I am Better at creating Storyboards Now Because

Extensive practice, and then seeing what the design actually looks like when translated from paper to the screen this semester has given me a much better perspective on storyboarding. For instance, on my design for the Sutherlands Flooring webpage, my original storyboard had a group of pics in the center, and links around the edge to the various sub-pages. After I actually built this, looked at it, and had a couple of other people look at it, it was obvious that this approach wasn't the best, even though it look pretty good on paper. The graphics in the center took the viewer's whole attention, to the point that people said they didn't even notice the satellite links until I pointed them out. Because of this, and other suggestions, I redesigned it with the pictures in the middle larger, and they themselves being the links. When something in the center is intended to grab and hold attention, that thing needs to have an importance equal to it's attention grabbing value; in this case, the center-stage pics also being the links.
