Final Project: Final revisions



Final Revisions:

1) Each drawing is set to play automatically when the next step is reached. Each drawing can still be replayed with the "show drawing button."

2) The intro has been condensed into one page.  It has the same text as the three pages collectively had before, yet puts more emphasis on the actual steps while keeping the number of pages without drawings to a minimum.

3) The "show drawing" and "previous" buttons are now disabled on the first page.  They were not supposed to be clickable, and now the mouse does not prompt them to be clicked either.

Beta Revisions


In this iteration of the final, the required materials for the tutorial are located on the first page.  I changed the font from Comic Sans MS to arial for its readability. The interface has been tweaked a little, now with the title of the tutorial, as well as each lesson in the upper right corner, above the text.  This way, the user is not forced to look in many different places for information. The lesson names have been simplified as well, indicating only which part of the face is drawn.  The buttons for navigating the pages have had their text replaced with arrows.  This way, fixing the kerning issue and simplifying the buttons themselves.  The "show drawing" button remains the same, albeit with different text, due to its specific function.

...Do my revisions make the interface more user friendly, and the program more effective in getting across it's information?
