The Making

Home page –
Made dancers into movie clips then used timeline to animate them and action script for the functions
I then researched how to control the movement in the timeline – used www.kirupa.com it gave me a tutorial on a complex button to control the movement



I then opened the audio player file that was given to me and used to code to have music

This complex button gave my website the interactivity it needed to make my website attractive and suitable for my target audience. its a fun way to draw the user into the website. i think the music and the moving dancers are engaging for the users.

I chose the font Divo from www.dafont.com

This font is perfect for my website, the stars go well with the globe and the theme of dance. I feel it made a huge improvment to how my home page orignially was with arial text and made it more suitable for my target audeince. I used filters in the timeline to make the font look good and glow- glow filter




Gallery- uses an xml database to capture images – www.kirupa.com



I wanted to make sure my pages were neat and consistant. This gallery was perfect for that. it meant i could include seven pictures on every page with out my page looking clustered or too busy. it also allowred the user to interact with website by clicking next and browsing through the gallery. The gallery also allowed me to insert captions for every image which was very useful and beneficial for users.

Header- I made buttons in flash
Video- embed the video into html from www.youtube.com


For every page i selected a video of professionals performing, this makes my webpage more entertaining as it gives the user a break from the reading. These videos are imporant as it is hard to visualise a dance from reading text, dance is an art form and needs to be enjoyed visually. On my Get Fit pages i included videos that the user could use to learn a few moves and get a feel of the dance as a way to help them and encourage them to maybe persue it as a hobby by either taking up classes or buying dance work out dvds.

Globe- I got a flat world map and used a mask which is a style of layer to make circle to make it look as if it was spinnig.
