Tea website

This was a quick website that I mocked up in about half an hour for the Tea brief. I had a look at a few other websites of major tea brands for inspiration before deciding to use tea stained paper as a background for the website and using a dark brown colour for the imagery. I wanted to keep it pretty simply and organic feeling and I think that the paper stained background really adds to this effect.

Tea Brief - Day Five

It took far longer to construct these than I first anticipated and I pretty much spent the whole day cutting these out and putting them together. The lack of glue did make it quite easy but cutting out all the tabs was a faff and I kept putting them together before realising I'd missed a slot or something and that just took up time. At least it's done now and I have fifteen lovingly constructed boxes. I managed to not mangle any of them too, which is definitely a bonus.

It took time cutting out all of the tags for the tea bags too as they were so small and finicky and kept sliding about under the ruler. It was a good job I printed so many of them because I did manage to mangle a fair amount of those.

Do avoid using glue even on the tea bag tags, I folded them in half and tied them together with string to the teabag.

Web banners

So I decided that since the Odeon has a popular website I would raise the coverage of the events held at the cinema by creating web banners that will be shown on the homepage of the website which, when clicked, will take the viewer to a page with more information and dates on it. There was a banner already on the Odeon website so I simply used the dimensions of that to create a banner for each of my events. The Harry Potter one is directly below.

This is that same banner being displayed on the Odeon website. The thing is because it's so small, you can't really see that it's something I designed, so I'm going to have a go at fading the rest of the site out merely for the purpose of seeing the bit that I designed better.

I made two versions of the web banner for the Hitch Hiker's event, but out of the two I much prefer the black one. The white one has too much white space and doesn't really work in this format like it did as a poster so the dark one it is.

The chosen banner evidenced on the Odeon site. Again, I'm going to try playing with the opacity a bit.

These are each of the banners on the website, but the rest of the site has had the opacity dropped to 50% so that the web banner stands out nicely on each page.
