Softwares used
To design this site, I used Adobe Photoshop, Flash, and Dreamweaver. Adobe Dreamweaver assisted in designing the layout of all the pages while Adobe Flash helped me design the Introduction page (splash screen). 
Its supposed to be for 20 seconds and one can skip it and go straight to the home page.
With this page, i picked the elephants, the Ugandan flag and company name, hence when one clicks the site, it shows a sign of tourism (wildlife) and which country precisely.

WEBSITE DESIGN
The homepage talks about Uganda, the people and the cultures. Few pictures are added in to brighten the page and illustrate.
the slogan (experience the beauty of uganda with us), bascially tells the viewers of the website that the company has a passion for adventure and not just to make money.
For the colours, I had intended to use colours of the uganda flag i.e red, yellow and black
, but since my page is white, yellow would not be noticed, so instead of yellow, I picked green (it presents uganda's vegetation).

Intial proposal for a website
Introduction
A web site is designed to help a business market themselves and increase sales. Business requirements document the business functions that the web site will support. They do not necessarily document the functions the web site should have, but instead enable an analyst to determine what parts of these business functions can be made available through the web site.
This website is going to promote the company, grow awareness, and provide related service links. The demographic shows that people age 25 and above are our main target audience, which consists the majority of coupled customers(70%), and students on field trips take up 20% while the adventure spirited people take up 10%. Having to say that, this website will be more nature-passion design for those who are so into nature and adventure.
Demographic :
Age 25 and above.
Couples(70%)
students(20%)
nature spirited people(10%)
From time to time, this blog shows updates and how many people are checking out the blog. At the moment, they are 60% mlaes and 40% females. Majority are from Malaysia.
Complexity :
We have 3 main links in the index page. The 3 buttons are Home, Services, and Contacts. The Services link will provide sub-links to all of our grooming services the company is providing.
Team member : Rita ( 1072300022 )
GRID STRUCTURE
Briefing on Content Creation
(1) Less words and more graphics to emphasize customer's experience of tourism services, e.g. use of pictures.
(2) The comment page is where customers and want-to-customers, comment on the services or give suggestions, and also make reservations.
(3) Poll was privided to gain customer's feedback for improvements, and see how many people open the site.
(4) Contact page just provides you with the address phone numbers.
(5) Service page shows you the services we provide.
(6) About us tells you where the company is located, its address and what it does.
This site is for a tour and travel company/agency that will be providing services such as; accomodation services from different hotels in uganda, wildlife sites, camping sites, resorts.
Colour for the website will be white with a few bright colours such as red. Since it will be a tour and travel company, customers can book accomodation, tickets for and to the destinations they place online.

Improvements
With a little help and observation from my lecturer, I made a few changes in the video and poster. I added the contact address for the company. Hopefully everything is looking better now. Finally printed out the A3 poster and now am waiting for presentation.

A Commercial and Poster for the company (Uganda Tourism Association)
Although it is a school project, I had to do it with passion. The previous week, we had learnt how to use Adobe Premire Pro which would assist us in video creation. It was a really interesting lesson that day, playing with sound and image. To produce a clear commercial for my company (Uganda Tourism Association) and a poster, I decided to download images on Uganda from google, i.e. every thing that is fascinating in Uganda, such as, the wildlife, the cultures, the nature and much more.
I also had to download some audio clips using a software called Ares 2.09.3030. I then downloaded jungle sounds such as birds, lions, etc and some African drums. Choosing the right sound for this video was kind of frustrating because I had to test all sounds before I chose the final one that gets my full attention, but in the end I liked what I had done. I also have to upload it to Youtube. This video is a taste of my motherland, and I am proud to be Ugandan.
But first, let's take a look at the poster I created using Adobe Photoshop CS2 software.
Basically, I choose the colours of the Ugandan flag and one very interesting animal, the gorilla. I also had to include a logo for my company, which was also created using Adobe Photoshop CS2. Effects were added to make the poster more appealing and I choose to also make it A3 portrait. I love simplicity in design so the design for the poster is actually something simple, hence making it unique.The video is really fascinating!!
