I has moved back onto design, and went and scanned (painfully slowly) some of whats in my note book thingy.

Below is a drawing i did right at the start of the research stage, just to get a bigger picture of what i was going to do. Basically its showing that the user needs a list of jobs and these will be mapped out. The layout of this gives you an idea of what i want to do.

Just a messy version of brainstorming tasks needed to do. Also a small diagram, me starting the database already haha, but it shows the data that i think will be needed at this stage.

This is the basic template layout. Just the main title at the top of the page which never changes. The main menu down the side which never changes. Next to the main menu is another menu that has options for the particular part of the application the user has navigated to. In the middle is where the main content will go. I think i will have to design more than one layout though, keeping in mind the size limits of users screens.

While i was getting an idea of the tasks the users need to perform, i thought it would be good to create what they might look like. This way i can see easily what the users may do. This particular one is for jobs. In the side menu for jobs is the option to sort the jobs, and an option to add.

This is a better re-done version of above.

This is basically the same as the first picture, except messier... haha. This one has the directions at the bottom of the page, and the option to print as well as choose the starting position as home. I will have to think about how the user will input another starting location... this most likely will change from being a tick box, to a more complex menu.
