One more contribution to our site

From another module I have been offered the opportunity to learn how to make use of the web service of Google Maps. This would benefit our site by having an interactive map feature on the page instead of just a static image, which users could manipulate to better help them with directions to the exhibition.

This entails using JSP coding.

I have 'cracked' how to get thisfeature working for our site after a good session of digesting horrible code!

I am proud though to say I seem to have it working and that it will be amongst my contributions to the site.

Below are images of the system I made for the service to be tested.

What I have been working on recently

I have digitised my sketches of the website layout. The plan was for each of our members to come up with their own designs from which elements could be taken for a hybrid design for the site.

The images below show my designs with some dummy images from our group's dropbox folder to give it more realism.

The page to select a student to view their individual work:



The page for an individual student (the images would be of the same student from different angles holding different poses).
