Unit 25 - Produce Copy for Interactive Media

The constraints are depending on the audience for example the younger audience are going to want something that looks less professional more colourful compared to someone who is older they want something more professional less colour this can be a problem for designers because they want to make sure that their product is the most eye catching this can be a problem when designing the product.


The main constraint when using a content management system is coding issues because its very strict compared to html if you make a tiny mistake it can effect your website vastly it can also be an issue changing the background image ect which needs skills to change and is not user friendly. The advantages of a content management system is that it is very easy to use which can be very useful for clients.


If you had a younger audience then you're going to make sure that the style is suitable for them add more colour make it look less professional but more eye catching compared to a style for an older audience where you need to make it look more professional add less colour but also not to make it to boring which can put off certain audiences if it was for all audience then you need to add colour to your product but also make it look professional.


The main constraint is if they work together you may have a text that you like you put it into your product but it dosen't look right that is the problem you have making your website look the most professional and eye catchy.


You can spell check and text to make sure that all spelling is spelt correctly you could have some to read what you have written to make sure that everything spelt correct grammar/punctuation.


You need to structure you content so that its easy to read for example if you had it with 8 px at the bottom of the page people aren't going to read it because of the size and where it is position you also need to make sure that the text is easy to find so that readers can read your article.


You can test you website on different web browser by clicking the preview button on dreamweaver and this will show your website on that certain browser for example for my website I built it on chrome but I tested it on chrome,opera,firefox,internet explorer and safari and after looking at the results I came to the conclusion that chrome is fully working so it opera but internet explorer and safari their still is problems so i need to redesign it so it works on all browsers.


when inserting text into my website I make sure that all the stuff that is copied is annotated i would also format it to make sure that the text is easy for anyone to read i would also check my spelling after completing a piece of work checking the spelling but also checking for grammar I would also ask someone else to read it if it was to some importance i would also check the style to make sure that the  text works well with the product and make sure it works well.


I made captions of my blogs to describe what the picture is about captions are bits of text that describe a picture they are like someone talking about  a picture they give a brief of what the picture is about act you also need to give a good description of the picture to give the reader a better understanding in what your talking about ect.


I inserted clear hyperlinks when doing my website and my blog to make sure that the reader a better example of what I'm talking about for example my portfolio i needed to show the reader more about website so I put a link in my webpage to make sure the reader can see fully what I have done and to also provide feedback either on my blog or my website about my portfolio.


My portfolio and my 1 page website is the best example of metadata because they have links to other websites for example my portfolio has links to Facebook, twitter, design crowd, you tube which when you click on them it goes to an other website the definition of meta data is a set of data that describes and gives information about other data so my portfolio is the metadata is is the source of all my data.


I would look on the internet on two or three websites to make sure that the information I am giving is correct also I would ask someone who has knowledge in that subject to see what their opinion is which can help identifying issues if it is wrong i would write on forums or ask a specialist about the issue.


I would change the text ect to make sure that it complies with the data protection act the computer misuse act also copyright trademark patent intellectual properties.
