so i just realized!

So I was showing my friend the websites tonight, I realized that I need to tell you how to use/navigate the sites!
My project was an exploration on the interfacing of FAMILIES OF PICTURES (comparing and contrasting) for webpages, not on just any interfacing. Therefore, it was intended that one would look mostly at the pages with the families of pictures. Other pages were put in to give context and some sense of realism. But this also means that I did not create entire websites (I did not create an entire Facebook-like or Google-like website), but rather, I segregated out the Photos part of the websites, and simply showed buttons that referenced other parts of the websites.

I will clarify all of this also when I present.
Thanks!
I hope the following helps some!

Also, note! I will be putting a Word Doc. of the guidelines under:

THANKS!!

GUIDELINES FOR USING THE WEBSITES

SEARCH-ENGINE WEBSITE:
• Roll-over the mouse over the pictures.
• Select any of the pictures by clicking on the picture.
• You may Either choose to click on the source URL or image URL

SOCIAL NETWORKING WEBSITE:
• Click on any of the pictures on the album home page.
• This brings you to a page with 3 images.
• Click on the small images to look at other pictures.
• You may click on “tiffali” in the bar near the top to see a profile page. (This page just gives the website context, although it is not a page with a family of pictures.)
• If you clicked on “tiffali” you can click on the “The Dominican Republic!” picture in the “Albums” bar near the bottom of the page to return to the album home page.

PRODUCT-SELLING WEBSITE:
• The first page you see just gives you context so you know what the site is about.
• Click on “Products” to see the page with a family of images.
• Click on one of the first three pen images to see a detail page of one of the products. The other images do not lead to pages, because the first three already demonstrate the idea.
• To return to the page with the family of images, click on “products” again.
• To see other detail pages, click on one of the images under “you might also want”
• To return to the homepage, click “home.”

PORTFOLIO WEBSITE:
• The first page gives you context so that you know that you are entering one project out of a designer’s collection of projects.
• Click on the first image for “a scholar’s residence.”
• Click on any of the images on the left to see a larger image of it on the right.
