question 5 plan

Moodboard:

effective

• includes relevant photos that link to Garmz website e.g logo ideas, button ideas
• various photos of pages e.g the walking one design

ineffective

• Time consuming - will have too collect all visuals, may take up time

Site Map:

effective

• Gives a structural view of the website e.g the cat walk is linked to the home page as it is hyperlinked shown by it being connected

ineffective

• Not visually pleasing because of the lack of photos the team will not be able to visualise the home page e.g the layout of the buttons will not be clear for them
• Would need a visualisation diagram to back up the site map as that will use the minor information used in the site map into the diagram using pictures of e.g the clothing tab and the catwalk webpage

A moodboard is a effective planning tool for Garmz because it includes relevant photos that link to Garmz website, this letting the team know what certain parts of the website will look like. For example they can be photos of the cat walk and the colour it could be. Another effective feature of a moodboard is the various photos of webpages, this giving a clearer view of the web pages. For example photos of the webpage of the search results giving ideas of colours and layouts. However it would be ineffective as it is time consuming. For example the research time to find this photos will take a while as it would a intensive search eating into the production time.

A Site Map is not a effective planning tool because it is not visually pleasing as the lack of photos will not help the team visualise the certain webpages for example it will be hard for the team to visualise the certain buttons that will be used in the website. Another ineffective feature of a sitemap is the fact that the team would need a visualisation diagram to back up the points of the sitemap. For example the catwalk page will have to be drawn to back the minor annotations made in the sitemap. However an effective feature of a site map is that it gives a structural view of how the webpages will be linked. For example the home page will be linked to the catwalk page in Garmz website.
