Initial ideas and final layout.

Bellow are 2 layouts that i have come up with for the BBc Wildlife page.

 

 this is the first layout i came up with. the large box at the top is a carocell of the images that rotate, the 2 small boxes at the top are for the twitter and facebook icons, the top right is for the logo, the set of 6 boxes is the menu bar, the box just bellow is the bread crum trail.

The lower box is also a moving carocell but for featured stories instead the buttons eather side are to move the stories left and right.

 I decided not to go with this idea, altho i like it alot it dosent really suit the client, but i will most likely use it in the future. 

 

This is the second layout i have come up with and this is the one i will be using in my final project it fits the purpose and is far more simple and easy to navigate. 

refer to the anotations for more information :)
