Web design evaluation

For this project I had to create an online information system for an apocalypse scenario.  I chose to use a nuclear attack as my scenario.
I decided that I wanted to mix flash and HTML to create my information system.


Due to time constraints I feel that I ended up rushing the creation of the flash and this has had an impact on the quality of the work. I feel that visually it doesn't work as well as I would have liked. The white backgrounds to the flash are too harsh against the dark template for HTML. I would also have like to have created mroe interactivity in a couple of the pages, however again I ran out of time to do this.

I wanted to keep my navigation clear and consistent throughout the site as this is easiest for the user, making their use of the site more enjoyable. It means that they are more likely to use the website for a longer time and also return to the website. If people get frustrated with navigation they are unlikely to want to use the website.
I feel that I have been successful in this aim as my navigation is consistent throughout the website, at the top right of the web page.

As part of the creation process I learned how to create my own scroll box using actions script and masks. I have also generally become more confident with flash. I do generally get the way in which Flash works and understand how the coding works

Next time I will plan my time more effectively to allow myself to complete the design to the best that I can rather then having to rush. Part of what caused this for me is that I had to design the HTML elements as well as the Flash.
