Project Progression

  • Idea of the website and References
Basicly, i want to make the website simple and not to much of word, because the target audience is children (6-12 years old) and as we know children nowadays so sophisticate use technology such as ipad, phone, laptop, even they can buy in-app purchase for game. So, i was searching all interactive website but not all website is children friendly. However, i found good website. The website called Evelux

Evelux Website
They used perspective movement, so where the cursor move, the image also move based on the cursor perspective. To be honest, this is too much for 4-weeks progression, because i only learn css so far and no Javascript basic on my mind. Then, i come up with parallax website. If you see firewatch website, the creator used parallax movement but vertical scrolling. The website i want is horizontal movement and also if the user scrolls, the website is move. So far, i didnt found the javascript for scrolling movement especially for adobe animate. Why i am use adobe animate, because, i have experience make parallax on adobe animate, so i just re-used the method.

About font, i found some website that they give some children friendly-type family. You can go to YouWorkForThem . This is a good website and also official website for typography. Many big companies use this, but, the font that they provide is with price (not free). So, what can i do is just analyze and identify. Here is some example of children friendly-type family

If you see the examples, the font is all rounded and not complicated because, basicly, children will learn what they catch first. So, i decided to search in google font and i found good font. That font that i found is called Baloo Bhajiaan and this is free !

  • Storyboard / Concept board / Wireframe
My storyboard
Digital version
As i said before, this website basicly parallax horizontal scrolling, but adobe animate that i used is doesnt support with parallax scrolling plug-in and etc (fyi, Adobe Muse is support with that plug-in), so i decided to change the hamburger menu with basic menu in upper-right-side.
  • Prototype (First Launch)

I found some not good looking with this website, because they have white lines surround the picture and that makes me annoying. You can see the picture below

wrong website
So, i decide to change everything (not at all) especially for homepage, and for the animation itself, some animation it is not smooth and not relatable, so i also change it. You can see final result on Final website section.
  • Final Website

So, if you see in that video, i added some circle in that menu to let the user that he/she on that current page.
