Blog One: "Luovo"

(Sorry but my screen shots seem to not be working, but here's a link to the site: http://www.luovo.com/eng/mainPage.html)
I chose a website called "Luovo" for my first blog. "Luovo" is a website built for an Italian animation film directed by Dario Picciau. I find the animation of the film very interesting. This site gives many interesting facts on the filmmakers and history. The design is rather simple and very easy to navigate through so users of all levels can use it. After you get passed the splash screen, there is a slide show of images from the film and what seems like light snow going across the screen. At the bottom of that, there is an arrow repeatedly pointing to the left side of the slide show and when you roll the mouse to the left a menu comes up. There, you can view the trailer, news, read an introduction of the film, learn about the author or director, and they even let you view information on each of the animated characters from the film.


They also allow you to view drawings they did for the film.In the background there are very interesting abstract designs. Above the slideshow, there is a list of awards they won and were nominated for. The background music is very beautiful and plays well with the website design, giving the site a mystic and surreal mood.
