interactive websites

ive been looking at interactive websites to try and find what unique styles other designers have come up with the produce an effective intereactive website.

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/new-fantasyland/

this is the new website for fantasy land at disney land florida, it has an interactive map on the home screen where you can click on different characters and find out why they are featured on the map. when clicking on 'the beast' it gives you information of the beasts castle restaurant. this works well for children but slow and uneccessary for adults, apart from this is does work well as a website. 

http://wechoosethemoon.org

this website was a website built dedicated to the apollo 11. you can play around a launch your own rocket and go on your mssion to the moon, the only problems with this website is the slow loading and also some of the graphics are quite pixalated at times, apart from this the website is a wonderful idea for children and adults alike. there are voice overs from the astronauts who were on the rocket at the time, image galleries you can look at and you can skip certain stages of you 'mission' 

http://www.mono-1.com/monoface/main.html

this website was created by an advertising agency who live by the motto "simpler is better" in the case of this website i agree, this really is pointless yet engaging fun to have at your computer screen, the endless possibilites and the occassional snigger from the website user are effect enough for me to be seen as a genuis intereactive website. 

http://waterlife.nfb.ca

this website was created as part of a documentery called waterlife. it shows humans how important water is to us and each section of the website has its own specific shape e.g. water is healing, so the shape is a cross. the animation to this website has been to a high standard there is no pixelation at all. 



All of these websites were done in flash, although im not using falsh as part of my brief i feel looking atthiese websites has helped me gain a greater understanding of a unique interactive website and how i can attract my clientel.
