Educational Software

For the major project I decided to teach some basic maths probability with a flash application.
I decided to include a drag and drop marble exercise and a spinner example as well as an animated slideshow to teach the content.

Initial layout:

Simpsonize Me - Website Review

A fun colourful website which attempts to appeal to a wide audience. Its design uses a lot of bright colours and has a lot of flashy buttons and lights on the 'simpsonizing machine'. This works well to gain attention but it makes working out what is clickable more difficult.

Working through the site is mostly linear and straight forward I found it slightly confusing to work out how far along I was (with the right side bar).

Final Visual Synthesizer

Final Particle Synthesizer

Particle GUI layouts and designs

Particle Styles



Layout. The two bars for both the gravity and emit direction were later changed to a 2 dimensional box.

Initial Particle Test

Initial test for particles. Includes changing between two styles and has a clear button. The emitting box is still draggable.

3D Total - Website Review

http://www.3dtotal.com/

3D Total is a website that I visit regularly. It is a site about 3d graphics featuring galleries, tutorials and news. The base layout, design and colors are fine (except of the large orange notice square that appears recently) but the top navigation and title bar remains as a stationary frame when scrolling down and the design disconnects.
Also, the navigation is somewhat lost between two ad bars but the space on right is not utilised at all, at least for larger resolution monitors.

Particle System Layout

Layout idea for visual synthesizer with particle parameters on the right and particle style buttons along the bottom.
