evaluation

My website was designed to be based around the manga artist Yana Toboso. The first things I did was to research what books she had created. After that I had to research and find out what those books were about. After getting this information I was then able to design and create a logo. My logo has some aspects of both of her books. I also needed to do research of other websites so that I could get ideas for my own. I managed to find a couple websites that were unique and different. This research helped me as it had then given me ideas on what I could do for my website.
To complete my project I had used flash. I used a mixture of traditional and digital methods to capture the stuff I needed for my website. First I had use a graphics tablet to draw the backgrounds. And then after I had gotten my traditional stuff I then went onto using a digital method in flash to create my scroll bars.
I think that the success of my project was the visual aspect. As the lace brush tool that I had used showed of the style of the manga Yana Toboso had written. Also with the images on the main page that I had created were good because for anyone that had read her books they would be able to tell what this site was about

In this project I like using the scroll bar in my work as it gave a professional feel. It also makes the page look tidier and less cluttered if the text is in a small box. I would like to use this again in my future projects because it organises everything and makes it easier to navigate around.
Some of the research I did for this project helped for example the research I did about the layout of websites helped allot because it gave me ideas about how my website could look. But the research about the history of my capture method which was drawing didn’t help me at all.

If I were asked to do this again I would have spent allot more time in doing research so I could get more ideas on what to put in or on my website. I would also have used scanning so I could put textures onto my website because it might have made it look more interesting and appealing  
Over all with this project I managed to learn how to create links and scroll bars in flash and I also learnt about different layouts on websites. My overall opinion of my website was that I could have added in more things to make it attractive and I could have added more information and text
