look at this website..
www.dynamicdrive.com and then you are going to click and look at everything...and then (again) you are going to write about how you could change, alter, modify and make the things you find there your own...pick six and write about them.....about what they could be used for on your pages....

This website was very good to get ideas for the website that i am making, it has so many cool ideas and little extras that you can add to your website to give it an edge... things like scrolling toolbars, text animation, calenders scrollers and little mouse followers... most of the extras are pretty dodgy and would probabally make your webpage look cheaps or tacky like one of those web sites that contain heaps of pop ups (and doesnt everyone hate them!!!) which could distract or iritate the user but some are awsome the following ones are my top 6
Image on Mouseover Effects ----> Here..Spotlight effect.. This one is different i have never seen it on a webpage before. its basically a dark page but your mouse cursor acts like a torch..whenever you move it arounf the page it lights up what you are trying to look at.. this function could be good if your webpage was like a maze, or you wanted it to be a bit challenging for the user. it would be a good effect as a game feature as well...... to make this feature my own i could change of modify the colour of the screen for example if i didnt want it to be black i could change it to pink. or some sort of other bright colour. To get the feature on your webpage as far as i know all you need to do is copy the style sheet coding and paste it into your own coding next to where it says head and then copy the rest of the coding to where it says Body on your own page... it seems pretty straight forward and its cool that its so easy to copy and paste...
Image on mouse over effects--->here...highlight image script.
this graphic is basically dull pictures but when you run your mouse cursor over them they trun really bright .. this would be good to use if you had lots of icons to click on but didnt want your page to look cramped.. i would make this my own by copying the coding and modifying the graphics to words or links that needed to be clicked on....
The dynamic calender... This one would useful if you had a website where you needed to plan something. For example a travel agent website or Virginblue... this calender is easy to use and has features to let you jump forward and back a month... i could modify this into my own website by changing the colours and adding special days of the year.... for example if i was a travel agent i could show peak seasons for certain coutries at different time of the year using differnt colours or by having mulitple calenders for each country...
Text animator:: This one is basically like credits that play at the end of a movie.. it starts boldly at the bottom and fades to the top. it works quite effectivly and could almost be mistaken for the star wars introduction.. To modify and make your own you could add your name or information you wanted displayed like a mission statement or something and have it playing at the intorduction to your website instead of having a countdown or something.. again the colours could be changed to make it look different...
3d spinning message: this one grabs your attenetion because it takes over the whole screen and then text spins around over the content of the webpage like a different layer...its transperent which is good and doesnt last to long which is good becuase it would get annoying pretty quick.. i think its a good attention grabber but wouldnt be to useful otherwise..
the Matrix text effect this one was my favourite so i left it to last... the MATRIX effect.. everyone is familiar with the falling green letters that make up the matrix... this could be incorporated and modified again with different colours.. but you could also make it so th letters can be hitting something and making sentences that relate to what the webpage is about...
