For my final review, i chose my single page site based off of Jack and the Beanstalk. This site uses balance and unity to its advantage in the way that it keeps texture, navigation and graphics the same throughout the whole experience. All of the images have the same feel to them, and once a user navigates for the first time, it will never change. The navigation is displayed in a creative manner, and is still easy to understand. To begin the story, an apropos button is displayed for the user to do so. In order to climb the beanstalk, the user needs only to click the buttons that say climb. No area of the page is too cluttered, while no area is too empty either. The color of the site has an inviting, fairy tale feel to it, which emphasizes the story and gets the user more involved and intrigued. The colors that stand out the most are within the parts of the images/story that mean the most, and no colors are distracting and hard to look at. The layout of the page is different and unique, as it starts the user at the top, then immediately to the bottom, in which they work their way back to the top to start the story all over again.

To improve this site, I could implement animations to enhance the user’s experience. Since Jack brings items down the beanstalk in the story, they could equally be shown falling the beanstalk through animation. A character could be placed at the bottom of the beanstalk, and whenever “climb” is pressed, the character could dynamically rise and look as if it’s actually climbing the stalk. Sound effects could also be added to enhance the experience of the story.
