Rationale
Starting with the first publication which was a car Japanese culture magazine, my aim for the next project was to adapt and change my previous content into something web friendly. With the change, I’ve changed my theme to Formula Drift, which is a Professional Drifting Championship. In the making of the final outcome, the website I’ve taken the most inspiration from is Instagram’s hashtag searchers. With keyword I have chosen near the start of the project Simple, clean, pattern and documented, my aim for to make a website which embodies all of those keywords. To further develop my website, I’ve taken inspiration from Google images, Flickr, Pinterest and Instagram because I wanted my site to showcase majority Photos. The Instagram format stood out the most which made me choose it as my main grid structures. How I have changed the grid structure for Instagram to making it my own is, I add in one more row which breaks the screen into a grid structure of ¼ which gives the user a sense of balance and equilibrium, because it has always seemed strange with the 1/3 grid structure. To every Photo there is always text to it. How I have layout my text is to have the user hover over the image they want to see and then, if the photo has text attached to it, the photo will turn opaque and then the text will appear next to the Photo on the right side. By having the text hidden, it helps keep the website clean and simple till the user is ready to see the comments. Furthermore, another way the user can see the Photos better is to click on them, this will expand the image for a better viewing experience, which is also adapted for mobile screens.
