Client Project: Development feedback tutor


  • A novel idea, something that hasn't been really done before.
  • Make my own decisions on about the appearance, aesthetics of it. I have the foundations and the basic working elements. I now need to make it my own, my input will be what I get marked for.
  • Look around tag clouds and timelines and how good they are for usability. You have to make it look nice visually but make sure its usable for the audience. Maybe even test it on someone to see what they think!
  • Facebook timeline user interface
  • BBC Historical interactive timeline: dialogue boxes, CSS radius smooth borders, contrasting font size between heading/main font. COLOR coded timeline.Jqueryui Slider customisation plugin
  • Try matching background color with timeline key like in BBC, or use colored CSS/image based ribbons
User interface: The color on the timeline matches the slider background color

  • Don't forget that the core purpose is to DISPLAY information about Theatre performances (timeline), don't loose sight of that whilst trying to make it look visually exciting.
