Task Eleven - Doraemon Fansite


(i drew this, in my spare time - how c¬.¬l am i?!)


Well...as some of you may know, DORAEMON’s ma man! I would give a kidney for that cat – no hesitation, but he wouldn’t need one, because, get this, he’s a ROBOT! What genius could have created such a complex character you ask? Well, if you go onto this site --- http://doraemon.wingsee.com/index.html --- you can see that Hiroshi Fujimoto was the visionary behind East Asia’s take on Mickey Mouse.


Although not profession in appearance this fan site represents everything Doraemon does – fun, fun, fun!!! The most unusual thing that sets this site apart from other sites is the theme tune, which plays whilst navigating throughout the site. Scrolling down the page allows you to read an introductory paragraph written by the creator about the Doraemon franchise, and eventually to 6 links which display-

Information on the main characters
Pictures and desktop wallpapers
Links to other fan sites
The option to sign the guest-book
The option to read the guest-book

The option to read about the sites creator and his other interests

When signing the guest-book you are required to put down you email address so that other fans can read your comment and perhaps contact you allowing a mini-Doraemon community to form. Merchandise can also be bought from one of the site on the links page and a new DORAMAIL program has been set up for hard-core fanatics, which allows fans to email each other using a Doraemon themed free web-based messaging service.
