For the final PowerPoint project for Advanced Info Design and Presentation (one of two finals–the other can be found here), I made a fully navigable prototype of my WordPress site, bestshowevereugene.wordpress.com. This site was my Transmedia Field Guide for another class, Art in Society. The prototype looks more amatuer-ish than the actual site. But that’s to be expected, because for the site I used a pre-made, professional-looking WordPress template (although I did use my Photoshop skills, gained from this class, to make the banner!). I like aspects of the prototype though (which is set up almost identically to the real site, which itself was based off the SmartArt flow chart I made for this class). In particular, I like the yellow star that indicates which page you’re on, and fonts I used –Popstars for the title “Best Show Ever,” and Richard Murray for the headings. I got both of these at dafont.com, my new favorite website. For the background image, I screened a stock photo of a disco ball way back in Illustrator. I was planning on making the background similar to the banner for my site, adding a photo from one of the concerts I attended, but it was way too busy-looking. This project was an exercise in self-control–I kept it simple this time. I also became much more comfortable with PowerPoint as a result of this project.
