The use of animation can make your website outstanding or ridiculous. Let’s focus on the outstanding. Your website might be the only contact or the initial contact of your perspective clients and visitors. You better make an impact, a positive impact.
What is my call to action? What the heck am I supposed to do? A website that immediately urges the user to the action you desire them to take is going to stand out from the rest. Quality animation can help you with user-friendly interactivity that keeps them coming back.
Humans naturally recognize differences and amplify attention to those changes in their environment. Animation is an asset when used to bring a logo to life, even briefly, and when adding a bit of sparkle to improve the clarity of an active button.
Hans Rosling in California on statistics and using animation to make an impact of his presentation and speech. Go to minute 4:00 to see the animation being used.
I mentioned in my last post that the user should be able to get through the website and know what’s going on. A lot of animation can be a distraction and could cause the user to leave your site without completing the task you attracted the user there in the first place. The site should be as simple as possible to navigate. I read somewhere before that each page should look as if it were and serve as a possible landing page. I know I’ve often landed on something other than the “home” page and wondered how to get “home” for the substance and contact information. I really don’t like the feeling that the “contact” information is hidden from me. Maybe, a search engine feature is not such a bad idea, even for our 5 page project.
Without a clear purpose, how can a project be streamlined for success?
Organizational framework may call for a storyboard to help resolve a lot of confusion. A storyboard may just be what’s prescribed for a large project with different contributing divisions. Storyboards offer a visual identity for the script writers, developers, graphic artists, technical editors, and of course the client. With a visual reference for everyone to point to, omissions are more likely to be recognized and pointed out. With the use of a document control system, all users will be able to modify and add to the storyboard when required. Or, the users will be able to reference the storyboard to answer development questions. Without a visual reference, everyone could assume to be in agreement and find out later each had something different in mind. Again, saving time and money and maybe saving a few tears also.
Of course we all want dazzling websites. But, I’ve seen sites where maybe there is too much emphasis placed on the visual and not enough on the functionality of the site. I’ve looked at the site and wondered what the heck the purpose is of the site or what I was supposed to get from the site. So, planning is important to help alleviate some of the confusion met at the latter stages of development.
You might think you know your business well enough, but establishing a hard copy goes a long way to helping communicate to yourself and others about your company; services, purpose, goals and target market. Researching these topics/items will aid in the development process of your website and keep everyone on track. This will save time, money and help ensure your site ends up serving your needs.
As a developer, the website should stay within the bounds of your ability to create useful content while showing the website will work and care for the users’ demands. It’s great to have endless or boundless ideas, but even as a beginner, or because I am a beginner, I recognize that there are limits.
상진 : 늦었다!
I’m late!
유진 : 천천히 먹어. 체(滯, indigestion; dyspepsia; stomach disorders) 하겠어.
Slow down. You’ll get sick.
이거 마셔.
Drink this.
상진 : 아… 죽을 번 했다.
Oh, that was close.
로이, 나 2만원만 빌려줘.
Roy, lend me 20000 won.
로이 : 나 현금 없는데.
I have no cash.
상진 ; 유진아.
You-jin.
유진 : 내가 무슨 선배 은행이야? 맨날 나한테 돈빌려 달라고 그러게?
Am I your bank or what? You always ask me to lend you money.
상진 : 나 차비도 없고 밥 값도 없단 말이야.
You-jin, I have no money for the bus, lunch, etc…
아 빨리, 나 늦었단 말이야!
유진 : 이번 한번만이야.
Just this once.
상진 : 알았어.
Got it!
로이 : 형, 서두르지마.
Sang-jin, don’t rush.
유진 ; 근데 선배가 언제 수업에 늦었다고 서두르지?
Since when does he rush to class?
로이 : 몰랐어? 형 지금 소개팅 가는거야.
Didn’t you know? He’s off fo a blind date right now.
유진 : 뭐?
What?
무슨 소리지?
What was that?
로이 : 형 소리인 것 같은데?
I think it’s Sang-jin.
형, 왜 그래?
Hey, what happened?
상진 : 계단에서 굴러…
The stairs…
유진 : 넘어졌어?
You fell?
상진 : 넘어질 뻔 했어.
I almost fell.
유진 ; 뭐야? 넘어진 것도 아니면서 왜이렇게 비명을 질러댔어?
What was that? You yelled without even falling?
상진 : 야 그럼 너는 내가 계단에서 굴러 넘어졌으면 좋겠냐?
Then would you rather I tumbled down the stairs?
로이 : 그럼 왜 다시 돌아온거야?
Then why did you come back?
상진 : 계단에서 넘어질 뻔 하면서, 벽에 머리를 약간 부딪혔거든,
In the course of almost falling down the stairs, I slightly hit my head on the wall.
내 머리스타일 안망가졌냐?
How is my hair? Is my hair messed up?
로이 : 어.
no.
상진 : 후… 다행이다. 이 스타일 만드느라 두시간 넘게 공 들였거든.
whew, what a relief. because I spent more than two hours on my hair today.
나 간다~.
Well, I’m leaving now.
유진 : 허… 뭐야…

