DP3: voyage

We have been given our first DP3 assignment called voyage, the brief says we have to create a 5 page website that’s valid to WC3 standards and includes at least three interactive javascript routines that enhance the interactive experience.
I have decided to base my voyage on space, having a man guide you through his voyage. I'm aiming it at kids aged 5-11 to give them a bit of information about space, spaceships and a planet what I have yet to decide.
I am going to create a one page website for this assignment most likely in HTML5, That has five separate areas, Im aiming to make this site fun and easy for kids to navigate around.
After researching on how kids access the web and navigate the web iv determined that I’m going to keep the design simple, because by throwing loads of information at young children it can sometimes put them off and make them loose interest, I will also have to think about how I put across the information I need to make it educational but fun.
These screenshots below are from kids websites. this is the kind of feel i want to portray through my website i want to make the site interactive making the user looking for links, without making them too difficult to find.



I have created two colour charts as a guideline to what colours I will be using.

Today i met a client who owns a barber shop called Mario's barbers. He wants me to slightly redesign the logo, create flyers, business cards and a website so basically the whole package.
Today ive redesigned his logo around his ideas and started to create rough business cards.

What im up to?

Im currently working on a report about networking, I have anaylized my network and put all the people i think can help me in this indistry like comapnies, freelancers, events and people from uni. I have also approached a couple of company asking them some question that i could add to my report, I have also asked about work placements and for them to look at my portfolio.

I have made an attemp at designing my network but im not sure if it really works.
