GRaphics on the INternet

 Here are five websites that rely heavily on the usage of graphics as either a navigational or design feature.

1. (http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/#)-- This use of graphics are placed so that the web surfer can move the curser over what they want to click and watch the text become highlighted, which is good for people who suffer from astigmatisms like myself or just someone with a short attention span.

2. (http://www.hbo.com)-- This website has a smooth and laid back layout. The shadows work well with highlighted texts so you still see everything. I can visualize the movies, shows, documentaries, etc, all with having the graphics accommodate by bold titles which don't take up too much space on the page. NICE layout.

3. (http://www.2advanced.com/)-- This one is very artistic. Every time the curser scans over anything, it creates a high frequency beap, which sounds futuristic. The  page runs very smoothly, the  background images are interactive. Their is music on the page that adds to the scenery of the background, which makes the website feel like your setting the options on a video game that your about to play. Awesome!!!

4. (http://ff0000.com)-- This website has caused me to stop doing homework. When it comes on, it loads up slowly. But then 2-D animation of a little man are shown, and you can control him with your navigational buttons, making him fly past the text on the page or walk through a dark gloomy cemetary, all while the details are on the top of the screen. This seems like a free roam game, but its not. This feature kills some time. Oh yea, you have your own character, along with other people who visit the site and you can chat with them. SWEET!!!

5. (http://theovenreinvented.com/)-- this website is very virtual The background is all black. You click the oven and asked how much time you have. Then the oven preheats, then a chef cooks the food that you have time to watch. The food cooks and you can watch the mechanics of how heat cooks it. Its very visual, in 3D and interesting to watch.