My goodness! It’s Roy’s birthday today. I almost forgot.
유진 : 선배! 오늘 로이 생일이야. 알고 있었어?
Hey! It’s Roy’s birthday today. Did you know?
상진 : 알고 싶지도 않아.
I don’t care.

Get up! The landlord isn’t here. Let’s prepare something for his birthday.
상진 : 할려면 너나해. 귀찮아.
If you’re gonna do it, you’re on your own. I don’t feel like it.
유진 : 선배 생일이 언제라고 했더라?
When did you say your birthday was?
상진 : 그래 알았다. 알았어.

상진 : 일주일 뒤에 기대할꺼야.
Can’t wait for next week.

Think about where you want to go.
유진 : 알았어.
Got it!
유진 : 흠…로이한테 뭐 사달라고 그러지?
hmm…What do I want? Chinese cuisine? shabu shabu?
상진 : 간만에(a simple expression of 오래간만에) 갈비 뜯으면서 포식했네.
I haven’t had gal-bi in so long. That was a great meal.
로이 : 형! 한국 갈비 너무 맛있어요.
Korean ribs are so delicious!
유진 : 로이!
Roy!
로이 : 유진아! 미안해! 깜박했어.
You-jin. I’m so sorry! I forgot.
유진 : 어떻게 나랑 한 약속을 잊을 수가 있어?
How could you forget having made plans with me?
로이 : 유진아, 미안해.
You-jin, I’m sorry.
로이 : 유진아, 미안해.
You-jin, I’m sorry.
지금이라도 나가서 사줄께. 가자!
I’ll take you to dinner now. Let’s go!

I’ll go out and get it for you.
유진 : 됐다구!
Forget about it!
로이 : 유진, 이것 좀 먹어봐.
You-jin, try to have this.
유진 : 흥!
hmmph!
로이 : 아 제발, 화 좀 풀어.
please, stop being mad at me.
유진 : 흥!
hmmph!
로이 : 아 유진, 나도 몰라. 마음대로 해!
ah Y-J, I give up. Do whatever you want!
유진 : 어~~? 한번만더 권하지. 배고파…
darn…why didn’t he ask me one more time? I’m starving…
로이 : 유진아!
You-jin!
유진 : 헉!? 몰라 다 너 때문이야!
What? This is all because of you!
—————————————————————————————————————
Wow… So long… huuu….
Wingcom형아~ I finished one episode… hahaha…. (There are too many;;;;)
I guess that you can understand everything!
but, additionally speaking, I guess that you can’t understand this perfectly…
유진 : 맨입으로?
no payback?
맨 is the word which means ” no, not, out ” ex) 맨몸(no clothes) 맨발(no socks)
입 is mouth as you know.
So… “맨입으로?” contains the following mean,
“Do you think that I don’t have mouth? Otherwise, You should pay back?”
But You should say this expression to your friends, not senior…

I hope that You can understand my fool english… ;;;;
