The Last Blog and Talking About ZOOM!

Last but not least me and Grace have to get a zoom effect- Like Google map- on our doggy web site. Grace has been trying to come up with some ideas but none of them are really good enough. So we sat together and we had a look at other doggy websites and we found a few different ideas. We originally were going to have an image of different breeds of dogs and make people guess the different types of dogs. The public could zoom in on the image to make their decision. We both liked the idea but I think we agreed unanimously that there was a better idea out there! We found the right idea on Flicker.com. A man had posted a large collection of images of cute little doggies and they looked so cool in a big collage! I thought we could use it in our famous dogs section. We searched for many famous dogs such as Scooby doo, the Churchill dog and the likes to lassie. We put them in a big collage and then we put in some dogs that are unknown to the public- Well I mean dogs that aren’t famous. So basically we had a mixed collage of famous and not famous dogs and the people who looked at our site can zoom in and out and decide what dogs are famous! A very good idea that ties in with our whole web page!

Getting everythig put together!And loosing things..

Myself and Grace have been thinking about names for our page. We thought of obvious ones like “dogs” and “dogs are fun”, but we settled on “Love Your Dog”. We think that it states the obvious and people will know what they are getting. It really is an obvious title.. not over all original but it was one that was similar to others but not copying any other…as far as we could see. Grace researched some other websites to make sure that nobody had the same name as us or the same information all in one page! Success I think!
While I have been working on getting the buttons and slicing in order.. And boy it was hard! I only went and lost it then because I saved it as a html file! Gggrrrr….so I’ll have to do it all over again! Maybe Peter might help me find the file again. I am beginning to panic a little bit because we only have a few days to get everything ready to hand up. I’m sure we will get it done but it is a really hard assignment. I got loads of pictures of my doggies to put on our page, they are all so cute and I found it so hard to pick just a few! I found loads more on google images…Oh the cute little doggies! Grace is trying to find information in cruelty to animals she said she is finding it quite difficult! The whole project is really hard. There is so much in it and sometimes we don’t even know if we should be doing it!!! I liked the other assignments that we did for media authoring that we did but this one is proving to be really tough and sometimes I feel that we are working in the dark. There is a lot in it. Roll on when all assignments are done!
