This is an example of a very simple site where just a few animations and sound effects create a very playful atmosphere. This website is a portfolio of sorts, where you can also purchase or request artwork. It is a very simple site all contained within one common backdrop, which ties everything together. The background is done in the same style as the artists’ advertised pieces and everything melds together. While it does help to create a seamless effect, it also does nothing to accentuate and have us focus on the artwork available for sale. Everything looks very similar, and it can be hard to differentiate each piece from one another.
However, the small details are what make this site fun. The rollover buttons ripple, as though they are part of the water, which is a significant part of the background image. Also the interactions, like the ability to pop the balloons, make the fish speed away, and blow the ship’s horn, keep the page fun and entertaining. Even at this point in the class, knowing just the basics of Flash, we, as students, could probably recreate something very similar to this page. Again, it helps us to see that complexity does not make a site successful. It is the interactivity and the ability to draw the user in, and keep them looking for more.
