Week 6 EOC: Seducing the Online Web Surfer Ideas


·      Create animations coming in as soon as the website is opened. Have animations build up the page. Have most buttons be interactive as you hover and click on them. Animations can play idly in the background at a very subtle pace where it doesn’t become too distracting to the viewer.

·      Placing on slideshow on the homepage showcasing the creator’s best pieces to put up front. The slideshow could even be more heavily animated by having the pictures vary in opacity depending on where the mouse’s cursor is placed. Once there is some interest on a certain piece, the browser can then click on the image and it would take them directly to where the piece is archived or to an alternate route towards one gallery, demo reel, site map, etc.

·      Having the home page designed to fit specific needs to the browser, depending on what their business is. Have the UI clean and easy-to-use, like an information kiosk and have the user be asked direct questions as to what they would like to see and at a brisk pace.

·      Have the user “role-play” as if they’re going to a show with some other characters a part of the website. Have them immerse themselves into the world that is forged before them, like having them go into a movie premiere showcasing all of the creator’s best pieces. And if the user wishes to see more about the creator, they can go “backstage” to see their contact info.

·      Create a highly interactive UI almost like a video game’s way of doing so. Buttons would play sounds and music. Animations would play idly in most places even to the point of there being a futuristic feel to it. Apply lots of polish to make almost everything capable of being interacted with, regardless of how mundane it may be. (i.e. having boxes swing gently as the cursor passes them).
