Images!

For our website Myself and Lorraine wanted to include images and examples of what our companys product is like. So i took a look on google to see what I could find and I found some interesting images online. As we were doing our website on accessories I went looking at fashion galleries online. I came across an interesting one because it is a website that has various images created by different people. http://www.artshole.co.uk/arts/fashion.htm

I really liked the images on this website as the stood out and were related to what Myself and Lorraine based our website on.

The reason this website caught my eye was because there are so many galleries on it which are all created by different people. There is a wide variety of images all very different, some are more exotic than the others. By looking on this website it give us me an idea of the images Myself and Lorraine would like to include in our own website.

Animated GIF

For our webpage, Myself and Lorraine were interested in using an animated GIF for our "Lemma Raine" webpage. So I went and did some browsing on the internet and I came accross a website design page that I was interested in.

On this website in gives a good insight of how to approach creating an animated GIF. It give myself and Lorraine some good ideas for our webpage if we decided on using one in our final webpage. http://www.gofordesign.com/Web_Design_Class_14_Fashion.aspx

The website deign page I came accross was split up into different sections and it was the fashion part that was more suited towards our accesories webpage. It gives a various range and examples of animated Gifs. http://www.gofordesign.com/Web_Design_Class_14_Fashion.aspx

Accesories

For our assesement, Lorraine and I chose to do ours on accessories because we are both interested in it.
"Claire's Accesories" is the first webpage I decided to access. http://www.claires.com/ My first impression of the webpage was very impressive. The first thing that grabbed my attention was the young girl all dressed up with accesories to match. I was impressed to see that she was dressed in Autumn clothes which means the website is obviously updated on a regular basis.

In the middle of the webpage their is a clear circle with the with "claire's" written in the middle of the circle. Their are unusual designs branching out of the circle. It is very basic but it is definetly eye catching.

There are 4 buttons you can access. They consist of what place you want to access. This attacted attention and I liked this idea for our own webpage. It is easy to access and very up to date. You can get the latest fashion style by clickin the bottom right hand corner.

I thought this webpage was interesting and was closely associated with myself and Lorraines idea for our own webpage.

Lets Google It..

When we go onto google to research something it is common that we wil usually choose one of the first links because we think to ourselves "Oh this must be the better one Well thats what i want so Im going to click this one". Or if a person is looking for your site and they cannot find you because your link is on down a few pages, this puts the person at bother so therfore they may not wish to use it.

This puts forward the question "Should i pay google in order for my site or will i just settle with the organic way?". The organic way is when you put work into your webpage in order for it to be ranked high in the google listings without having to pay them. Paying is obviously the more convinient way for us but considering were now in a recession you may want to rethink. The way it works is you pay google acertain amount of money and every time someone clicks on your page from google they will place you on their first page. The question is "Is it worth the hassle?"

In my own opinion, If i had my own business and i wanted to have my page appearing first on google i probably would pay becuase it is so more convinient and a gauranteed price that i will appear on the first page so consumers will have no hassle finding me therfore no loosing out in the business.

Britney Spears

I think Britney Spears is jsut super. Shes been throught so much the last while and shes finally starting to get herself back on the rails.Between having two children and her ex Kevin Federline leaving her just on the spot she couldn't keep control of everything as she had media coming from every angle.

This girl has been in the limelight since she was only 16. Now she is only 27 with two children and been throught so much. We all were in shock when we seen the "New Britney" hit our tellys and papers everywhere. You know? The one who shaved her head? The one who didn't get to see her own children.

I felt sorry for her but now i think shes great for being able to get back on track and continue with her singing, respect due where its needed. Good for her!

They can be anything from a small family gathering to a street party. A nominated fund raiser at each party will accept donations from those attending.

Lorraine Dorgan, deputy chief executive of Age Action Ireland stated, "We need to celebrate the fact that we are living longer; that ageing is not a burden but an opportunity. I would like to encourage as many people as possible around the country to takr part in Positive Age Week."

Age Action Ireland is the national independant organisation on ageing and older people. Its main ain is to improve the quality of life of older people, especially those who are most disadvantaged and vulnerable, by enabling those who live full, independent and satisified lives for as long as they wish in their own homes.

X-Factor

Is anybody else really excited about next weeks semi final of the X Factor? Maybe its just because Im sick of watching boring day time telly while stuck on the couch so I cannoth wait for something good.

Im really hopin that Alexandre and Diana get throught even thought i think Diana maybe at a risk but I jus think Alex is fab! Her Britney song, Toxic on Saturday night was brillinat and she defenitly deserved to go through, I was delighted for her. As for wee Eoin, How cute is he with his wee northern accent. Im really happy hes gotten this far and it would be great to see him go throught to the semi finals, Him being Irish and all.

I have to say, I think Simon just gets better and better! Hes the only one who tells it like it is. Louis would jus sicken someone with his little boy antics but then again, Everyones different.

So heres hoping and the Best of Luck to them.
