Getting serious

So, now we are in the last days available, to work on our project. It  has been going slowly since the beggining, but now we have tightened up and doing our job very hard and with effort. At the moment, we are completing the main idea of the page, putting together the content, finishing the construction of the page design, writing synopsis, structuring the system of our project and our page. We all have our own job to do and we must finish it in time.

Here is a little look of our page at the moment:

Still a lot of work to do, so we are keeping our hands tied and doing our work with effort.
Basicly, our main idea is to make the page based on the polar bears swimming, becouse, mostly, what are the customers going to see are polar bears swimming. We are also going to include some few more animals, which are going to be in the Arctic Ring, but, as i said, we are based on the main thing - the polar bear, which is basicly swimming.
So, there is going to be information about how is it swimming, in which kind of poses, how fast can it swim, how deep can it swim, what kind of paws does it have, many other information, where customers can read about and get more interested into seeing the polar bears in real life and in action.

The main target group are going to be parrents from age 35 - 45 who have children from 7 - 12 years of age.
So the parrents will be able to find this information in our page, get more interested into going to The Arctic Ring and also teach their children a little bit about it and make them more interested into seeing the polar bears swimming.

We are also going to include a sub page called "Polar Bears", where there is going to be information about the polar bear (Useful facts) and also kind of like compare as how is life for polar bears in Zoo and in the Arctic.

Titas is mainly responsible for the Souvenirs sub-page, where there is going to be a chance to see and buy many souvenirs which are related to The Arctic Ring and Polar Bears, like snow globes, t-shirts, toys.....

There is also going to be a sub page "Visit Us", where the parrents (Customers) will be able to check the ticket prices for different sort of people with different kind of age. Also the visiting times are going to be included.

I think, that is all for now and me and the rest of the group are going back to work.

Building the web site

It's the 7th December and we are starting to build our web site. We have gathered many ideas, many facts. Basicly, the site is going to be about Copenhagen Zoo and also about polar bears swimming. F.e. - how long can they hold their breath underwater, how deep can they swim, in  which poses do they swim and so on. So it's going to be fun facts about polar bears swimming which is going to make the customers more interested.
We made a moodboard a week before and here it is:

2nd day - Moodboards and scetches

As the 2nd day started, we were determend to put everything in place. So we started going through the assignements and writing them down. As doing so, we gave each of us a task. Mine - Scetch of the home page, Līga - Inspirational moodboard, Aistė - Moodboard.
And that we did.
I don't have any photocamera with me, so i can't photograph the scetch, but i'll put in the inspirational moodboard, which Līga made.
I also made the Zoo logo a little bit more Icy.
Going back to work ....
