New layout

We Recently Changed the layout of our CD rom, initially we were going to have 10 pages and the navigation through the pages was going to be a 360 degree shot of a setting, we were then going to screen shot 10 frames of the 360 rotation and use the screen shots as the backgrounds of the pages so as the user clicks onto the next page the camera will travel left or right to the next page.

Mike got talking to one of our teachers and Broke up the 10 pages into 4 sub sections and showed us the idea, we all agreed that this new layout is better and more suited to our CD rom.
Our new layout is going to follow the same principle however instead of having one main section which has all the 10 pages on we are now having 1 main section and 4 sub sections so we are going to film four other settings as well as the main setting for the user to travel around.
The main section is the only place the user can get to the other four sections, so if the user is on a sub section they can't travel straight to another sub section they will have to first go back to the main section then to the desired sub section.
Here is a diagram to help explain the layout



As you can see in the image the home page is the main page and the red arrows show where the user can travel to and from, the home page will have 4 pages on with buttons to the other 4 sub sections and the sub sections will have pages within them with a link back to the home page.
We believe this layout will offer an interactive environment for the user to travel around and get information/ entertainment along the way.
