For this project, I am creating an interactive, multimedia website. I'll use Adobe Dreamweaver, an HTML editor, to create the site and various other applications to take it from boring to awesome!
Before I could play with the fun stuff, like backgrounds and images, I spent the past few weeks learning Dreamweaver. I watched a over 13 hours of training and tutorial videos. Let me just say, this material fairly dry and should be absorbed in small chunks, but by the time the semester is over, I should be a Dreamweaver pro!
There's a bunch of design elements I hope to incorporate. A rotating carousel on the font page would add visual interest, some maps with roll-over spots are definitely on the list, and some little Flash extras throughout the site could add some "movement" here and there.
I found some websites that gave me inspiration. Here are a few that are very fun, though I can't say this project will grow up to be anything like them:
http://www.nike.com/jumpman23/aj2012/ (I like the way things "move" in this site, sideways, diagonally, vertically)
http://www.kinetic.com.sg/main.html (I like how key little bits and bobs jiggle about on their own)
http://www.darc.ro/minichallenge/ (fun to watch)
