Watchmen’s motion comic web site opens up with a very neat video before going to the main page. On the main page their are 6 different groups of animated objects that serve as links to other pages. When clicking on the gallery link, a gallery of images pop up that can be scrolled through, this gallery spins and floats around and is very uniquely designed. The images are all comic panels in bright color that match with the bright yellow text while contrasting to the dark background. The main problem for this page is that there is no link back to the main page, which makes it very inconvenient for browsing through the rest of the site. The character, DVD information and video pages are also set up in the same way as the gallery; spinning thumbnails and larger windows to view the content. Once again there are no links back to the main page on these pages. 

The moving interaction of the site is very interesting to look at but also make the links hard to click on as they sporadically spin around on the pages. The spinning needs to definitely be toned down a bit. At one point I had to refresh and reload the page in order to get the links to stop moving so I could click on one. Another main problem for the page is that I could not find links that go back to the home page. This is very annoying for navigating through the page. The overall design and look for the site was very nice however, the comic panels popped out on each page with bright color. It is a shame that the navigation is so bad because this site has a lot of potential.
