Project Concept Proposal

This project is about redesigning a commercial website of a street that full of pub and some restaurant, which is,AsianHeritageRow (http://www.asianheritagerow.com/). AsianHeritageRow contain 2 different establishement that is Dining & Nightlife.As Final Project is a redesigning commercial website project but not a rebranding commercial website project.So some of the thing that must be remain such as the identity of the company cannot be changed and the logo has to be remained.The project will be done as like stated in the Gantt chart in 8 week with HTML.

Current Site's Analysis

The purpose of this website is to let more nightlife people to know more information about this street and understanding The Design, Establishment, Event and etc in more detail before going to the place that chosen.Besides that this website is also to let nightlife people to update their information about the event that is holding in the month or in weekend.Furthermore this website also contain Job Apply. For Job Apply in this website they did a quite good job of write everything in a very clear for what job need to hire people.

And for other page like About Us, Media & Articles, Establishment page should be refine. Because this 3 page the contain of detail are too long to preview and for the new generation like us we more prefer something that are short and clear information and not too long. In this 3 page it should be more focus on main point that to explain something. Besides that this website is too boxy from the main page until contact page and the banner of picture of each page are not related to what the contain is and the website does't look like a street tat full of pub. Furthermore the event page too long event thought it can be scroll.

Client's Analysis
Asian Heritage Row (AHR) runs along the quaint Jalan Doraisamy, which is situated just off Jalan Sultan Ismail, next to the Sheraton Imperial Hotel. It encompasses a row of elegant and charming restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs and even has a foot reflexology salon. These 80-year old prewar houses, that were once abandoned and ignored, have now been given new life with F&B outlets of international standards.Asian Heritage Row aims to position itself as a new landmark for the city as a cultural, dining and entertainment district for both international tourists and locals. And today AsianHeritageRow are quite famous street in KL and also They place that quite crowded in KL.

The Asian Heritage Row that we know of today reflects a new and modern era for city goers. It is a place where power lunches and dinner parties take place.It is trendy, hip and unmistakably cosmopolitan. Yet, it is distinctively Malaysian and cultural in architecture. It is a place for tourists to come and savour the many types of food, and also a place for KL-ites to kick of their shoes and have a relaxing time.

Short & Long-term Site Goals
For the short term Goals, they have different event in different pub in weekend or public holiday. But the time/date of event for short term goals are well written on the website and included some picture. But there are also some space for the improvement that is they should included more detail about the event of the night and promotion of that night to attract more people.

For the long term Goals, they should update more often or more event on every night so that nightlife people will visit more often.Besides that they can add some video like the nightlife in the pub to show how fun or how delicious is the pub and Restaurant is to attract more people. Besides that in the website they also can change the gallery(picture) more often.

Web Design 2-FinalProject-Client's site critique

2009-09-17T13:18:00.000-07:00

Main Page: The design are quite boxy and
the background are quite suitable but it didnt
seem to be a suitable for this website because
this website is about a street tat full of pub and
the design of the pub are more modern is just
the name of the street make it to more Asian style
and the red box not suitable with the backround of
few statue

This page is establishment page
there too many word.overall the picture are ok
and the header picture are suitable because this page
is introduce bout the design of the pub,the place and the food
so it use the image quite suitable if compare to other page

This is the event page and this event page are too long
beside that everything look quite neat but
too boxy
and when click the name it doesn't work but
when click on the picture and it pop out
a box that show the picture only and i think
it not user friendly because some peoplee
might think it is virus or something.

this is about us page and the arrangement are not
good because of too many description and
now a day no people will really read so long articles
and it should make it in more interesting way to attract
reader to read this page

This is the gallery page..when we click on the image
it will move to another page to show only the image
and it don't have back button to turn back to this
page.

This page is about media & article
in this page there too many word in every page
and 1 of the page is not in English but other other language

This page is about Finding job
this page is quite ok with the need arrangement
but the picture are not suitable.

For this contact part i think everything is quite ok
except for the image that they use.

My 2 year first sem artwork for Design Method 1

2009-02-15T07:06:00.000-08:00

This is my first artwork to describe how delicious candy for children. Besides that giving candy to them can make them hapi or as a treat to cal them do other thing.
I using a tradition way to do this artwork (collage)

This is my final outcome. And the slogan that i give to this artwork is Magically Delicious. I use this word is because
i wanna show how a candy can become a magic tool to make a children hapi and do other thing.
Besides that I turn this artwork into a story book for kid by Walt Disney because i feel
Walt Disney cartoon are very interesting and and can attract children. Adnd I make this story book related to a girl
in a CANDY DREAM

This is my second artwork to describe a little gal that live in orphanage wish to have a little home. Besides that she also wish to get love from her parent.Besides that i use blur to
make the houses because she doesnt know which one is her own house
and the parent didnt hold the hand because she wish
one day she will standing in the middle and
HOLD
her parent hand

This is my final outcome. And the slogan i use is SOMEDAY SOON. I using this slogan is because I wan to show out and encourage to those kid in orphanage that they will have a Family Someday Soon. so dont give up on hope.Besides that I show in Billboard is because i want
other people to give attention on what i wan to say. A child need a lot of love when they are in progress of growing up. And appreciate them bcoz this is a
best gift and most Valuable that GOD give to human. Besides that if we cant give them LOVE
so dont do wrong thing
because children are innocent.

This is my Third artwork to describe animal need a safety place to HIDE themselves. When facing some danger.So human also need a place to hide or to hide their real identity.

This is my final outcome.And my slogan is INVISIBLE VISIBILITY. I use this slogan is because i feel that when we are hiding
something sure that place in invisible so other people cant see. I put in in umbrella because when raining time or sunny day
people will use umbrella to hide themselves. so if they didn't take the umbrella taller so we cant
see the real face of human

This is my Fourth Artwork and also is the last. This artwork is to describe
MySelf.
This artwork to show my what i have been through.
Like get scolded, face alot of critic, work reject by lect and etc.

This is my final outcome. And my slogan is
Lost Without Emotion.
I use this slogan is because the situation that i face everyday
are the same. and because it it the same so i
become numb and i lost it without emotion. i put it in
T-shirt is because the situation describe that i get
scolded,reject work from lect, crtic are the real word that other people
give it to me..so T-shirt is the normal thing that we wear alway
so i wan to show to other people don get mad when get negative talk
because it make us improve alot.

From the ancient china there were ten suns.This ten suns are "yu wang da di" sons."yi wang da di" arrange them everyday have to go to the sky to do their duty to lighten "da di".But the small suns doesnt follow their father order.All of them to flee to the sky to play.Then ten of the suns fire plus together make the ground fruit tree,crop and etc burn.Because of too hot and also make a lot of people starving and lot of people die.
