Week 9: Visual System

This week, based on suggestions from my mentor and classmates, I added more pages in the "About" section of the website. These pages provide a more detailed explanation of the structure and principles of the space elevator, allowing viewers to gain a more intuitive understanding of its construction. Additionally, I provide more pages in the "Space Observation" section. These pages showcase different constellations, celestial bodies, and special astronomical events observable during various Earth seasons, aimed at attracting more astronomy enthusiasts to the site. Furthermore, I created wireframes for the website based on the user flow and task flow I developed. This transformation process offered me a more tangible experience of the entire website's workflow and operation, which helped me to have a clearer mindset when designing the prototype later. While designing the pages about the space elevator's structure, I attempted to integrate the composition with the structure of the space elevator, hoping to make it more in line with the website's overall visual system.
