Website!! Assessment 2

My website is all about the clash. Its heaps informative, it consists of 4 pages, 1 music video, 2 songs and a discography. It also has an RSS feed to my blog. As fare as the appearance goes I downloaded a sort of punk inspired font to use as the headings, and each page is similar in color and proportions to create nice unity. There is a home button on each page, a counter that didn't work and some links to various wikipedia pages. The four pages are

-Welcome

-Video

-Blog
-Joe Strummer

Completing this assessment has given me an understanding of basic website publishing and FTP. Considering my limited experience in website publishing using Iweb made the process much easier.

The Clash - Guns of Brixton

I really enjoy The Clash at the moment and this would have to be one of my favourite songs of theirs. This is a pretty good home made music video as there was never a video for it. Enjoy

To contrast well with the industrial design theme I have chosen to use a simple template, simple fonts and limiting the amount of colors for my blog to create a contemporary vibe.

Josh’s blog ‘Moody weather’

Wheel Chair Urinal

'Using the standard urinal by a wheelchair bound male can be quite a challenge. To make the experience more dignified, hygienic and comfortable, designer Fuming Wu has come up with the Movable Urinal. It is a detachable attachment that un-hinges and comes down to the seated position. Waste disposal and rinsing can be done easily, thanks to its clever plumbing design. I am sure many will agree!' yankodesign

The Movable Urinal is a 2011 IDEA Awards entry.
