Collection Website final

This is my final website for my collection. I revised my design and tried to add more fun and character to my site. I really liked how it ended up and I hope to continue working on it to get all the pages designed. :):)

My collection website

Collection website revised

This is the new direction I am going with for my website. I think that the gradient background gives it a sense of depth and still is able to go with all the colorful pez. I plan to have a movie clip playing on the homepage scrolling through my pez collection. Im excited that I have finally found a direction and am eager to move forward in my design.

wire framing for collection

digital sketches of information graphics

This would show my collection growth starting with me as a kid, teen, to now.

This would show value of the pez by price compared to value according to me.

This would be a timeline of when certain movies were released, or cartoons that were popular and the pez that were created around that time.

A simple size chart.

Map location where the pez were manufactured and the quantity I have in each location.

A progression of a character recreated over the years.

A journey through my collection that highlights key pez and events that happened when I received them.

A diagram of a pez with key facts about the specific parts of them.

A diagram to show how to open and load a pez dispenser.

ways to organize my collection

Here is an example of how I can organize progression in how a certain pez is remade over the years.

Here is an example of how older pez do not have feet on the bottom v.s. the new pez who have a footed bottom to them.

I could also organize pez according to their character groups. Like pirates of the Caribbean.

I could also do an organization based on color of the stems.

A new discovery I also made is I could organize based on location made. Each pez has the location in which it was made and I have seen several different locations such as Austria, China, Hungary, Slovenia, ect.

collection

For my collection website I am showing my pez collection. Here are a few ways that I have thought about organization:

1- Groups. (disney, looney toons, cars, ect.)

2- date made

3- Color

4- Price value

5- Value to me

6- How I got them

7- What meaning they have to me

8- size

9- box sets

10- random pez things (pez keychains, pens, toys, ect.)

11- function(some can be whistles, make noise when head is lifted)

12- Date I got them

13- No feet/feet

14- remakes of same pez

15- rarity

redo...again

revised concept/weblayouts/everything

mccoy roll over

opens up to bio (maybe have some work examples here)

Here is a little example of how transitions would work from page to page. The maps would have the same roll over effect as mccoy and vignelli. Once the maps would be clicked on it would show history of modernism for italy, history of post modernism for u.s.a. The names will have color roll overs that open up to the actual essays. I plan on having work pices in the open spaces on the bios. Still a work in progess.
