I created a mashup (NSFW or for life, if you are scared of otaku) for my DTC 477 class, basically we learned how to use APIs to create a topical website. I decided to do mine with anime elements, such as flickr images, a Google map with points for anime conventions, anime stores, etc. The last element is from twitter, which lists all the anime related tweets.
It was pretty fun, and I ended up spending too much time on it because I was really interested in the Google Maps API. I think I can use what I learned to create some cool tricks using the chart API for my database project at my job. I’m really excited about it, and the cool part was seeing how everyone expressed themselves through their sites.
If you did one, please post your url, I’d love to get inspiration from my fellow graphic designers.
