tiveThis interactive space project overall was a fun process. At first, i found it a bit weird and challenging using html and Dreamweaver, but after a few goes on it i finally got the hang of it and the coding. The idea i had was based around my travels. Taking and finding images that i needed to take/took were tough as i didn’t really know how my images would all link up. I actually considered scrapping this idea as i couldn’t think of a narrative to support my images, but after some thinking and brainstorming i came up with an interactive calender idea in which the user clicks a month in the year and it takes them to a destination, e.g February takes you to Spain.
I felt using Adobe Dreamweaver was a lot quicker, more efficient and easier than html as you could visually see what your page would look like and could navigate the hotspots easily to suit my needs. With my images i decided to edit them in Adobe Photoshop by making the whole photo in black and white apart from a certain part of the image which indicated the hotspot. I believe this creates an effective mood to the story drawing the users in.
Overall i am pleased with my interactive space project however if i had more time i would link some of the pages up better as there are loose ends e.g clicking on a later month would lead you quicker to the end of the story. Therefore if i had more time i would improve this so these loose ends were fixed. Despite this, i thoroughly enjoyed this project.
