3. Create Your Opening Menu (Index) Interface

This will be the first thing a visitor to your portfolio will see. It should first introduce you and your portfolio, and then present a menu of options from which the person can choose. You can use HyperStudio, PowerPoint, or even HTML to create this interface. Choose the program you feel most comfortable using. With all three, you will essentially be creating links to your projects saved in your Desktop folder OR URL links to your website and efolio work.

1. Create at least a two card stack.
2. Use the first card to introduce your portfolio (and yourself?)
3. Time this card to go to the next card after sufficient time has been givento read your introduction
    Go to the Objects Menu and choose Aboutthis card
    Use the Arriving at this card option to bringup the Actions dialog box
    ClickUseHyperlogobutton  

Enter this script:         wait 600         movenext

Click Enter and close the Programming Window, saving the changes to script         (note: 600 = 10 seconds, so adjustas needed ... 60= 1 sec, 120=2 seconds, etc)

4. Create buttons with links on the second card to your projects:

For Inspiration and PowerPoint, use the Another Program option For your HyperStudio project, use Another Stack For your website and efolio, use Go to URL For your KidPix, make a new card where it can be played asa movie

5. Save this stack with an appropriate name (like Click Here First or StartHere) inside your Desktop folder

6. Save again, this time as a Powerpoint Show withanappropriatename(like ClickHereFirst or StartHere) inside your Desktop folder. (should be a .pps file)

This can be done in a manner similar to your webpage assignment, with an opening page with its menu of options. You could name this page as Start Here.htm or something similar. The person viewing your portfolio will be using their webbrowser to look at your portfolio.

You may choose to open your Inspiration outline.htm page and create a link to its accompanying .jpeg map. Or,. you could add the map as an image to thatpage.
