We Choose The Moon
This interactive website looks at the historical Apollo 11 mission to the moon and recreates it in a series of animations and photographs, sort of in the style of a movie, however the user has the option to use the 'mission tracker' in order to skip to any of the different 11 stages. Following it chronologically however gives the audience a sense of realism, brought together by the factual Mission Transmission audio. The layout is very simple, with all the required information down both sides, and the navigation bar, in this case, the 'mission tracker' at the bottom. However, I believe this website is so effective due to the great animations and collections of images.

Uniqlo Lucky Machine
This site is used to advertise the new UK online Uniqlo store. It is an interactive pinball game that encourages users to play and visit the Facebook page, in order to win prizes, like £1000 to spend at the online store. Somehow, this game did not make me want to visit the store. The game seemed very slow and boring, i didnt even stay on it long enough to use my 3 lives. The pinball machine seemed very unimaginative and amateurish, however i liked the simple use of just red and white colours. A good idea to encourage users to visit a website, however it just didn't really make an impact on me.

Costumize.me
With Halloween coming up, this website makes shopping for a costume much more fun, not that i've ever had this problem. Even if you don't care about dressing up, this site is well worth a visit to look at some of the comical costumes, and ridiculous prices that you could pay for things. The website provides a pumpkin lighting up game, which seems irrelevant to the rest of the website, but still provides a few minutes of fun. The layout is very simple, but effective, with the navigation bar popping up from the bottom with a scroll bar for all the different themes and sections of the website. Some good animations make for a visually effective website.
