The Handy Test

A unique test made into a website, where users can test how much they know about DIY.

I was drawn to this site as the simplicity use of block colours, typography and silhouetted images. The test is self explanatory, therefore any user can go onto the site and understand what to do exactly.

I found the small cartoons that were shown, made the site fun and exciting to play, rather than dull and uncolourful like most tests would be like. Most rollovers were great, with a simple change of colour or a slight movement notifying the user that they can click the object.

It could even be argued that this is a glorified slideshow, with some small buttons, which I feel is true. However the way the designer has engaged the user and used great colour, illustration and typography, the slide changes are not seen as old fashioned or boring. This is a great example of how a site can be produced in this way.
