Welcome to my 4th. Year Final Year Project

The changing face of Limerick City will provide a valuable source of information in an interactive way to the users interested in finding out about the development of Limerick City over the past number of years.
This project really motivates me as it combines my architectural experience and photography passion together to create a web site housing both aspects.
I love to take photographs of buildings and will be able to use some of those images in this project to help show off my native city to its best. I will be able to give an architectural feel to the web site by using an architectural style layout on the web page, which I hope will attract architectural inclined individuals.

Week beginning Monday 15th. October

  • Given project approval

  • Got article from the Sunday Times Paper on John Fitzgerald who wrote the report on the regeneration of deprived areas in the city.

  • Project review meeting with Patricia Green - advice given on storyboards & navigation etc.
  • To Do List for project following discussion with PG:
    1. To give the site an architectural look – “Blue Print”
    Find architectural drawings to use as background for web home page
    Source architectural details that can be used on these pages as buttons OR Have a little drawing at bottom of page of a building
    2. Make the name of the buttons mean what they say they are going to display – use more appropriate names.
    3. Home page at present is incorrect – needs more work and buttons to be positioned differently.
    4. Don’t need acknowledgement page – This can go in report
    5. Look at color and text that appeals to me
    6. Buttons:
    Instead of presentation – Say Audio & Video
    Comments – Have your say
    Partners – People making changes happen
    Case Studies – New buildings in limerick replacing old!! Possibly
    Past Present Future
    Vision / News- The new vision / buildings / regeneration for Limerick.


  • Architectural web sites that appeal to me - http://gruzensamton.com and http://hutsachs.com/











  • First meeting with our supervisor Mike O'Connell - discussed the tasks required for next weeks appointment.

  • Took some photos in Southill & Moyross.




  • Did draft layouts in Photoshop
