Indeedy just checked my marks and i guess you could say it was well worth the wait. I did amazingly better than i had really anticipated so i feel kind of relieved knowing i’m doing some stuff right and the fact that i am doing well in this and still passing maths makes me feel even better (bio is another matter). Woohoo!
ok enough of the self praise, i am also happy to announce that i have managed to create my imagemap for minisite 3. I think it’s pretty cool since as you rollover the brain pic different sections light up with info about the links you can click to. It took me the better part of a day but well worth it. Thanks Kristina for the tutorial, gotta love that beatles picture.
Also i have created 3 themed headers for the 3 different applications within the “Wave” program (music, text and games). But since they use colour i’m not too sure i they will fit in with the rest of the website design. And i don’t really want to change the web theme as the colour used was meant to be fairl neutral and sorta science as the program is fairly scientific even if it has some fun advantages.
Also kevin gave me the idea of maybe when people click on the image map, instead of being directed to the site with the nav bar, a box could open ontop of the image map with the info and then you could easily close it and click for another section (much like a light window/box). I don’t mind this idea except it would limit the amount of information i could depict on a page and would mean if i wanted to include alot of info i would need to have scrolling, and i;m not a big fan of the scroll bar.
ALSO i need to fix the scaling of my site. I don’t know why when i scale it it overlaps the nav bar. But since minisite 2 doesn’t do that i could probably figure it out.
That is all.
Ooo.. what did you get??
haha.. just kidding.
Happy that the beatles helped you. Yes – In John, Ringo, George and Paul we trust. I’m gonna put my image mapping “skills” to use again for my next splash page… slightly more ambitious..
I think you should only include the light box thing… i was thinking of using the light box thing.. and you know what…that guy who did the minisite of the poche models would be my personal Number 1 web design stalking candidate!! Cos that’s what i’ll be doing to fins out what he did to have windows pop up and have the function to re-close them… will let you know how it goes, unless you take a look yourself
p.s. you should definitely find a way for users to see the brain image map thing more. i just took a look – looks really nice! – but one little click and the user will never see it again, unless they use the back arrow. if you don’t end up doing the lightbox thing, another suggestion is to scrap the side bar and just have a little brain as a back button to take them back to the hub page?
