Search: i have been wrapping up my searching lately but am still bringing in some very good information that i might include. i have most of the hard information and at this point a lot of the cool stuff that i'm finding is either to help the design or is a video to accompany a description. i have gotten a better grasp on the artwork on the board and have been able to notice some common themes,but this the art section is still going to be the most difficult.
Evaluate: i have been going through a lot of the pictures and videos that i have saved and bookmarked and have been deleting or unsaved ones that were very similar to others, didn't fit the group, or didn't really have a place in the final site. i have also been breaking up the good stuff into their respective categories. not all of it is in the site yet but i have most of it separated at this point.
Organize: like i said before i have most of the information separated i also made separate sections in the website for each of the different categories. categories are things like a beginners section, parts of the board, history of the sport, and external references. i may split up references into two categories as well, one for links that will provide information and one for things like really cool videos and pictures. it depends if there are enough references to warrant two separate categories.
Design: i have a few ideas for the design but it is not finalized at all. im thinking about making a custom logo and putting it in front of a banner of people riding in all the different style. the banner would have a distressed vintage look to it with some lense flair as well. the front is going to be pictures for each category that you can press to go to that category.
Narrate: the final curation is going to be a go to spot to answer any and all questions about longboarding easily. i want it to be all the little communities collective spot that will allow longboarders to come together and learn something new regardless of their current skill level.
the hardest thing is still going to be the artwork category. it is a very broad subject that has a lot to it. i know some of the different styles such as using different types of stained wood to make a graphic, printing the graphic, metal patterns, and people making their own custom design.
from here i need to
1. put all the information into its respective category in the curation site
2. make the logo and header
3. make the buttons for each of the categories.
Time management is definitely one of the hardest struggles for me just because i have a hard time starting to do the work. once i sit down and start doing it i'm fine but starting is still difficult for me.
