Ok so project 4 is donesville. You can view it by going HERE
the revisions that I made are:
Redesigned the nav, the next and back buttons I removed the text and made them have animated arrows move forward and backward. The secondary nav was also re designed, creating a small thumbnail for the animation that is going to come once they click on it. not showing enough to give it away and keep a suprise behind the button, hopefully they are still work the click.
Changed the overall layout on every page to allow more space between objects
went through every animation and cleaned them up, sped them up, slowed them down, etc.
Added info graphics to some of the animations that were a little lacking in the past. (locations in bold)
numbers 1 & 3 on step two:
added a nice bar chart to the average speed animation detailing speed averages that support the first part of the animation.
added a trailing line and distance measurement to the man jumping
Number 1 on step 3
Created another bar chart illustrating the age groups that acidents happen to.
Number 3 on step 4
re designed the look of the probe going into mars as that was somthing that people had problems with during crit, I also added a line graph illustrating the speed drop for the probe upon entry.
Sound
I decided to work on the sound aspect of the project last, it was a extra thing that I wanted but I didn't want to spend time on it that I could be spending on more important things. As you have more than likely noticed there is no sound, after adding it I found out that the linear nature of the site was going to throw a large wrench in the works for sound as every time someone clicked though from step 5 to the intro the sound would start a new instance. So it would then have two sounds playing on top of each other. I tried various things in the action script to clear out the first sound, but then ended up crashing my entire document. So I decided it was better to have a working site then to have the cheesey song I wanted.
I'm pretty happy with the way that it came out. Just the fact that I was able to reconcept the nav I think helps the project as a whole, and adding the space around the objects to deffinitly helps the form, and creates a nice grid.
Thank you Jamie

Lots of new additions Tim. I commend you on making the effort to add in more content and info graphs.
Really look at the organization of space -- not just this project -- but also for what to concentrate on moving forward with this summer and next year.
In this site in particularly you could address those spatial relationships via the location of those three tidbit buttons. They are quite detailed and therefore need to be large. If simplified could be smaller and perhaps lock-into that upper right area more comfortably.
