Everytime I visit a new webpage I find myself checking out their navigation. If it’s easy for me to get around the site or if it’s different than any one that I’ve seen before. I can’t remember how I came across this one site, but I’m happy that I did!
Going through the website, (which is http://3oneseven.com by the way) most of their pages have the same navigation like other websites. Click on the header and it leads you to the next page and you look around there for the next link you want to visit. Than I came across the Graphic Design page and the navigation to look through their selected work is really cool!
It’s a gallery navigation. They have 25 different selections you can chose from and when you hover your mouse over them (without clicking anything) it rotates around. On the bottom of the gallery there is a rotating sign. When you click on that, other pieces of artwork fly in and replace ones that are already there. When you’ve decided on which one you’d like to look at, click on it, and it blows up in size, and again with your mouse hovering over it, you can rotate it to look at all sides of it. In the bottom right corner of each piece is another rotating sign that flips the design over and you can see who made it, the time and the date. And than when you click off artwork (white background) it’ll take you back to looking at the selection of work.
I thought this was really cool!
It was really disapointing though, that none of the other pages had cool navigation like this one. The rest of the navigation I found pretty well BLAH.
I thought some of her artwork was pretty neat and if you would like to see some more as well, here is her deviant page. http://milo317.deviantart.com/
Enjoy! =)
