Portfolio DVD

As a require of E-Media 312 I must create a portfolio DVD or website showcasing examples of my past work. Since I appear to be a proficient web designer I opted to design a DVD menu. Ironically, due to time constraints I designed the interface more like a website rather than a typical DVD menu. It still looks decent but lacks the razzle dazzle of the more impressive DVD menus.



I decided to use Adobe Encore which I've found to be an un-intuitive and awkward program. It makes simple things unnecessarily difficult. Here's but one example; if I want to change the layer order I can just drag the layer up or down in the layer palette, first I must select the layer I want to move, then go to the Edit menu then the Arrange sub menu and repeat till the layer is in the appropriate order. There are shortcut keys but this could be so easily remedied with a drap and drop system or buttons above the layer palette.
