Feedback On My Work From People In the Industry

After showing my work to people in the industry, I was able to gain helpful feedback which will enable me to improve my main task and two ancillary tasks.

Pete Carvell is Marlwood School's IT Technician, you can see a link to the school website that he was responsible for designing here. The improvements he suggested that would help my production are:
  • Images in the carousel need to be the same size
  • The edge of the page needs to be in line correctly
  • Darker colours of certain teams don't show up very well, therefore possibly scrap the different colours and add small specific team coloured basketball jerseys next to each team
  • The background picture contrasts too much from either side of the page, it is too dark on the right and too bright on the left
  • For the 'important dates' page the columns can be moved closer together to make it easier to line up which date equates to which event
  • Possibly increase the font size of the text on the 'important dates' page
  • Make the channel number 'channel 122' more visible and more clear on the page, possibly add it permanently to the top of the page by the name of the website and slogan
  • Make each box at the bottom of the homepage the same size and length and line them up together
Steve Richards is a graduate in Film Production Technology from Staffordshire University and was very helpful when analysing and making suggestions about my ident video. His suggestions included:
  • Make the shot landscape to fill the screen
  • Ass different cuts next to each other, an alternative way of filling space
  • Audio - use sounds of the ball dropping into the net, or the basketball trope of shoes squeaking on the gym floor
Tony Baxter is the Managing Director at Voodoo Designs. Here is a link to his company. Some of his suggestions included:
  • Make the header/title more bold and eye catching as this should be the first thing that catches the readers eye
  • Lose some text, it it too bunched up and is too close to the edge of the page
  • Add a drop shadow effect to the smaller picture as it is too blurred in with the background picture
