Michael's Art 328 Process

Well let's just get right to the good stuff:

View the final website

Changes made since the last post:

• added CSS footer
• main 'Critique' title is also a button that returns the flash to its original state
  
• added helpful rollover descriptions on the 3 site rectangles
• removed previous rollover fade effect
  
• added sub-naviagtion elements for each site and color coded to match arrows
• got rid of the snowflake icon next to navigation links and replaced with a chevron
• each navigation link stays activated after being clicked so you can see the link chosen
  
• added a 'view website' link with coordinating color scheme
• added text content for each web site critique
• made the website title a button that returns to the original open state
• added a header at the top of the flash file
• added the required windows&mirrors text into my css section
• changed the fonts from eurostile to agency fb and univers
• reworked the 'close' button to sit flush with the top of the content box
• the colored arrows still allow you to skip to any website section

I believe that's it. I really enjoyed working through all the quirks and refining the details so that the user interaction was quite clear and helpful. I added the rollOver descriptions after I read a top 10 navigation post on some blog that showed the progression of navigation menu systems. One of the notable items it suggested is that people want to know more before they click; a la rollOver descriptions.

TOTALLY just remembered that I needed to post my site map, so here it is:
