This my finished logo for my charity website. I chose to do the initials for Cancer Research United Kingdom because it would have been to big to write them out in full for a logo.

My task was to produce a campaign website for a charity. It had to include a video, logo, original photographs, written text, and an easy navigation bar. I decided to make a charity website based on Cancer Research as I have recently had an experience over looking someone close to me with this disease, so to express my feelings I have made this website to help other with their thoughts and feelings towards this stituation.
The target audience was mainly based for children as their may have difficulty expressing their feelings and understanding the situation around them. This then provides them with the information to understand the dilema of the situation and gives them contact details if they needed to talk to anyone about their problem or situation. Also it could have another target audience for adults as it also provides in depth information so they can thoroughly understand the information and gives people a chance for donations that are put towards local hospisies in their area.
My layout of my website is very simple, I have an easy but quite colourful navigation bar which is along the top of the site, my logo is in the top left-hand corner, both these things are found in a lot of websites, I’ve provided a clear and easy website for all ages to understand and look at.To help me with making my website I research some other charities websites and got some ideas of them, I also looked at the logos and how they we’re made, whether they we’re simple or quite hard logos to remember.Also I have learnt that it is definately important to research existing products (childrens charity websites) beforehand. Not only is this good for seeing what is effective, but also to get idea's for my own website. From this, I think if I had to do the project again I wouldn't use a scanned in drawing for my charity logo.By creating my website on WebPlus 10, I learnt how to create a navigation bar, by creating simple boxes and putting them together to create one rollover. Also by using the master page I was able to make sure the key features were going to appear on every page, i.e the logo, navigation bar, and donation number.
Going back to the preliminary task, this task I think has developed my knowledge more because it involved creating my own media product.
The preliminary task was useful for researching and getting a better understanding of the basic concept of website design. For example the Primary Research Task allowed me to analyze different primary school website and pick out the key features, which meant I was able to apply these to my own chairty website. The preliminary task also taught me about target audience, as looking at primary school websites meant there was a specific target audience to children and parents. Therefore this taught me that appealing to both children and adults is possible, with the mix of entertainment and useful information.
To distribute my website I will put it online and available on the internet site Google so that it is easy for my target population to view.
