Project Definition

A website should always be friendly, easy to navigate and obvious. The more complex a site becomes, the harder this is to achieve. Consequently, I intend to provide almost every page with a common toolbar that will offer help, assistance, news and information. The implementation of this will either be as a frame or a banner but that need not concern whoever does this project.

Logical Design Specification

All that I require are 5 graphics. Please be aware though that when doing this project, you will need to produce some preliminary sketches for each graphic and then mail them to me. I may need to alter the sizes to fit the display frame I will be using.

  1. A metal riveted capital A structure. This may be an animated GIF with electricity circles surging up the outer legs of the A to meet and discharge as a ball at the apex of the A. Try to reflect the discharge against the metal of the structure as it passes towards the top. If possible the GIF should also be transparent; otherwise, place the A inside a granite box with a full border. The size of the graphic should be 80×80 pixels.
  2. A granite slab (a la Babylonian Productions (Babylon 5)) with rough edges and ends. This will hold the legend "Welcome to ..........", the name coming when we finally agree on one for the web site. The letters will seem carved into the stone. As a first stage, just produce the slab. If it's not too much trouble, centre "Welcome to Amiganopolis" within it. The graphic should be 200×30 pixels, a transparent GIF with at least a 2 pixel transparent border.
  3. A 3D blank button with plenty of space for a label. The graphic should be 30×30 pixels, a transparent GIF with at least a 2 pixel transparent border.
  4. One of the above buttons with a graphic suggesting "Site Map" (compass, signpost or similar symbol)
  5. One of the above buttons with a graphic suggesting "What's new"

Please note, light should always be assumed as coming from the north-east (top right of the screen). Also, make sure to use the smallest palette possible without sacrificing the quality or realism of the graphic. I have the facilities to take normal GIFs and turn them into transparent and animated GIFs if you can't - contact me if these are required before you start drawing.
