we have created links to other pages using rollover pop ups of them hidden in the index page

this is the new photogallery layout with rollover top tips connecting to the photos

 the original layout for the character page changed and we decided to follow the same layout as the index page this included links to the photogallery pages

new village

rosettes

Final index page layout.

Quite a cool little layout...not for anything particularly relevant to gardening but thought it looked like planting labels!

bunting

managed to animate the bunting to make it a bit more interactive/interesting to look at. 

not sure if its a little distracting? 

(not sure if this will work cause blogger doesnt like animated gifs)

this link is to a myspace page of a french musician/artist....scroll down and u will be able to see a little animation about vegetables that i thought was pretty schweeet.

text to accompany the 'step by step' guide. In keeping with hand made feel.

This would be the page that you will directed to after the village fete poster. Here you will be able to find out about how each character grew their own Giant Vegetables? Thoughts?

Final Character illustrations.

the photo galleries look amazing, and i like the dustbin idea a lot too.
maybe we could vary the scanned in paper more? i'll see if i can find some on flickr.

jamie and i thought that the dustbin would remain on the page all the time ad you could clck through the images revealing the next layer of soil/compost with the line of text revealed at the same time down the side of the image. Every image ould have an accompanying line of text and the text would simply be added underneath the last.

The title "hall of fame" will also be added to the photo-gallery pages in the same typographic style as the homepage

marrow and tomato photo galleries

Really like the gallery stuff you have done laura...really nice.

Luke the poster looks really nice too! im still drawing up the characters but will bring them in to finish tomorrow!

artists and designers

hey guys i was looking for designers and artists that combine text and imagery;

christopher wool - works with wallpaper patterns

vince frost - created adverts for australian tourist board on place to visit

Tomato - works with printing often overlaying text and images together

This link also has a step by step guide on how to set your own vegetable patch and how to grow the vegetables. 

Allotment Plot

Ineractive Gardening webpage.

Thought this would be worth a look as it is basically what we are aiming to do but in a typographical way.
