Interactivity

Project #2

Create an experimental WWW page which uses interactive dynamic elements as an intregal part of its design. These elements might include both text and images. Your page may respond to mouse movements, mouse clicks, key strokes, etc.

- Once again, in this project, attempt to push the boundaries of what could be described as the "common practice" space of normal Web design. For example: using large numbers of independent images, each which change somehow in response to the mouse's presence, or scrolling text at speeds close (or beyond) the limit of legibility which freeze when the mouse passes over.

- Experiment with elements which are invisible until the user "touches" them - or which are uncovered when a masking layer above them disappears.

- Consider how any static elements on the screen support dynamic elements.

- Use movie clips which play over time, and are tirggered by the mouses motion - the user triggers various transformations that either then play out at their own pace, or which are then "interruptable" by the user, or which "oscillate" forever.

- concentrate on dynamic activities triggered by interaction, rather than on motion. In other words - keep object in one location on the screen, and see how much you can get out of the dynamic potential of interaction with them.
