I have tried to access http://www.narnia.com/ but unfortunately i

was unable to view as i don't have flash installed on this specific computer. Now i cannot view this entire website because of it. Many people will come up with this dilemma, i should be wary of using large chunks of flash as it is obviously not accessible to all.

work arrangement

Arrangement that i hope is correct.

Comparing the two sites with each other, immediately you can see the difference in quality and effort. On the left is the news section of the bbc.co.uk website and is layed out in a far more user friendly way, It is constant throughout the site and the site must have over 500 pages, whereas, the website on the right only has the same repetitive annoying background constant throughout the site. The BBC website has a menu bar on the left for the primary resources and after you click it the secondary resources appear under the menu button you just clicked. The driving site has no navigation purposes and has way too much information on the home page and is trying to make everything stand out and grab your attention initially. The BBC website prioritises the information and gives you slightly larger writing for the headline to grab your attention and normally a picture to back it up with slightly smaller text to inform you and explain. The text the BBC uses is clearly visible on its softer background so ideal for people with visual impairments, whereas, the driving website has different colour, distorted and unclear

text that fails next to the BBC's constant approach.

BBC have a colour scheme that fits and is constant and compliments itslef, but not the driving website, oh no no no, this website has no colour scheme and is just text the creator has just placed on the site with no thought.

WILL FINISH LATER!

Bad website design interface.

This is a terrible choice of a website but a good one as well.

My first impressions of this site is not positive one. The thing that strikes me initially is the poor background and layout. The background is the same image that is probably about 100px x 100px but repeated throughout the homepage, It doesn't work very well as it draws your attention away from the text. The layout is poor because it doesn't look like a normal website which people would be used to as it doesn't really have a header on the page or incorporate a menu down the side or anywhere on the page and this website needs one! At the bottom of the page there is a series of links within text that make it unclear that there is links available for other pages. This will be difficult for somebody who is computer illiterate or colour blind as they would not understand that there are hyperlinks in the text to enable them to visit other pages of the website because it is unclear.

The graphics on this site are low quality and low res, these problems cause pixelation to the graphics not only causing the graphics to become nearly unreadable but also make the site look poor cheap. This is an advertising website to try and get people to come to their course but it doesn't appeal to me at all because of the cheap aesthetic quality and poor spelling and grammar, these simple mistakes make me thing that if the company don't take pride in their work why give them money? The spelling mistakes make the creator seem idiotic especially when

"No training system can ever make anyone perfect, BUT out program WILL improve any vehicle operators skills and confidence far beyond 10 %. We Guarantee it !!"

10% eh, that's not much to brag about!

The logo is also distorted and has been stretched considerably. The colour scheme also doesn't compliment each other. There are annoying scroll boxes with writing coming across which quite frankly look like 12 year old girls' piczo sites (a very professional look). Overall this site gives a very bad first impression and website are obviously supposed to give off good first impressions.

How many blogs would a blog writter write if a blog writter doesn't enjoy writnig blogs?

Blog off.

Today i have been writing a report about legal constraints in interactive media - sounds exciting i know but really it isn't, seriously, it really isn't exciting.

Random Acts

Acts that can affect a designer.

Obscene Publication.

• There is no guidlines e.g no actual written law, it is mainly opinionated by how many complaints are gained from the publication and if it falls into the obscene publications acts - "An Act to strengthen the law for preventing the publication for gain of obscene matter and the publication of things intended for the production of obscene matter."
• Obscene publication is for example - inapropriate imagery which can include images of death, brutal violence, gore, swearing etc.
• Punishment for breech can include being sued heavily which can result in bankruptcy and loss of everything if you are a ltd company.

Data Protection Act

• It is the law to keep personal data safe to anyone that handles such data.
• Info that is held is personal but you are allowed to know your own details that are held.
• Personal details can be anything from e-mail addresses to home addresses and passwords to bank details.
• Tax records are kept for years though so taxman can assess income etc.
• Very harsh fine and a prison sentance.

Computer Misuse Act.

• Illegally downloading software and using un liscenced products can result in being sued by the liscence holder.
• Hacking other peoples computers for details and personal information.
• Fine and a prison sentance.

Disibility Discrimination.

• If a website or any other type of interactive media output source is hard to read or if colours contradict each other or are too similair then people with a visually impared disibility are being discriminated against. If there are no subtitles to a tv show then that is discriminating against deaf people. If a placement of a poster or sign is too high that a person in a wheelchair can't see it clearly then that is discriminating against that person. Specially made keyboards have been produced so that people that may be disabled in the hand that can't use a mouse or a normal keyboard sufficently have an alternative which is not discriminating. A website may need an alternative for large text so that a dyslexic or partially blind person can see it sufficently.

Racial Discrimination

• A picture that promotes racism or if it offencive in any way will be classed as racial discrimination etc.

Interlectual Property

• Is about protecting your work in copyright or trademark. It takes effect as soon as you record a design in a tangible form it is automaticaly copyright to you. You are not allowed to copy someones work as it will be copyright to them or a video or image, it is only illegal if you use it for a gain, either in commercial, personal or for currency.
