Good Examples of Interactive Design
The Good Food Fight - an excellent mix of content and interaction. The site is relevant and cleverly designed - each element on the page serves a purpose in the food fight game, so fun and information are well balanced.
National Grid - An excellent website which combines a quiz (content) with activities to do with your adopted virtual polar bear (interaction). It is engrossing and features a very wide range of interactive elements.
Turbochef - An interactive website designed to sell the benefits of this particular oven, this website makes good use of interactive elements and relevant imagery to outline the oven's benefits.
