Introduction


This is my publishing task 2 for content management systems. In this blog post I will be talking about the website I will making for my second continuous assessment. I will be talking about UX principles, the kind of website I will be building, why I will be building it and the themes and plugins I will be using.

What Will I Build

The website I am building is for a fictional vinyl record shop called vinyl world. I am hoping for the website to look like a basic music shop website, for example Golden Discs and Discogs however it will only be vinyl record sales, preferably one of those websites where a customer can sell their own vinyl’s for example the website pictured below.

I will make sure to include images of the vinyl being sold as well as information such as the pricing of the vinyl, the name of the vinyl, the artist behind the vinyl and the vinyls release. I will also make sure to have colour on my website and to split each of the vinyls into categories. 

Why Am I Building It?

The reason why I am building this website is because I myself am a fan of music and I enjoy collecting vinyl records as it is my favourite way of listening to music. As someone who collects vinyls I understand the problem of not being able to find a specific vinyl in a music shop so when this problem occurs I resort to looking for them online however sometimes they are only available on specific websites. I would like to create this vinyl record website in order to help people like myself who collect vinyls have a website where can they search for specific vinyls that they want. I want to make vinyl records more easily accessible for collectors.

How I Will Build It


The way I will be building my website is by using Wordpress through Mamp. UX features I will be using is an about page, a contact page, and a location page. Useful plugins to build this website would be MP3 Music Player by Sonaar.io, Visual Composer, Revolution Slider, Essential Grid, Bandsintown, Woocommerce, Wordfence and Yoast Seo. Useful themes that I researched are Sound by ThemeRex (Themeforest), Kentha by Qantum Themes, Melody by Qantum Themes, Bookshelf by ThemeRex and Brooklyn by United Themes. According to the article that I researched the best theme to use for a music shop website would be Sound due to the fact that its features are able to highlight your products as well as a responsive design that can make it easier for customers find what they are looking for on any device. It can also be set up very easily and has plugins to help bring your website to life, music demos with different instrument sounds and customer support for when you run into a problem. Each one of these themes include useful features and designs to help your website stand out.

  My name is Eoin Harrington. I am 22 years old. I am in 2nd year in creative digital media in TUD Blanchardstown. The photo above is a picture of myself (and a pretty good one might I add). The best classes I took last semester were digital photography and storytelling and narrative. I enjoyed digital photography because I have an interest in photography and it was fairly easy and I passed it. I enjoyed storytelling because I have an interest in filmmaking and it is what I want to do when I am finished this course so I ended up with a basic idea of what it was like to actually make a film as our main assignment was to make a short film and I then passed it which made me very happy as I now feel like I might actually be good at it. I enjoyed introduction to digital media as well because it was interesting learning about the evolution of digital media and I enjoyed doing the essays as they were interesting topics. Web development was an interesting module however I did find it very chal

My Favourite Game: Grand Theft Auto Franchise

 GRAND THEFT AUTO ( https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/logo-grand-theft-auto-game-samsung-tablet-grand-theft-auto-gta-action-adventure-video-game-series-created-david-113844972.jpg ) My favourite video game franchise is the Grand Theft Auto franchise or as it's otherwise known GTA. Grand Theft Auto is an open-world action-adventure video game franchise where you play as gang members who mainly specialise in car theft hence the title Grand Theft Auto. The first Grand Theft Auto was released in 1997 and its most recent title Grand Theft Auto V was released in 2013. Grand Theft Auto V is currently the best-selling video game of all time. The franchise consists of seven main games and four expansion packs. I like the whole concept of these games. I like that you have the choice between playing missions and completing story mode as well as a really enjoyable free play. One of my favourite things to do during free play is police chases. My favourite game in the franchise is Grand Theft Auto

Game Alpha

Image from my game This week I have continued working on my game like I have been doing every week. So far I have been enjoying the process of making the game. I decided since I have limited time to just make my game simple rather than stressing myself out to make a brilliant game. So far I have my player moving and my crates disappearing however I'm still having issues ending my game. Strangely enough when I type in my game over code my crates just disappear without me even moving my player. Once I manage to end my game I feel like I will be ready to wrap it up so the sooner I get these issues fixed the better.
