Animals of the Arctic Website

The Thought Process

As someone who’s always been fascinated by both computer science and biology, I wanted to create a project that would merge these interests. This resulted in the creation of an interactive “Animals of the Arctic” dashboard. I used JavaScript to implement image mapping functionality, allowing users to click on different areas of the Arctic landscape to discover various animals and their facts.

One of my favorite features is the audio component – users can click on a button to hear the calls of different Arctic animals. My goal was to present educational content in a clean, engaging format that would be easy for users to navigate and understand.

Areas of Improvement

While I was pleased with how the project turned out, there’s always room for improvement. I could improve the design by making certain interactive elements, like buttons, more prominent and easier to spot. Additionally, I see potential to expand the JavaScript functionality to create more interesting and interactive features. This could include optimizing the responsiveness of the design to ensure it works well across different devices and screen sizes, which was a problem that arose multiple times during development.
