Introductory Questions

1. Amy Hwang | Communication Design BFA | Junior
2. I am currently taking Interaction Foundation for my Communication Design major.
3. I have some experience with HTML, CSS, and some limited experience with JS; I have taken Visual Principles & Web Development at WashU.
4. I am hoping to learn to create interactive websites and use css elements more intuitively.
5. One thing I think will be significantly different will be trying to design interactive elements in a website, like buttons, mouse effects, banners, etc.
6. Nomadic Tribe I found this website very interesting as it uses sound, a beautiful visual style, and interactive elements to portray a narrative tale effectively. Each step in the story is accompanied by interactive elements, buttons, and animations that involve the viewer in the experience.
7. Mechanical Watch This website utilizes sliding buttons and animations to communicate each part of a watch, its function, and specific mechanism very clearly. Each diagram communicates the physical mechanism in a very simplistic and easy to understand manner.
8. The Evolution of Trust Both informative and interactive, I think this website works well to demonstrate the mechanics of trust, economics, and game theory in a simple and entertaining way.
