Receiving The Cell Crew Characters

This morning I received the Cell Crew characters. I am so pleased with them. They look virtually identical to the characters that I initially sketched up. I have also trailed these against the props, and they work well with regards to size, proportion and colour.

Tomorrow I am going to venture into town to have a look around the charity shops to see if there is anything quirky which I can incorporate into a photo shoot. I decided that each of the postcards I produce should have its own strap line based on the image. This should be comical and capture the essence of the photo shoot, whilst also being educational.

Last night I worked on the web portal of my report. I now have produced the front page of the web site, based on my analysis of different science-oriented web pages, such as MOSI, Mad Science, Manchester Science Festival, Edinburgh International Science Festival, The Times Cheltenham Science Festival, Brighton Science Festival and Newcastle Science Festival, amongst others.

I have print screened this home page and placed it within my report. I understand that I am allowed to go back and edit my web portal, for example, post the submission of the report, however this should be included to provide an indication of what sort of graphic style I am aiming towards.

I will leave this home page of the web portal, and continue working on other aspects, for example the game for the site. This will be my task for today. Once I have produced this game, I will take a screen print of this and incorporate that into the home page of the website. I should analyse the other websites to see if their themes and layouts run throughout the campaign or whether they adopt a different approach within. I should also consider amending the appearance of the portal depending on the target audience. However, I feel that the LSF home page is, at present, accessible for all ages.

In the next coming week I am to conduct my photoshoot. Once I have these photos I will start on the design of E-cards – or postcards online. I previously considered the production of printed-out postcards, however I then concluded that this would not be carbon-neutral.
