with my wireframes I was thinking for the introduction page of having a timer to create anticipation for the festival, and a tile slider below of images mixed between the music artists performing there and the social aspects that are involved with going to a festival.

I am now trying to figure out what pages should always be accessible via the header navigation bar. so far my thoughts are Gallery (including videos), News, Merchandise, Buy tickets, Info (which could have timetable and maps connected to it and might not have to be on the main navigation bar to avoid clutter and finally Contact us.

Gallery - so far I think it will contain a simple lightbox full of strong photography (one thing I really liked when researching was the strong photography that was available on some of the sites, this really made it stand out from other competing websites. For example Latitude and Greenman had superb photography making me remember them.


where as endoftheroad, portelliot and creamfields were more easily forgotten. I don't know the situation with this whether or not if I can use copyright material for my sketchbook if it isn't published online? or if we have to use royalty free images we can find which isn't so readily available and the images might not be as good.

News - Here is where I think I can implement acordins easily into my website without it seeming like a unnecessary gimmick I had the idea of doing a live update feed this can probably be done through a plug in again but I would like it to have no watermarks or advertising and this could be quite hard to code into my site. A live twitter and facebook feed (fake obviously) with tags that link to my festival that people are talking about the festival I.E every time someone posts a tweet with #fest2013 it will automatically appear in this feed.
