After going though the previous steps mentioned in my previous posts, I came to design a mock up website. I knew the wireframe I was using and the sizes and all the little details and the colours, what resulted is the image below.

After pulling back and looking at the over layout, I could tell it wasn't right, the image took over too much of the area and there was really not enough room for it to look comfortable. Nevertheless, I showed it to the rest of my classmates.
The Responses were fair and justified, the most obvious one was the colours just weren't right. Also, there was some confusion becasue the image suggested that the website was promoting a restaurant rather than a literacy festival. At this point, I felt like I was going back to the proverbial drawing board.
