Sweet interactive site, especially for an oven... Check this out! Unique interactive website that allows viewers to draw and change the company logo/slogan. Take a look at the browser and scrolling! Work popping up everywhere, very dynamic! You have to drag around to find things, but there is also the option of a more traditional navigation at times. Not the easiest navigation in the world, because when you click things fold up, but creates cool visual effects. You can customize the site! change the background colour, and the navigation. It is nice to have options! Very interesting way to **display** their collection as well as to make the website interactive. Some really fun applications and possible ideas that could help with project 1. website, a really really well done vertically scrolling editoral style website... with a nifty embedded quick navigation element down the right side. Sa-Weet. An interesting portfolio site that focuses a lot on images and mouse movement. Interesting Yamaha Japan website with never ending picture navigation Daily update with Fresh website design ideas, some really good sites here with interesting contents!v

When the URL is inputted it automatically detects colours from the css. Helps you name that colour you choose on the pallete. A really neat project/collective started by Alex Orlowski and Hattie Newman! //"We instigated an open collective by the name of The Yellow Revolution, intended to facilitate and showcase interdisciplinary creative collaboration amongst UWE students. The revolution led Hattie and I to become the joint campus chair of the Students Union for UWE's creative campus, Bower Ashton."// Help you match colours
