Oh crap! Were we supposed to post these to our blog? I signed on tonight to do my blog post and decided to check out what types of things everyone else was blogging about. That's when I noticed some had posted their assignment. So, even though the worksheet doesn't say to specifically, I guess I'll post mine just in case.
Ok, so here goes.....
Since I have a love of animation and a sick and twisted sense of humor, I decided to do my page as an homage to one of my favorite animated series - Archer. Here's my brainstorming exercise:
This is the mock-up of the entry page. "The Danger Zone" is a reference that fans of the series will easily get. I tried to keep it in the style of the series - which is has strong visual influences from 1950's/60's movie posters. Specifically the style of Saul Bass and his poster for The Man with the Golden Arm. Please note: the typeface used below is the typeface used by the actual show. It is called Baveuse, and it is free! What luck!
Because the entry page wouldn't exactly be the same as the interior pages, I also did a mock-up of one of the character's pages. This one is for Pam:
The difficult thing about doing these pages was keeping it simple. There are so many hilarious visual gems in this show, it is hard to keep from overloading the page with imagery. Also, the style of the show doesn't exactly fit with the tutorials we did in class, but I was able to integrate the reflection effect on the index page. I was even happy with the result, which was unexpected. This was fun to do since I am interested in the topic.

I think that the overall presentation of your website is really nice. Its intriguing and makes you want to go deeper into the website. I think that it is very usable easy to navigate. The color and images work well. I like that the home page is simple and clear.
<3. This just makes me smile. I've seen the commercials for this show and I think it looks so funny, and this just makes me want to watch it more!
Overall presentation is really nice. Will each character have a different color? I think that might be fun in helping distinguish them.
Usability looks like it would be really friendly. My only concern is the lady or other character sitting on the bottom of the screen- if you had more text about the character such that all the information would be below the fold, would the character have the same impact as they do if it just shows up on the screen without having to scroll.
It is really well organized. The title and the links are really well done and they are easy to find.
:D
This is very clean and well designed. i like the quote on the bottom of Pam's page, i think it helps balance out the page very well. I really like the mirror affect with the title. it seems like it is also easy to navigate to the different pages. A agree with carolyn on each character having a different color. Overall the site is clear and looks fun to be on.
