I visited The Simpson's website and learnt an effective way of communicating larger sections of text.
If was important that I understood the purpose of frames. These could be used to divide the review into separate regions.
I could continue to make use of tabs within each subsection of the review. Alternatively I could signpost the reader to sections manually e.g see section 5.2
Rather than using text on links I could use a coordinated set of colour-coded symbols. These colours should not be arbitrary, and should be intrinsically related to the site section. E.g. The Simpsons = yellow. Peppa Pig = pink. Ben10 = green etc.
Difficulties with this arise as both Spongebob and The Simpsons are yellow, likewise Peppa Pig and The Bratz both strongly use the colour pink. I was inspired by navigation on Postman Pat’s website which used icons of the characters to navigate the different areas.
Next - it is necessary for me to implement what I have learnt and to discuss a possible report structure - this will form the content of my next blog post.
