Creating a colour scheme for a room can transform it quickly and cheaply. It is important to consider factors like the amount of natural light a room receives and how colours can affect mood. Warm colours like red and yellow make small, dark rooms feel cozier while cool colours like blue and green are relaxing and make rooms feel more airy. When choosing colours, consider how they may look different in artificial light compared to natural light. Patterns can also be used to make optical illusions and change how a room appears. Texture adds visual interest and different textures like wood or brick feel warmer while shiny surfaces seem more sophisticated. Accessories should be updated to match a new colour scheme for a polished look.

The NorthernLife website targets people aged 30 and above who live in or want to visit northern England. The colors used are neutral whites, blacks and oranges to represent northern England generally without focusing on one specific region. Images on the homepage represent articles and draw attention to the featured piece, while their lack of bright colors suggest calm, relaxing content. The fonts, layout and content are simple and easy to read, targeting older audiences and encouraging readers to explore featured articles. Overall, the website effectively conveys its content and audience through design elements like color, images and fonts.
This document summarizes and compares the layout, typography, and design of 5 different informational documents: a vehicle manual, instruction guide, leaflet, dialog, and newspaper article. Some key findings are:
- Bold typography is used prominently in the manual and guide to draw attention to headings and main points. Diagrams also aid clarity.
- The guide emphasizes typography, clarity through diagrams, and uses a simple color scheme for ease of use.
- The leaflet uses solid colors and minimal images but could improve contrast between text and background colors.

The YHA website uses a calming color scheme with pastel shades and rounded edges to provide an upbeat feel. The typography clearly distinguishes headings, links, and body text. Navigation headings deploy drop-down menus on mouse hover, and the map changes color on mouseover of different states. The only animation is a simple fade transition between user-submitted photos on the right side of the page. Overall, the layout and design create a professional, easy-to-use user experience.
The document discusses four principles of design - balance, alignment, repetition, and contrast. It provides examples of how to apply each principle and the effects they can have on a design, such as creating order, emphasis, and visual interest. Symmetry, asymmetry, radial balance and uneven placement are discussed in the context of balance. Horizontal, vertical, edge and center alignment are covered. Consistency through repetition and contrast using size, value, color and type are also explained.
The client meeting minutes discussed two items. For the first item, the client was shown the finished product and approved of it, praising the camera angles and effects used. The project was deemed successful for meeting client needs. For the second item, the different editing steps were discussed with the client, including the various effects and tools used to piece footage together per the project diary.
The agenda is for a media studies team meeting on April 16th at 11:45 in room C03. Kyle Mckendrick will chair the meeting and show the client his end product video for approval. He will also discuss the different steps taken to produce the outcome of the video.
Kyle Mckendrick created a video to advertise a college course and gathered feedback through a questionnaire. Most respondents said the video successfully advertised the college as intended. Many liked the variety of camera angles used. Two suggested smoother panning movements. One would spread interviews throughout for more variation. Most felt interviews from current students were reassuring for prospective students. Overall, Kyle was happy with the positive feedback received.
The document is a 5 question survey asking for feedback on a college promotional video, inquiring about whether it successfully advertises the college, what was liked best about the video, if anything would be done differently, if a good variety of camera angles were used, and if the interviews provided enough opinions on the college/course.
Kyle Mckendrick created a log of tasks completed for a project analyzing and creating a storyboard for websites. The log documents analyzing websites on different dates, writing a proposal, and creating storyboards for homepage, accommodation, sightseeing, and contact pages. On the final date listed, another website analysis was started and finished.
Sydney offers a variety of hotel and rental accommodation options to suit any budget, from cheap hotels to luxury resorts.

- The deadline for completion is November 26th, and the creator will set mini-deadlines to track progress.
- Copyright, confidentiality, and avoiding offensive content will be ensured throughout the project.
1. Unit 65 – Assignment 2
Website one: YHA Australia
YHA Australia is a travelling website for people who want to backpack and travel around
Australia, it is relevant to my scenario as I am going to design a website which has the same
purpose. The website basically provides information about various hostels or camp sites
around different areas of Australia. The target audience for this site is both male and female,
aged around 18-25 years old, this is the most common age range as after college or
university a lot of students decide to take gap years in order to travel.
The visual style of the YHA website is
fairly bright and clean, especially the
home page, it is organised by boxes
filled text and an image. Having the
information situated in boxes keeps a
simple layout and with the boxes having
coloured backgrounds it allows them to
stand out from the background of the
page. The layout of the home page is
unique compared to the rest of the site,
as there is just a selection of different
boxes which are linked to different
pages. The most eye catching part of the
home page is the Hostels search box
which has an interactive map of Australia which is a good feature as it allows the user to
select the area they are visiting, it is a bit different compared to your usual site which just has
all the areas in a drop down menu, this is the main search engine on the site.
Throughout the other main pages on the site they maintain a consistent layout in order to
keep the pages tidy and so that nothing on the site looks out of place. It is important to keep
a consistency when designing a website as it wouldn’t look as professional if everything was

