I created the site itself in photoshop, drawing out the designs directly onto screen using a stylus. I got through the fireworks part of the site build fairly problem free but after importing to dreamweaver I began to have some problems. Mostly due to my own lack of knowledge on the program. But with a little help from my lecturers I managed to get all problems solved and the site working well.

Tha logo


SO I've got the logo done, here are examples of the logo in various colours on different backgrounds.

3 images for clothing








I've been looking at some sideshow performers to get inspiration for t shirt designs.

I also had a look at other t-shirt brands to get a style of images I would like to have on my clothing

So I've had a look at various carnival, circus, and sideshow related sites. Alot of them take imagery from the classic sideshows with banners, various fonts, colourful, etc.

I also had a look as some modern clothing websites, alot of them are sleek, dark coloured, very modern. I also looked at some alternative clothing sites, such as gothic ones, punk sites etc. The majority of these sites are very cluttered, alot of images, and just really messy and hard to navigate.

The brief i have been giving is the web design brief.
I'm to build a fashion based website with a minimum of 8 fully functional pages with NO dead links.
There are 5 company names that i that i could have chosen to expand upon.
Loop
Steel
Damage
Hoxton
Koln

My idea for a fashion site is an easily accessible clothing site for those interested in classic carnival and sideshow acts. The company also helps promote modern sideshows as well as charities.

I have chosen he company title as Damage.
