Rationale for Website

To make my website, the program Dreamweaver was used and my website included the colors in my color scheme like it did with the advertisement and my space. First of all, there was repetition throughout the pages to make it look unified; the logo left hand corner, banner showing which page it is and the menu bar. Also the same font was used for the logo, banner and the menu bar which also contributes to my website being a unified website. The secondary pages are all aligned the same, and the same with the tertiary and primary pages to make the website look neater. For the menu bar, the pages which are clicked before, is set up so that it looks orange which also matches with my color scheme and makes the website less boring. On the home page, a candle is put up because the candle is basically the symbol for my company. For the gallery, the images are set up so that if you click them they enlarge. There is equal spacing on the sides (can’t see on the blog) which allows the website to look very comfortable space wise which is good for the people who use the website.

Gallo Nero Restaurant Space- Explanation

The space I have created for Gallo Nero was a two- floor restaurant. In the restaurant, the elements which are included are sofas and tables, counter, glass windows and doors, spiral staircase, chandelier, and wine rack. The colors are mostly red, orange, dark brown and light brown; this is my color scheme for Gallo Nero. On the table, the menu that I made for Gallo Nero is put. Also the floors are wooden which fits my color scheme and the restaurant. The chandeliers are put to make the restaurant look more luxurious and the windows and doors are glass/ transparent to attract people by allowing them to look in the restaurant and to also make the restaurant an open space.

Idpure magazine article- Onitsuka- Tiger in the soul

Written by: Aylin Sallin-Toker

Summary of the Article:

In Japan, Onitsuka Tiger offers a “beautiful roar”. This shoe company was found in 1949 and for the last 50 years, all they decided to concentrate on was technology rather than marketing. So, for the next 50 years the founder said that they will concentrate on marketing. This company first saw international success in the year 1951and an Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila who ran bear foot accepted to wear this company’s shoe to continue in gold medal in 1964 and 1968 Olympic games. This became the symbol of the brand and signature. All that was missing from this company was strong marketing; there was a recent opening of the first Onitsuka Tiger Store in Switzerland.
