Welcome

I'm a student and this blogg has been created to keep information on a daily to weekly basis about my project that i am doing to get my Bachelor of Information Technology. This is based on my progress, and a place to put all of my information, not entirely a proper blogg. Though sometimes i feel like i'll be talking to myself... Any ways, enjoy and feel free to comment. If your wondering what this project is and dont want to read every single post, just go to the Proposal link, or any of the "posts worth looking at" below.

1/4 Template Design pt. 2

Cont. from 1/4 Template Design pt. 1

Cont. 2/4 Template Design pt. 4

Other post was getting big. Here are a few layouts that i will consider, will be easier to know the exact layout before i start doing the proper design of template.

Layout One
This is a good layout, the only problem is that by having the main menu as well as a task bar next to eachother could leave very little room fo the the main content area. Mainly because the standard is to have your page around 800 pixels wide, vs having is very wide to add all of this in.




Layout Two
This one is my favourite, its logical and works well. However i'm not sure how users would react to having the tasks on the right hand side? This also brought up the issue of, when the user is selecting which jobs they want done, it doesnt seem to me, to make sense putting this on the right. Maybe i'm wierd... But my solution for that inparticular was to have a seperate form to let the user select the jobs.




Layout Three
Same as above except tasks are on the left.




Layout Four
Not sure about this one. The same as layout two, the only problem has to do with when theres a long list of jobs etc that you need to show. So for this one, it wouldnt be a good idea to make the tasks area a scroll down for jobs, so again it would have to be done in a seperate form. But if there are only small and simple tasks, this may not be too much of a bad idea, if the content wasnt pushed too far down the page.



OK, i am going to go with layout three. I feel more comfortable with the tasks being on the left side, and the main menu being on top, as this takes up the least amount of room.

K, so tonight i need to do some project management... that assignment for thursday, and also figure out the stuff we did in class. Then i really want to get ahead with the template design. If i cant think of anything, i'll carry on with the layout of the forms and figure out everything i need for that.
