Creating page 3

Today I worked on creating page three. I referred back to the home page that informed me that the third link should document different attachments for the dyson telescope.

I created this page by initially using the same grey and black gradient, before amending this to better suit the message of the page. I added an effect to this and then modified it with a plastic wrap; this gave more of a technological impression, linking to the robot theme.

I placed the dyson Telescope in the centre of the page. The impression that I was trying to give off is that the dyson Telescope is so powerful; the circular backdrop represented the swirling suction of the dyson cylinder, whilst the vacuum cleaner was sucking these components in; suggesting the absolute power of the suction – as a product, this is what it is trying to promote to differentiate itself from other products in the range.

Each of the items that were positioned on this page was edited using the colour 16 trace facility. This ultimately gave a photorealistic depiction of the item, which was necessary with regards to the purchase process, people do like to have a good idea of what they are purchasing.

However, I felt it was in keeping with my theme, and also not fundamentally necessary to include the true image of the dyson components, as people are more likely to buy them for their function, not their aesthetics.

I therefore was clear that I would have to provide substantial information about each of these items. I considered that the background would swirl around at an average speed so that the items could be seen and located; once the user hovers over an image the spinning would stop and the item would enlarge, providing a drop down list of information, and links to checkout.

What next?
I must view page 1, 2 and 3 in relation to each other, seeing if there are any lapses in continuity. I must then start thinking about page four of my web design – the all-enticing game, and how this would affiliate market for my product.
