interactive art idea

One idea that I had that might be a little more difficult and time consuming, is having a layout of of a house with movable furniture in it. The interactive part would be for the user to be able to reorganize each room of a house however they wish to.

Another idea is to have images of things like flowers, trees, houses, etc. with little boxes making up the big image. Each time a box is clicked on, the box changes to the same image but a different season. For example, the starting image could be a tree full of green leaves in the summer. Then eventually when all the boxes are clicked on the image would be the same tree, either in the same spot or not, but with leaves that are red, yellow, and orange. In the winter the tree would have no leaves at all, and in the spring they would have pink buds on them. There could be a series of these pictures.

blog on portfolio websites

The 3am Design site is very usuable. Everything is very organized so that you can easily find what you are looking for. They give great detail under their company link and give enough information to contact them. If I could change anything about this website it would probably be thier colors. It doesn't really draw you in, or keep you interested for very long.

Adenek is sort of confusing. The links are somewhat hard to read in the sense of where to click on them. The catagories under them are weird as well. This is also a website in a different language. If there was an option on which language you could read it in, it might make a little more sense. The background is somewhat interesting though.

I enjoy the Boogie website. The first picture that comes up makes you want to see more. I like how there is a preview of the image up top before you click on them. Any contact information is a little unclear to know exactly wehere it is right away.
Other than that, this website is very easy to get around and explore.

My favorite one is the the website with the various color of bars and each one has a different picutre to it. The website is based off the idea of a timeline. I think the idea is very creative and logical. It is easy to understand and is fun to look and interact with.
