[|www.jimcarrey.com] Jim Carrey Official Site 1. This is the official site for the Canadian actor Jim Carrey. It includes his biography. news, filmography, TV, and origins. The goal of this site is to give a background and information on Carrey. The design and interaction of this site very much sums up the personality of Jim Carrey. It is surreal, dramatic and surprising. 2. It uses a variety of colour and mostly photography-based imagery. The navigation typography looks like it is hand done and the typography included in his ‘bibliography’ and ‘news’ pages are simple and sans serif. Most of the information is given to the viewer through visuals and sound. 3. The website is completely interactive and all of the links to the other pages can be reached through clicking on different imagery throughout the home page as well as on the navigation bar along the bottom of the page. There are no large amounts of text on any of the pages with the exception of the ‘biography’ and ‘news’. The site is image based. There is a very nice visual hierarchy and contrast in size in the different images, but hierarchy of text-based information is not very necessary because of this. 4. The site is very innovational. I have never seen a website that is quite so interactive. There are constantly things that are moving, changing, and new things to see and click on. The information is mostly given in the form of sound. The filmography for example has snippets of lines in his movies when you click on the different characters and things that happen when you role your mouse over an image. 5. There are also many surprises and unexpected things occurring all over the pages. For example, there is a little character with antlers that arbitrarily pops up on all of the pages and if you are fast enough to click on it before he disappears then it will show you a snapshot of Carrey. I think that this site perfectly displays Carrey’s creative and random personality.
