Through work I have done for Titanic SA Belfast they passed on work to an Estate Agents they work with some times ' Property People Belfast'. Property People are looking to re-brand their company image. My-self and Lisa then started to work on new Logos from Property People, we are still currently working on them but here is a few example of ones that I have put together for Property People.I have also done summer work for Property People so I have already put names to faces, however I was doing more office work rather than graphic work, but knowing Property People staff made this a lot easier.

However after my meetings with my lecture we talked about how i can make the narrative more interactive and allows the user to do the research and finding out facts with my site. I then drew up a quick site map that Helen's looked over and give me feedback on. The feedback was great and ensured me that the project contained a lot more user engagement.
