Homepage Progress

Intial layout of the Boots Libary home page i think its a good layout and easy for the user to navigate with with the menu and tabs being at the top also the colours are quite neutral and does not hurt to look at it.

Wonderwall :: Website :: Review

Wonderwall


Wonderwall is a website set up to display the interior design studio run by Masamichi Katayama. The website is different to how it displays work having a big grid structure stretching the length of the page, and when the mouse hovers over a any image changing its form and playing a water drop sound which gets a bit repative. The structure also remembers the users click history and changes the form, it kind of tilts the grid to an angle its a nice feature but it also messes up the text at the bottom which is abit annoying if you wished to read it, you would have to tilt your head if you really wanted to read it. When a image is clicked on it loads another page giving a description and a link to further information.

I really like the way this website displays the work and like how the formal grid structure changes into a more fluid object when the mouse is present. Very innovative design and keeps the user at the website even if their not reading the content .
