Hello reader!

Managed to make it to last weeks lecture, and enjoyed it aswell. We analysed several websites, some were very good with lots of interactivity, nicely contrasting colours and in general very well built. Other sites that were viewed were shocking. One religeous site that was viewed was not only the brightest thing ive ever seen, including the sun, but was also a bit scary. Makes me wonder if Charles Manson has access to web building facilities in his current residings. Also another site viewed was full of information, but was setout in such a way that it was all very hard to take in; dull contrast, bad navigation system, and very small writing densely packed together. Overall it made for a very boring web experience.

Thursdays tutorial was enjoyable aswell. This weeks lesson involved shape tweening in Flash. The tutorial on Blackboard was fairly straight forward, and afterwards started to develop little experimental animations. Managed to aquire a copy of Flash, so as to develop my skills even further. A good tutorial site that was refered to me was a Flash tutorial module at http://http://www.w3schools.com/flash/default.asp. The w3 schools site has come in very useful in the past, and is a very reliable source of information.

Looking back at the lecture, i have learnt that a website can be full of information. But if the information is represented in a dull or unattractive way, it actually deters the user from the site, and interest is lost quite quickly. Colour schemes play a major part in this. A website with nicely contrasting colours will make web content more visible and defined, and overall a much better experience for the viewer, which i think is what its all about.
