Task 02: Interaction Design Planning and Prototype

The animation in the website shows content revealing progressively (e.g., text sliding in, elements fading in). Which is inspiring because it creates a sense of discovery and guides the user's attention effectively.. The smooth transitions creates a cohesive, flowing experience as users navigate the gallery.

Each animated element has a clear purpose, whether it's introducing content or highlighting navigation options. This purposeful approach to animation enhances usability and user engagement. The animations maintain a consistent style throughout the different sections creating cohesive animation language.


Prototypes:

I am required to work on my visual design and start planning my website's interactive design elements and features. Unlike a traditional static website, when it comes to interactive design where animations are present, my plan should include not only the layout visuals but also animation examples or references. I can build my own animations or use reference animations to demonstrate my intended ideas.

Low Fidelity Prototype


This low-fidelity prototype outlines the structure and flow of an interactive website for a graphic design gallery. The prototype consists of three main pages, each represented by a wireframe layout:

Graphic Design Gallery (Main Page):
   - Header with navigation options for "Designers" and "Workshops"
   - Main content area with "About" section
   - Footer with "Explore Galleries" and "Workshops" options
   - A footer area labeled "Footer"

Virtual Gallery:
   - Header similar to the main page
   - "Designer Portfolios" section with four selectable items
   - "Virtual Tour" section with ten circular elements, likely representing different gallery spaces or exhibits
   - "Information Panel" at the bottom with a circular element and a "Details" button
   - Footer area

Workshop:
   - Header consistent with other pages
   - "Tutorial" section with four selectable items, similar to the Designer Portfolios
   - "Community" section with placeholder content areas
   - Footer area

The arrows between the pages indicate the following user flow:
- From the main Graphic Design Gallery page, users can navigate to both the Virtual Gallery and Workshop pages
- The Virtual Gallery page links to the Workshop page
- The Workshop page links back to both the Virtual Gallery and the main Graphic Design Gallery page

This prototype demonstrates a interconnected structure allowing users to easily navigate between different sections of the website, exploring gallery content, designer portfolios, virtual tours, workshops, and community features.


Animation Sheet

Prototype Preview

This animation sheet demonstrates the interactive flow and animations for a graphic design gallery website. The design uses a minimalist, clean aesthetic with predominantly black and white elements. Let's break down the animation sequence:

Homepage Introduction:
- The first two panels show the homepage with "GRAPHIC DESIGN GALLERY" and a brief description sliding in, likely from left to right.
- The second panel adds two rectangular elements, possibly menu items or featured content, sliding in from the right.


About Section:
- The third panel transitions to an "ABOUT" page, with text explaining the purpose of the website.
- This animates in when scrolling down after the homepage introduction.


Navigation Options:
- The fourth panel shows "EXPLORE GALLERIES" and "WORKSHOPS" options, presumably main navigation categories.
- These elements animate in sequentially after the About section.


Virtual Gallery:
- The lower sequence starts with a "VIRTUAL GALLERY" landing page similar to the homepage.
- It transitions to a "DESIGNER PORTFOLIOS" page, with a sliding animation.
- The next panel shows three selectable gallery options appearing.


Virtual Tours:
- The final two panels display "VIRTUAL TOURS" pages.
- The first shows the title, while the second reveals a grid of 8 squares, likely representing different virtual tour options.
- These squares will animate in sequentially.


Overall, this animation sheet showcases a smooth, progressive reveal of content as users navigate through the site. The animations appear designed to guide the user's attention, create a sense of depth, and provide a dynamic, engaging experience as they explore the graphic design gallery's various sections.
