INSTRUCTIONS 



Thematic Interactive Website Proposal for Brand Engagement. A thematic interactive website is a website that focuses on a specific theme or concept with the aim of incorporating interactive elements to interact with users. Most such websites utilize multimedia such as videos, animations, interactive graphics displayed on the page, or other clickable elements which have interactive components that provoke the user. This dynamic experience is meant to keep the user interested in addition to the thematic concept. Themes in such websites vary from educational, cultural, promotional campaigns to product launch. For example, a thematic interactive site could be a museum. Users can go through a virtual exhibition space through interactive tours, games simulation, or questionnaires. In the event that it is a movie, the site can simulate movie universes offering virtual tours through time and space, or any other subject previously created in the movie. The aim of any such site is to keep the user engaged in the medium through interactive exploration.

    Visual References
    I am currently very interested in this Japanese-retro commercial style that also looks somewhat like Japanese comics. I find it very engaging and unique if I apply this style to my website.

    After a discussion with Mr. Shamsul, I have decided to have the origins of Garfield as the theme of my thematic website. Hence, I did research to make the content of the website that I will make. 

    1. Main Page Title: The Rise of Garfield

    2. Jim Davis' Background
    • Davis’ early life and influences (growing up with cats on a farm).
    • Career before Garfield, including work on other comic strips.
    3. Creation of Garfield
    • Why Davis focus on a cat (seeing a gap in comics centered around cats).
    • Garfield’s initial character concept: lazy, cynical, and food-obsessed.
    • The inspiration behind Jon Arbuckle and Odie.
    4. Garfield’s Debut
    • Launch of Garfield on June 19, 1978.
    • Initial reception and how it grew in syndication.
    5. Evolution of Garfield
    • Changes in the art style and character development over time.
