Blog9:Cmm461:Result From Presentation

I presented the website and it was too shallow lacking the essential pages and content needed to project the image I was looking for. My professors and I decide it was best to just stick to what I am interested in doing as a career. I have the passion for persuasion therefore my project is now directed towards me working on a commercial for a small town business like a restaurant or a nightclub.

I called 5 restaurants in the Hagerstown Maryland area and got spoke with two storeowners where one declined. 

I have 4 more businesses to call and set up a shoot before Thursday.

Blog 8: I'm starting over

I am throwing all my previous content out and collecting free non-copyright materials from creative commons. I thought by just cropping out the faces/heads of the modeling in the images would be acceptable but i wasn't so i am starting over. The site still looks the same. I have made new brand logo images. The brand logo is actually just the name it self. The name and definitions of the five world used to make up the name pretty much symbolizes our brand.

Searching for clothes on creative commons is harder than i thought. There are more pictures of people than pictures of clothing.


Still searching and find clothes, i can say i found about 20 pieces of clothes so far...

..still searching but our web site is already built and only needs content.

Blog7:Comm461:Capstone: Ordering Up hyperlinks

I still have more editing to do in Photoshop where I have to change the names of the clothes and cut the head of the models off and had it into the hyperlink in the web page. I have been creating and tweaking banners for the web site and creating new logos and word art for the department store name.  I am almost done with the over all layout of the site. This is a photo of how the site looks now after three face-lifts and social networks links added in. I have to create accounts for the social networking sites and activate them. Then I have to finish editing the clothing images and model images and add them to the site because this is not a real company that people can order from yet I do not need to make links to PayPal. Before I am done editing the images in Photoshop I need to also shoot a video of me modeling some clothes that I bought and add music to that clip and add it to the site. This is my most recent progression. 

Blog6:Comm461:Capstone: Progress

It's been about a week and some day and i have been working hands on building with webs.com.

Now that I have all my content (clothing and accessories for the website I am now working in Photoshop to crop and cut down on size. In Photoshop I have also started making the images more ascetically attractive for the website. For example I have been reducing the saturation to make the colors stand out more to give the images that HD quality feel.

The name of my department store was changing for a bit but now I have come to a final discision.

Final Discision:

Bi'enJacie  |  (BNJC)  | (Brillant,Natural,[Jaunty,Jazzy,Jinogistic],Charismatic)

First I stated off by using a make-believe name I created thanks to my quick-witted professor name Monica. The name was Tracys, and Stacys until I made the project a little more person by incorporating my own title that I created sometime ago in my later teenage life.

I've been working with reordering the hyperlinks to the correct online retail format. The webpage keeps on trashing because I am up loading lots of images at once. So I have been rebooting the website.

This week after I meet with my director Jason I will shoot clips of me modeling a few outfit for a intro video to the website.

Blog5: Comm461: Progression: Building a Web page

I have started using both yola and webs to create Stacy's Department Store website. However, the department store is not called Stacy's anymore. I changed the name to the name of my clothing line promotors, BNJC. Ben and Jerry Clique is an endorser and promotors of certain clothing brands.

I created BNJC in 2007 or so when I lived in New York experiencing the city life and the freedom of not having any supervision from parents or guardian. I chose the name Ben and Jerry Clique because the ice-cream company Ben and Jerry has multiple flavors and wide variety of taste. Likewise, I have a wide variety of clothing brands that I created over the time of my late high school years and my early college years which need a larger name to be under and supported by so BNJC was created.

BNJC's website will promote only clothing and accessories like:

• watches 
• jewelry

1. bracelets
2. rings
3. cufflinks 
4. earrings

• fragrances
• ties
• shoes
• belts
• perception glasses
• sunglasses
• baseball caps
• formal caps

What medium will BNJC's use to promoted its clothing brands:

Digital imagery

-photographs

  -black and white 

  -color

  -negative 

-videography

  -advertisement

  -music videos  

 

Blog 4:Comm461:Decision On How To Go About

I decided to not use Adobe's dreamweaver and create the site from stratch. I decided in the most time effiencent method of using a website creating website like Yola.

Now I am only designing the frame and background of the website without adding any contents yet, I have yet to edit contents to add to the site.