2. just organised randomly. Below are two examples of pages from the Australian Hotels
section:
Northern Territory: New South Wales:
Both pages are in the same category and they both use the same layout, with links and
search boxes down the left hand side, a middle column containing the various search results
and the main content of the page, then they have a small box on the right hand side of the
page containing links and advertisements to partner companies. This layout is kept
throughout the design of the site which makes every page nearly identical apart from the
purpose and the content being displayed.
Colour Palettes:
The site uses quite a bright colour palette for their
design, this colour palette involves baby blue,
orange, green and various light shades of brown for
the backgrounds of the page. The colours contrast
well together as they aren’t anything too bright, yet
they are bright enough to create a positive
atmosphere to the page. The colours used are
almost as if used to represent the colours which you
would encounter whilst travelling Australia, the
orange representing the sun, blue representing the
sky, green representing the grass and the
background shades of brown representing the
ground. Each colour has a role on the page, the orange is used for all the buttons and allows
them to stand out from the blue background, all of the side links and boxes situated down
the left hand and right hand side of the pages have a blue background in order to stand out
from the main content so the user doesn’t just ignore them.
However the home page contains six different boxes which all have a different background
colour inside the colour scheme which creates a nice bright home page to welcome the
users. It is also important to keep a consistency with the colour scheme as if I was to use
any random colours around the site it would become to look very random and
unprofessional. However even if I still used a colour scheme successfully but it was very

site as them colours don’t really represent a country which is very hot and sunny, they also
set a really dull atmosphere to the site which doesn’t really persuade the user to want to visit
Australia.
Typography:
The font used on the YHA website is very basic sans serif
typography. However using a basic font is always the best
idea when creating a website as it doesn’t look over the top
and it is very easy for the user to read. If I was to be using a
serif font then the words would be hard to read and the text
would look a little over the top on the site.
Sounds:
There is no sound on this site.
Animations:
On the home page there is an animated section that works as a
slide show consisting of five pages, each page contains an image,
text and a link to navigate to the specific page. Whilst the screen
transitions a fade in and fade out effect is used. The animation is
non linear as it does run automatically however the user can select
which page to look at by clicking on one of the buttons.
Interactivity:
There are various interactivity elements
throughout the site with the use of buttons and
drop down menus. Using a series of drop down
menus is a good idea as it saves space on the
page and looks professional compared to having a
panel full of links to pages taking up unnecessary
space. Another quite unique interactive element
on the site is the map of Australia on the home
page, it is broken up into sections of the different
parts of the country and when rolled over the name of the area appears, also when clicked
on it navigates to a page listing all the accommodation there.
Website two: Oz Intro
Oz Intro is a travelling website for people who want to work, backpack and travel around
Australia, it is relevant to my scenario as I am going to design a website which has the same
purpose. The website basically provides information about various hostels or camp sites
around different areas of Australia; also it provides information on any jobs available in the
different areas. The target audience for this site is both male and female, aged around 18-25
years old, this is the most common age range as after college or university a lot of students
decide to take gap years in order to travel.

4. The visual style of the Oz Intro website is fairly bright and clean, all of the pages look very
similar with a nice bright blue background with a waved effect to look like water. It is quite
simple due to the text just being positioned around the page and images inside a frame
made to look like a developed photograph. All of the pages have different layouts in terms of
where the information is displayed exactly; however they display the information identically
by using text scattered about around the page with a bold yellow/orange title and a little
collage of images. Every page uses this bright theme which sets a good positive mood for
the site and draws the attention of the audience.
Colour Palettes:
The site uses quite a bright colour palette for their design, this colour palette involves
different shades of blue for the background to create the look of water, and then they use an
orange/yellow gradient colour on the main titles of the pages with white main text. The
colours contrast well together as they aren’t anything too bright, yet they are bright enough
to create a positive atmosphere to the page. The colours used are almost as if used to

representing the sun, blue representing the sky and the water. Each colour has a role on the
pages, the orange/yellow is the main headers, the blue is the background and the main text
is white.
Typography:
The font used on the Oz Intro website is very basic sans serif typography. However using a
basic font is always the best idea when creating a website as it doesn’t look over the top and
it is very easy for the user to read. If I was to be using a serif font then the words would be
hard to read and the text would look a little over the top on the site.

Interactivity:
The website contains various buttons in order for the user to navigate around the site, the
main navigation section is at the top of the page to the right of the logo, and there is a series
of text buttons which link to other pages. The booking page contains various buttons which
the user can click on in order to actually book a trip to Australia.
