The final stretch

Finally finished just going to wait for the presentation now...

A version finsihed

woohoo

progression of final idea

So its still going to be contextual space but after having a chat with Gianni i've decided that his right and i do need a form of linkage between the pages; after a lengthy debate with myself, i settled on the idea of using the briefcase man as the link.

His sort of symbolises a journey and i'm going to make him multiply as you delve deeper into the site; a kind of "space is relative" statement. Time to get to work!

pop up window

having a bit of trouble trying to size the window correctly... I'm trying to have it so that the main site appears in a popup and the javascript just doesn't work in safari but is ok for both internet explorer and firefox

Final idea

My final site is going to be about space as a context; but to link the idea together it will also be a sort of journey following the suitcase through different settings exploring how the same thing can look and feel different depending on where is it as much as what it is around.

Finished the first few pages i think, there will also be a text element to the pages. Proposing questions. The site will be more about the journey rather than any single page by itself

concept...

So, a series of pictures like these where i have a recurring image in different situtations and how the same shape and thing could be so obvious in one space and totally hidden in another. How one shape could mean so many different things. Clcking on it will lead you to the next page.

I'm not too sure but at the moment it's an ant farm and at the end i was thinking that each ant could have a link to a differnt interpretation of paradise.

I'd probably have an entrance page that makes the first image appear in a pop up and the subsequent pictures load in there.

Final Project Proposal

I've settled on the idea of contextual space. How any given space feels and what it means is really determined by the context in which it sits. Using a perhaps over simplified analogy; a window is only a window, it means nothing until you know what is on the other side. Equally, what is on the other side means something different to everyone, the meadow outside could be open and warm for one person and foreign and cold to another.

My idea very much follows the same route as 99rooms, I want to constrain the viewer to a certain path. But at the same time, they should feel like they have a choice. I want to have a recurring image hidden inside a series of different images, such that the viewer will search through what is front of them (i think this adds depth to otherwise flat images) before proceeding. 

made a little flash slideshow but can't upload it....

will put them up as separate images or change it into .mov or something when i get home
