Interactive Narrative: www.seabrookscrisps.com

I like this website because of the way it is all laid out. It has graphics at the back and towards the front and at the back of the page. It is made to look like a village set out in the hills. As you move the mouse around the page the different icons become bigger and are highlighted telling the user what each button links to. The menu is spread out all over the page around the village making the user want to explore around the page and use the different links, however there are also quick links at the top and at the bottom of each page, ensuring that certain users who don’t want to spend time browsing the site can get to where they want quickly.

I really like the images on the website. Most of the images are used as links and also move when highlighted by the mouse. The images are really big and clear and easy to see what each thing is. Towards the top of the home page there is a plane that flies past on a loop displaying a banner advertising the different flavours of the crisps. This really catches the viewer’s eye.

When a link is clicked on the page becomes dull and closes into the centre. The new page then opens and brightens from the centre. There is also video on each page, its only little things, like a crisp van driving down the road or the sun’s rays rotating but it adds to the atmosphere of the website.

There are also a few sounds on the website, however, it is mostly background noise. When outside in and around the village environment there are bird noises and also the occasional car noise. The plane also makes a noise when it flies overhead.

When in the Seabrooks shop when a certain packet is highlighted, the shop keeper tells the viewer what each flavour is in a Yorkshire accent and the product is highlighted and becomes larger.

The menu navigation is similar to the Kanye West website. The way the links are on the page is the same, an outside environment which allows the user to freely navigate through the website without being given a specific menu layout. When each object is clicked it becomes highlighted and then each new page is opened. By having the menu set out in a village it encourages the user to browse through the site and click on each different link.


The website is advertising and selling a food product.
