Just been working on the functionality/look of my Uni Director Project. Basically, we have to create an interactive Director piece based on the book metaphor (turning of pages, linear progression, contents page etc) on a topic of our choice. I have chosen to do a virtual safari on the Big Five (elephant, rhino, leopard, lion, buffalo).

Each location on the safari will have subsections, film, photos, sound and information (pages within a chapter). These are what the buttons are on the left.

The logical step for the navigation (contents page) was to create a map.

Any pointers on the look/feel, usability issues etc, please let me know!

First image is with the map "closed", and the second is how it will look once it slides in. The map will have a "you are here" cross type thing on it.

anyone?

I think it's a really good concept mate. The designs are very nice too (you draw the map?) I'd be interested to see this as it progresses too,, so keep us posted.

But yeah, no crits really, go for it!

Seems to fit the bill. Not sure how clear the buttons on the left are though. For example, an i in a circle normally represents information - yours just looks like a random page. It could mean anything. Apart from that, nice.

yup, drew the map myself (photo manip for the background, then the brush tool for the roads)

thanks stick, will make the buttons more clear
