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 22nd. October


  • Researched on line - what is available about Limerick
    • http://www.limerickcitydb.ie/CDBInfo/Main/Main.aspx
    http://limerick.ie/OurServices/Housing/HousingPublications/FitzgeraldReport/
    http://www.limerickpride.com/
    Downloaded the following PDF's from the above sites:
    a. The John Fitzgerald Report, which “addresses issues of Social Exclusion in Moyross and other disadvantaged areas of Limerick City.”
    b. The Limerick Pride PDF, which “is dedicated to promoting the very many positive aspects of Limerick City and County.”
    c. "Limerick, the profile of a changing city"

  • Progress review meeting with Pat Green & Seamus OCiardaiun and discussed the two alternative below:
  • Reason behind color, Architects drawing = blue print = hence liked the idea of blue.
    Homepage design size set to 750 x 450 x 72ppi to fit a 15” monitor.
    a. Rulers
    b. Details
    c. Use transparent architectural drawing
    Using a,b,c helps to create the architectural style needed for this web site.
    Layout 2 – grey
    This layout appeals to me also as I created buttons using architectural details and photos of Limerick as buttons with an architectural feel.
    Looked at free fonts on web, as I liked the font used on Hut Sachs Studio web site – no luck yet finding a suitable one yet.













  • Weekly meeting with my supervisor Mike OConnell and discussed my concerns with the technical aspects involved.
