Website Proposal


INSTRUCTION






LECTURES

WEEK2

In our Week 2 lesson, we learned how to draw with Adobe Animate. We were trained on how to utilize several tools, including the form tool, selection tool, and paint bucket tool. After the tutorial, Mr. Shamsul asked us to draw a boat for practice purposes.


week3

This week, we studied the fundamentals of using animation with Adobe Animate. During class activities, we worked on producing the shapes moving and using ease-out and ease-in effects at various keyframes.


week4

This week, we learned how to use guide layers to create path animations. Under Mr. Shamsul’s guidance, we first animated a beach ball to bounce, and then, combining what we learned last week, made it follow a curved path from the top left to the bottom right. After that, we were tasked with animating a car to move in a continuous loop along a road image.






INSTRUCTION

Introduction:

Thematic Interactive Website Proposal for Brand Engagement. A thematic interactive website is a website that focuses on a specific theme or concept to incorporate interactive elements to interact with users. Most websites utilize multimedia such as videos, animations, interactive graphics displayed on the page, or other clickable elements with interactive components that provoke the user. This dynamic experience is meant to keep the user interested in addition to the thematic concept. Themes in such websites vary from educational, cultural, and promotional campaigns to product launches. For example, a thematic interactive site could be a museum. Users can visit a virtual exhibition space through interactive tours, game simulations, or questionnaires. If it is a movie, the site can simulate movie universes offering virtual tours through time and space, or any other subject previously created in the movie. Any such site aims to keep the user engaged in the medium through interactive exploration.

During week 2, I think of 3 possible topics:

1. An Interactive Website Connecting Pet Owners with Pet Sitting Service Providers 

2. An Interactive Website for Promoting New Game Characters in “Delta Force: Hawk Ops” 

3. Movie Recommendation: LILO & STITCH



1. Pet home care interactive website

Concept

A platform that connects pet owners and caregivers, allowing users to get to know their pets through interaction and then apply for home care tasks.


Introduction

Each pet has its own introduction page, including photos, personality, habits and other information. Users can browse and interact first, and then decide whether to apply for care services.


Interactive elements

"I want to know him/her" interactive button

Emotional voting (such as "so cute", "I want to take care of him/her")

Care application form (simple authentication)

Daily pet recommendations


Target audience

Pet owners with temporary care needs

Pet lovers who want to take care of their pets part-time

Young users who like to browse pet content


2. VALORANT Agent Role Promotion Website

Concept:

Design an immersive promotion platform, focusing on the agent roles of "VALORANT", helping players to deeply understand the character's personality and skills, and enhance participation and character popularity.

Introduction:

Through dynamic web pages, the background story, positioning style, skill mechanism, and other core information of the agent are displayed, combined with visual animation and interactive experience, to strengthen the player's impression of each agent and stimulate the desire to explore and use.


Interactive Elements:

Agent background animation/cutscene video
Dynamically present the character's appearance animation or background story clips to create an immersive atmosphere.

Skill simulation and display
Demonstrate skill effects in an interactive way, such as flash, control, reconnaissance, teleportation, etc. Players can click on the skill icon to view tactical demonstrations.

Poster display area
Provide high-definition agent theme posters, support scrolling or click to enlarge. Players can download and collect, or share to social platforms. Poster styles include: official style, season theme, player submission, etc.


Target Audience:

Tactical shooting game enthusiasts
Existing VALORANT players, especially those who are keen on role-playing and competitive strategy
New players interested in fast-paced competition and hero skill systems

3. Movie Recommendation – LILO & STITCH

Concept: 

Recommend a classic animated movie suitable for parents and children, full of warmth and imagination.


Introduction:

LILO & STITCH tells the story of the friendship and family bond between a lonely little girl and a naughty alien pet. It is a touching and relaxing animated movie.


Interactive elements:

Character introduction cards (Lilo, Stitch)

GIF carousel of famous scenes

Message board recommends other similar movies


Target audience: 

Family audiences who like animated movies, teenagers, and people who like healing works.




I selected the topic 2:

 VALORANT Agent Role Promotion Website


Font


Font matching instructions

1. Title: Druk Wide Bold
Style: Super bold, wide, very present, compact and powerful font.

Visual effect:

Very suitable for main visual or column title (such as "AGENTS", "JETT", "SKILLS", etc.).

Strong modernity and tension, can attract attention and create brand recognition.

Perfect match with Valorant's e-sports style, aggressiveness, and futuristic sense.

2. Text and description: Montserrat

Style: Geometric sans serif, clear, concise, easy to read, often used in web page text.

Visual effect:

Contrasts sharply with the heavy Druk Wide, enhancing the sense of hierarchy.

Because of the reasonable spacing between characters and simple strokes, it is suitable for a large amount of text introduction.

While maintaining a modern design sense, ensure a good reading experience for users.

REFLECTION

In the design process of this pet home care themed interactive website, I thought deeply about how to integrate service functions with warm emotions. Users not only need a convenient booking platform, but also hope to feel the care and peace of mind for their pets. Therefore, I create a warm and trusting atmosphere through warm visual colors, friendly fonts, and interactive elements (such as pet profiles and care progress displays).


In my observation, I found that successful interactive websites can often increase user stay time and participation through personalization and emotional connection. For example, modules such as pet dynamic updates, caregiver introductions, and map reservations can enhance users' sense of participation and trust.


This project made me realize that UI/UX design is not only the layout of the interface, but also the construction of the user's psychological experience. Good visual consistency, clear traffic guidance, and thoughtful interactive details can effectively enhance users' recognition and loyalty to the service, and ultimately achieve the transmission of brand value.
