First few pages done

OK, since completing the layout last night I have started to move on a little with ideas for the first few pages I will show in my presentation;

Simple layout for the Female Fighter homepage

A website like this will have so much information that I wanted to keep the front age a simple as possible - rather than keeping it with no information on I decided a good feature would be for it to have a 'snapshot' screen that will go through the menu items one by one and all the top / most recent / relvant information will be displayed there;

The 'snapshot screen' on the homepage

This way the homepage stays simple but will still have snippets of information to entice viewrs further into the website

Examle of the changing information withing the snapshot screen

The above is an example of the latest news headline(s) flashing up

An example of what happens when 'Magazine' is selected on the menu

While the snapshot screen is doing its thing on the homepage, you are free to either click on the screen for more information or click on the menu to the right where further links will be offered (if there is not just a single page)

After the 'current issue' link has been selected and you are taken to the relevant page

On the current issue page you are shown a number of different things; you are given links to specific articles within the magazine that would be on the website (such as the interviews and tutorials) and also links to the fighter profile pages (shown by using their name as a link) There would also be options to buy and subscribe to the magazine.

Welcome to Female Fighter

This is a blog I am setting up as part of a project for my Graphic Design course.

The aim of this course is to come up with an internet based solution for a magazine concept I previously came up with for the first part of this course.

My concept is 'Female Fighter'; a fightsports magazine aimed primarily at women. I chose this theme as the subject is one that am heavily interested in, and as far as I am concerned there is a big gap in the market for this. The popularity of women fighters is growing worldwide; although (perhaps understandably) there are many who do not support it, or will 'entertain' the idea but not take it seriously.

My goal is to design a platform that promotes women in the fight scene seriously and offers fans of the sport the chance to learn and gather information. I hope this is what I manage to achieve!
