prototype of UI of SciAnim2

This is prototype of the user interface I have designed for the SciAnim2 Project. You can view the finished SciAnim2 projects on the STAR Wiki.The navigator works by having three buttons on the right bottom corner of the page that people can control by going back , forward or just play the animation.The navigation its important because it lets you control to what page you want to go on the animation.

The tip will move spreading the bacteria on the petri dish making 3-4 lines then when you're done with the first part of of streaks throw the tip to the trash.Get another tip and make more streaks with it.Do NOT use the same tip for all the streaks because it will get contaminated and it wont work.

Three elements of good design are to make a good alignment with the text so that it makes it look more organized and not out of place.To keep it simple is another one so that its not messy with a lot of things in the same page everything on top of each other.Another one would be to pay attention to the detail so that the graphics make the animation look better.

welcome

My name is G Soto I'm a student at Science Innovation Academy at Castle Park High School  http://sites.google.com/site/siabiotech/
I will be using this blog as part of STAR to write about my animations and to upload them and my drawings.I am in SIA so that I could do better in school and get better in science.My favorite part of STAR is when we do fun animations and that we can draw on our books.
