After looking through the many single page websites found on the site you provided for us, I found a site that was one large animation saying Happy New Year. When I first launched the website, all that appeared was a loading screen that said \u201cAre you ready?\u201d and then a match that kept jumping up and down. I then discovered that when I put my mouse over the match it was a button to click on. Clicking on the match then made the match catch on fire and four colorful rockets showed up. Clicking on the match again I could drag the match to each rocket string. After dragging the match to the first rocket a sign popped up that said \u201cNicely done! 3 to go!\u201d which then led me to believe I needed to light the last three rockets to find out what happens next. The rockets then shot up and the screen changed to a city skyline and the words Happy New Year 2016 on it with lots of little blinking dots in the background. Referring back to the reading, the color of the single page site went perfectly with it\u2019s theme. The never burning out match was fun because it gave you as much time as you wanted to light the rockets. Taking a deeper look at the rockets colors (green, orange, blue, and red); green symbolizing growth or hope, orange being a very active and energetic color, blue symbolizing openness, and red having a reputation for stimulating adrenaline and blood pressure.<\/p>\n
The navigation is provided by the different objects you have to click on and where you move them to get to the next page. The user does not need to scroll at any time. I don\u2019t necessarily understand why there is a website just for an animation regarding a happy new year note. The site\u2019s design elements make it extremely easy to move throughout the site. The texture of the illustrations could be better. There could be shadows or more detail in the illustrations but it all still works for the simplicity of the site itself. The point I got from the website was just to make a fun animation for New Years. I like the process of getting to the New Years message with the city skyline. It is a very basic site. On the last screen on animations you can click to get more information about the artist. I don\u2019t feel there is a strong purpose for the site. It\u2019s not selling anything or persuading anyone to do something. It\u2019s just a way to say happy new year and show off the artist\u2019s coding skills. Although this site is a bit childish because of the process, every once in a while it is fun to come around these types of sites. The site is supposed to be promoting the artist\u2019s GreenSock Workshop but I would not have known that if I didn\u2019t read about it beforehand. For what the site provides I think it would be a fun thing to send to relatives on New Year\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
