommet frem til følgende stikord til dit moodboard:

Spænding,

eventyr,

heltemod,

magi,

kampsport.

Mette List (fra klassen):

Der er en masse fantasi, leg, eventyr og magi. Nok mest til børn og barnlige sjæle. Jeg tror at mange børn op til 12-13 år vil synes at det her er ret sejt og sjovt og gerne vil spille et computerspil der har denne her stemning. Det vil jeg i øvrigt også, hehe :)

---

Mette Julie Nielsen (Fra klasse):

Det virker som noget fantasy.. man får helt klart lyst til at spille noget wii eller playstation :P hehe

---

Kayla (Fra USA)

It gave me a feel fantasy, nature, and imagination along with adventure and battle. Also, it makes me think of heroes that explore the fantasy worlds, find hidden places and objects, and fight villains. Also there was a tinge of epicness

Design

Design:

Jeg har valgt at tage udgangspunkt i min ungdoms, fantasy bog jeg er i gang med at skrive. Jeg vil give den besøgende en følelse af at være i det samme miljø som min hoved karakter er i.

Mit mål er at gøre den besøgende nysgerrig med stemningsfulde billeder og bevarer vedkommendes interesse.

Stilen vil være ungt (teenager) cartoon fantasy med masser af farver.

Den færdige hjemmeside vil indeholde en del grafik og vil muligvis blive lidt tung, men som sagt så er min primære målgruppe er professionelle grafikere, så deres maskiner bør kunne klarer det.

Hjemmesiden vil indeholde 4 sider, og muligvis en intro side.

Titlerne for siderne vil være: ”Home”, “About Me”, “Art”, “Showreel”.

”Home” vil indeholde en kort beskrivelse om hjemmesiden.

”About Me”, vil være en side specifik om mig. Mit CV, andre informationer jeg finder relevant, og ting jeg gerne vil fortælle om mig selv.

”Art” Vil være et galleri med stille stående billeder. Det vil være alt fra mine tegninger, bamser til print på lagkager.

”Showreel” vil være en side der udelukkende vil indeholde min showreel, som er animationer jeg har lavet. (Hvis jeg kan få det til at virke, vil jeg lave at link til youtube, så folk kan se den i deres browser.)

Koncept:

Koncept:

Jeg har valgt at lave en personlig hjemmeside, som jeg vil bruge til at fremvise grafik og andre ting jeg har lavet.

Formålet med hjemmesiden er at promovere mig selv.

Min målgruppe er potentielle arbejdsgivere og venner/famile. Hjemmesiden vil derfor være på Engelsk.

Jeg vil bestræbe mig på at gøre hjemmesiden overskuelig og nem at navigere, så jeg ikke mister den potentielle arbejdsgiver´s interesse og muligheden for arbejde.
