I know it's not brilliant but I didn't want to make a big deal of it anyway.
So hope everyone will have a great Christmas and a happy new year:):)

This is the homepage of my finished website.

Since I am totally new to building a website, I chose to basically stick with the original design. I used to same brown-creamy colour as it is the colour of chocolates. The banner is basically the same as it is their logo, but I rearranged the words and added a chocolate photo so it looks more interesting.

I redesigned the navigation bar to the left side because of the F shape concept. I think it's easier to find the navigations if the bar is vertical. I also grouped the Location and Contact Page from the original website into one Information page, so there isn't too many navigation to choose from and the users could find the same kind of information in the one page.

Originally, I have put a chocolate splash photo as the background picture, but because of the issue of different browser resolutions, I decided to put the picture under the footer so it stays in the same place all the time.

I have put some pictures using JQuery and JavaScript mouse-over in the website, as I think the interactivity makes the website more attractive and the chocolates more appealing. I have also created an entrance page with a chocolate splash as the background and a mouse-over picture as a welcoming sign. The reason I have created this page is because I could like the users to experience how it feels like to go in the shop with appetite for chocolates.

Interactive Music Video - mirror by SOUR

http://sour-mirror.jp

A Japanese music video called 「映し鏡」(mirror) by the band SOUR.

You need to have the latest version of Flash Player and it only works in the Safari or Google Chrome browser. Connect with Facebook/ Webcam / Twitter would be much more fun playing it.

I think it's an amazing idea of making an interactive music video like this. Very cool.

It feels like I am participating it in too. With the Google map and all that interactivity, I think it's really well done.
