There are different ways to make the menu on your website appear appealing to the readers. As a group we have discussed what sort of menu we are after. We need it to speak loud to the audience, flow perfectly and have many choices to pick from but at the same time avoid cluttering.
- Speak Loud: We want the menu to be bold in a subtle way. The layout of our website would properly be a very simple background however we want the name of our website (OddForm) to stand out by creating a statement. We don't want the menu and the name of our website (logo) clash with each other. The menu needs to be on the top of the web page and below the logo.
- Go with the Flow: The menu needs to flow. What we mean by 'flow' is that we want the menu to become interactive in a way, flows perfectly and does not glitch. We want the menu to drop down a sub-menu for the audience to pick and choose what sort of category they are going for.
- Choices to Pick From: We have five categories we want to put onto our menu, those are; About Odd Form, Fashion, Beauty, Extras and Shop. We still have to discuss the sub-categories for the menu that will break it down to different parts that are more in depth. For example in fashion, one of the sub-categories are 'Photo Shoots'. Fashion on its own is too broad, we wanted to narrow it down to some stuff such as photo shoots or blogging about trends.
Some of the websites we have looked at in the past and present have been very helpful. We have looked at dozens of non-fashion and fashion websites. We have focused on the layout, text, images and material that has been used. The reason why we have focused on the layout is to see where the menu has been placed. We've looked at colours, whether the menu is responsive and what sort of sub-categories were on the menu. We have discussed the cons and pros of a menu on the website. We are becoming a step closer to figuring out the overall layout of the website, the menu and the sub menu.
