IDD 300- Austin Powers: Goldmember

This week I chose to blog about the menu interface to the Austin Powers movie, Goldmember. I have not seen this movie, but having seen the other two I can tell that the interface corresponds well with the theme of the movie. The background is make up of swirling psychedelic female symbols. These symbols seem to morph from a fox like object into the female icon.

The title, Austin Powers in Goldmember is shown prominently across the screen in the middle. It is written in a golden color with a black stroke around it.

There are five different menu options to choose from. Play movie, InfiniFilm, Set up screen and Sound Options, Select a Scene and Need Help? Are options which the viewer can choose from. When the option is highlighted a gold star shows up to the left of the title.

To the left of menu options are pictures of Austin Powers and Foxy Cleopatra portrayed by Mike Myers and Beyonce Knowles. The pictures alternate at quick intervals to occasionally give the feel of movement of the characters.

The menus are similar to the main menu. The psychedelic theme is evident throughout. The backgrounds are different icons but are still full of movement. Different characters are shown on every page, also at alternating pictures. The most obvious link between the submenus and the main menu is the star that is highlighted next to the selected menu button.
