I've began construction of the Web Page from the initial design I have made here:
During the initial stages the only content was placeholder content. This is common on many web design projects as you are making the structure, rather than organising the content.
The TV Guide is a section I have decided to keep basic. A Schedule should be simple to view, I don't think there is a need to play with the formatting on a key element like this.
As the site begins to take shape, I've began to add more multimedia to the pages. One aspect I am particularly proud of is that the Quick Guide will pull the time table for whichever part of the day it is. From the screenshot you can see it's "Friday Early" which corresponds to the item on the TV Guide page.
Finally I listened to some feedback from my audience about the TV Guide page. In the first screenshot you couldn't see the key, as it was down the bottom. Clearly this was a usability problem and thus I've moved it to the top of the page.
Another consideration to take with this is that I've designed it with the latest technology in mind. In particular the text orientation on the TV Guide is using CSS3, the latest version of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) which only the latest browsers support. On a non supporting browser they show up like this:

The other option
The other option I've been considering, and am infact swinging towards is the Design a Website for a TV Channel. This is due to my experience in the world of Web Development, of which I do freelance in my spare time away from education.
This task involves:
The reasons for this and not the Short Film task I outlined below, is that I have done film under this course last year and in years prior to AS. I feel it would be good to expand my horizons in a field that I am also confident in as well as encompassing animation, in the form of the Ident.
Soon I will be pitching my initial ideas to an audience, which will be posted here and give greater insight into my ideas.
This task involves:
- A Web Page with original content and minimum of 3 linked pages
- An animated Ident to accompany that would be used on the channel
- A double page spread of TV listings
- A full page newspaper advertisement.
