Forms and Wireframes(mod5)

So today was about playing around with adobe products and giving a little more effort in creating a site. We went over how to implement forms and designing wireframes. Forms are fun to create since it asks for user input, and if the user inputs a false statement you can show an alert box that says whatever you want. Wireframes require a lot more thought. It may be as simple as putting boxes on a web page, but organization does matter. Back when I took an information architecture class, one thing that they stressed so much was making sure the output is appealing to your audience and that content wasn’t just “thrown” into a web page. The purpose of a wireframe is to make sure certain sections of a web page are spaced out (meaning they don’t overlap) and that they are a guide to which goes where in the site. When I built mine, I was referring to the YouTube tutorial that was provided to us. In a simple page, the four sections: banner, navigation, content, and footer is all you need. But it is the way it is organized that differentiates websites from each other. A logo seems necessary if you want to go the extra mile.
