Once upon a time I was into designing web pages. Before I was aware of style sheets or any of the wild and crazy things that are now done at the norm. I wanted to design a web page for Claudette and Tony's website. From my sketchbook I found some drawings of old portable electronic equipment. So, I decided that the website would have this sort of look. It would be distressed yet high tech. This was created without the benefit of Photoshop and only a very rudimentary image editing was used.The features are as follows:
From the top left, clockwise.
- "The Year in Pictures" is a slide show with the control underneath
- "Buddy Sings" is a video, a Windows mediaplayer is embedded
- The anime is just a pin-up image
- The "Panic" button causes the entire image to vibrate when clicked
- "X" marks the spot - - mouse-over links to games
- "Music" links to music as listed -- songs will play sequential
It was upgraded at Christmas for a vocal Christmas message. Creating this was a lot of fun and I would like to build another with more realistic appearance and RSS feeds.
