Now is Semester 6, lots of newbie subjects this sem, photography, digital vid, marketing and our old friend Web Design TWO! First day, project brief sudah datang.
This time our project require us to redesign a website... me, MC and Ruzafir are taking the same topic... which is www.theloaf.net... BREAD BREAD BREAD...
Here is my Gantt Chart for this project

and my flow chart :DDDD

mmmm, i think we gonna lapar when doing this web, especially when we are in the stage of OT! OAO... So here are the screenshots of the websites :DDD

Problems that i found in this website:
- almost 90% of this website are pictures, including Body Text.
- too much flash.
- the side button of this website should have a rollover effect.
- the colour mood could be better
- the news and event page seems to be very very long and full of data plus not interesting
- the background image of this website could be better, rather than just repeated bread background.
