Gambling in SYDNEY!!



Australia! In my opinion a paradise on Earth, with over 22 Million people living harmoniously in this utopian multicultural society. New South Wales (NSW), is in the south-east part of the Australian continent and is the most populous and heavily industrialised State in Australia, with a highly urbanised population.
 An estimated population was 7,238,819, people call NSW their home which makes up approx. 35% of the population of Australia. In the heart of the capital city of NSW lies Sydney - with its iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge a famous tourist destination till this day.

Blog Design - Sydney Night Life



This post will discuss the design of our blog. It will explain what our blog will look like and how the design will help make navigating much easier. The dot points below summarise the design of our blog.

  • The design template we will use should be able to provide and offer readers an enjoyable and fulfilling experience whilst reading our blog. Making it 'easy on the eyes' is essential. Hence, it is important for us to create a blog that will be able to provide the readers with their needs and wants, whilst being user friendly.

  • The design colour of the blog should have a strong base and appeal boldly to the eyes of the readers, capturing the attention of the readers. However we must also ensure that you readers can still easily read the blog with no difficulty. The size of the fonts we use will be clear and well contrasted with the background, minimising any straining on your eyes. A variety of font colours will also be adopted to make the posts and our blog visually appealing.

  • The layout of this blog will be in a informative review layout, elaborating the various ways to enjoy your nights in Sydney :) However, instead of just copying-pasting info. from other websites, opinions will also be added in each post giving a personal insight on the topic discussed. 

  • Finally Links will be given to the various places along with pictures to help readers engage visually on the beautiful night life activities in Sydney.Comment on any of our posts are appreciated and will be used to improve further posts about the blog. 

  • In the near future, we are hoping to upgrade our blog by giving it a more interactive interface. With an addition of interactive slideshow of images of the various clubs, pubs and restaurants that we have experienced. These visuals will be effective in giving a strong depiction, and at the same time educating our readers by giving them a sense of what we have experienced. 


The Story board :)

 
  
We would like you readers to provide us with your public opinions and we would love to interact in real time through a chat box. Our published blog posts will allow readers to comment and share their opinions. A ratings system can also be put to use to rate our blogs. 

With all this in mind, we hope our readers enjoy their nightlife in Sydney.

We'll discuss the good experiences we've had, and the bad ones we'd rather forget. We'll discuss the dance floor, the crowd, the music, the drinks, the facilities and all you need to know about Sydney's most talked about venues.
