While peer reviewing other student’s websites I’ve gained some new ideas and aspirations for what I want my Finals to look like. I figured I’d share some of these concepts in the minor chance that it might also inspire others.
The first concept that was brought to me in a peer review was having an individual section with its own scrolling content, similar to a slideshow gallery. I thought that this was quite clever, especially in a microsite, as it could save a lot of vertical space and possibly allow for more creative freedom.
Here are some resources that explain how to integrate slide-scrolling and slideshows into a website:
Horizontal Scrolling Containers & Slideshows (this one involves JavaScript)
Another idea that I found from browsing through real websites of similar topics from mine was “Parallax Scrolling”. This website in particular uses it quite well in my opinion, so I wanted to also see if I could pull this concept of in my own project. While researching, I’ve noticed that there’s a few different versions of Parallax scrolling. Some involve the background moving more slowly than the foreground, while others have the background stay completely still.
Here are some more beginner-friendly resources that I’ve found and plan on using:
Parallax Scrolling with CSS only & Another Version of Parallax Scrolling.
