Thursday 7th September 2023 Statement of Intent

LO - to produce a concise and clear statement.

My brief Is to make a health and fitness website for a target audience of 14–18-year-olds who want tips on a healthier lifestyle, specifically what a healthy diet looks like and healthy alternatives to unhealthier eating habits. I chose the name “FUEL” for my website because it’s all about fuelling your fitness and choosing foods that make you feel healthy physically, mentally and socially.

My aim is to make sure people are aware of how much diet affects your health. I plan to keep the theme of the website very simple and easy to navigate, my colour pallet and website design will be neither masculine nor feminine, this is to make sure everyone feels welcome to have a look and talk to friends about it too.

Each health and fitness website that I researched had 2-3 main colours and used sans serif fonts for most of the writing/titles, I will be doing this as well.

For my 45 second video I will be making a timelapse of me making a healthy smoothie or healthy and easy to prepare lunch.

LO - to recap brief criteria and explore how to create effective representations.

How is your homepage going to follow the layout/content conventions of a homepage?

what is your linked page going to be about and how will it be laid out?

-im going to make a linked page featuring 3 or more pictures, some with healthy food options and how to instructions on how to make them cheaply, also some with easy to follow exercises (yoga..?).

How will the genre of your website be made clear over both pages?

- i will make sure that the colour scheme and genre stay very unisex to make sure that anyone feels that they can partake in the activities advertised in my website. i will not aim anything at males or females and will make sure everyone feels supported to do whatever they enjoy.
