Final Review

For my final review I decided to review my single page website, King Thrusbeard.

The balance of my page I would say is okay. I designed it in a way so that everything on the page that you were looking at was balanced and that it would draw your eye across the screen. By placing the scrolls at the top and the bottom of the pages, alternating them, is one way I made my page balanced. Another way I think I made my webpage balanced was by making the corresponding graphics about the same size as the scrolls, unless they were the background of the scene.

The overall unity of my page can be seen in the style of the graphics being used. They are all vector art and are all very simple. The colors are similar to tie everything together even more. To not clash with the unity of the page, the only emphasis is seen in the arrow users are supposed to click to navigate through the story. The arrows are a black color and stand out from the pastel and dull colors used in the graphics and the light tan used as the scroll color.

As mentioned before the colors are all similar to tie the page together and are dull or pastel colors so it is more appealing to look at. The layout of the page is simple and easy to follow and so is the navigation. I used arrows to show the users were to click to continue through the story. On the first slide I even stated, “Click to read story” so readers would know what to do from there on

Overall I liked my page but there is a lot that I would change. I would have used a different font and made the scrolls a lot smaller so people would be inclined to read them. I would have made the scenes in a frame instead of a continuous line where you could see the next scene and sometimes avoid using the navigation. I would have added more CSS so the arrows would have changed colors so readers would want to click on them and continue reading. Overall I think my page was successful, but knowing what I know now I would make the changes I pointed out so readers would actually want to read the story.
