City of Nanaimo (British
Columbia, Canada)
I have had this site bookmarked for a while. This menu (size reduced)
is created in Flash, and has terrific mouseovers. The colored segments
change to a photo with a description of the information in that selection
appearing in the lower rectangle (cut off in this sample).
The other navigation graphics on the page are not exact duplicates
of the main graphic, but represent the same visual idea. (The quick
links shown here actually appear to the right of the main menu on the
site.) The main graphic would not reduce to the bullet size well. It
is often necessary to design a variation of a graphic when extreme enlargement
or reduction is needed.
The designer has taken a very simple shape and created an entire look
for the site. (This could be done with a dingbat - see the dingbat
tutorial.) Construction is really quite simple - a little depth
and a graduated fill to a simple outline, but the effect is beautiful,
full of life and very effective as a navigation tool.
