Hands Up, Don't Shoot - Website

A strong design aesthetic has already been established so was simple to transfer to a web format.

News Feed 

The pages are fairly self explanatory: the home url will open up to the 'News Feed' which will have a list of news reports as they happen and will be constantly updated with a time and date stamp to order them. The user will be able to scroll 4 stories on a page then navigate to older posts though a page number link. Spreading out the content to multiple pages will cut down the pages loading time as there is less information and will make it easier to the user to manage what they are browsing.

In terms of design, it layout is straight forward as the content take priority and would't want overly decorative features to obstruct important information. 

When hovering over a link the text will invert making it clear that it is selected and will remain when on the page. 

This will be the same when hovering over a story. 

Once a link to the story is clicked this is how it will appear on the page with other article links at the side of the page. 

Location

For the location page the navigation will act the same way but when hovered over will change to the most recent incidents coordinations through as gif. image.  

The locations page page will open up a map with the locations of any of the stories across the globe. I decided to add this section as it links the coordinates in my zine and I felt that it was too focused on America despite it being and global issue so wanted to show that. It also could extend the project to creating quarterly zines about different countries where it is a problem. 

When a point on the map is clicked text will show with links to articles related to that area.  

The Zine

To promote my zine further I have added a page where a copy can be requested and then posted. The zine will be free as it is a non-profitalble cause however I will ask for the cost of postage and a small donation of their choice. 

I would like to continue this project beyond the module as it is a cause I feel strongly about and is an ongoing problem. It was also enjoyable creating the zine and will be good to start a series of issues.
