This week, we had interactive storytelling website project presentations. I quickly have noticed a theme through all these interactive storytelling websites. They seem to really focus on animations, transitions, and sliding objects that move the background with them. While I really enjoy this type of website, it’s getting harder each week to say something new out of the presentations. This week though, I did really enjoy how one of the websites incorporated actual images taken by a camera, as this is the most similar to our projects. I did not notice any major problems with these websites, I just like to see more of a use of individually taken images and videos, because like I mentioned, it is the closest thing to our projects. I did however not like how some of the websites, I feel like the use of audio might have overshadowed the actual material of the website. Using audio can be tricky, and needs to be done in a way where there is no risk of it being too much for the website to handle.
If we are being honest, all the cool animations and movements these websites incorporate are a little too advanced for our skill sets, and as much as we would love our website to look like that, we can only do our best.
That being said, this week, we started a more realistic picture of what we want our website to look like. We are going to add the pizazz and fun into our website by using colorful colors, placement, interactive pieces (hover images, scrolling background changes, etc), and a fun environment.
