well first i was going to do static logos but desided that flash moving logos with effects would be the best more eye catching and would give the viewer a better interactive experience. all the rest stayed the same.

• In your Blog posting detail any possible constraints for the design. e.g. use of colour
(taking into account the visually impaired), navigation scalability (leaving room for website
expansion), target audience suitability, technical issues, technology required etc.

i made the type font easy to read and also kept the font size to 14, also made the page 750 700
