IDD 300- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

This week I looked at the interface for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The menu screen is comprised of six different elements. The title is shown prominently at the top center of the screen. There is a half of a rainbow behind the title in the center. In the upper right hand corner there is what appears to be an outhouse with a man standing in it held up and flying by a football shaped hot air balloon. Closest to the viewer, and in the lower right hand corner is the flying machine with the main characters seated in the car. Next to the car is the titles for the menu selections. Play, Play with Sing-a-Long, Scene Selection, Theatrical Trailer, and Languages are all in a bold serif font; each in a different bold color. In the background is a continuous view of the sky and moving clouds. The music playing is an instrumental “circus” sounding piece. All in all it is a very user friendly interface, even easy for children to operate. I would say that the clouds tend to become neaseating after a bit, but for many people they don’t view the menu for that long.
