Final Exploration

This website is easy to navigate and it has a rollover effect as you move the mouse from subject to subject. It has links to all different kinds of media, photography and atricles. I liked the amount of content available. There is a wide variety of sites, artwork and tutorials to look through.

has always been a favorite site of mine. It hosts artwork from all over the world and can be sorted by favorite, type and style. I thought it would be appropriate to contribute it to this blog because it has been a huge influence in my views on design.

BBC features a site to encourage a healthier environment. I enjoyed the theme of this site as well as the smaller suddle animations that bring the page alive. The load time isn't too bad and there are small text animations to read as you wait for content to load. It encourages users to make small life changes and pledges that will in turn affect the environment.Within each section there are hints as to what is interactive and where to navigate your way around the site. It allows you to sift through categories and narrow in on the topic you want to know more about. I liked the little shadow host theme guiding you through each section, it was a nice touch to the theme. Nice use of scroll and rollover buttons to include extra titles and information as well.
