Website footer (bottom banner) research and design.

This is an example of the Eastenders website 'footer'. It's a photographic image of the most common sightings of 'the square' and audiences can instantly recognise it. There's features at the bottom on a black banner that allows people to follow updates via facebook, twitter and other social networking sites although there's no information via text message newsletters (we may want to incorporate this idea). The image is very detailed and brightly lite which goes against the pessimistic nature the show presents.



This is coronation streets footer, as you can see both of them feature the broadcasters logo as this is a trademark. Coronation street also have the distinguished road sign, Eastedners featured this as their header, perhaps we need to include this somewhere to represent where it's located in London to relate to our wider audience. Coronation streets footer is, visually, more simple at fades from the background brick work to black. I think the simplicity works much better as i believe it appears neater.

I designed this footer that can feature at the bottom of our web page. I've chosen to follow the theme of our header and create a collage effect as i think this has a very good impact. I featured the photographs i had taken of the inside of the location to show the offices where all the drama will happen.I tried to choose images that had unusual angles and frames and would create an abstract impression. To help create an overall style within the site i used the same font that will featured on all the articles. I included the channel we're hoping to host the show on. Coronation street feature, very elegantly, the days it's on, perhaps i can develop this design further and include the days it's on and the time.
