After a meeting on friday we've made a lot of progress which is great.
Whilst me and Jeff met up and started discussing layout ideas and looking at other websites, in particular the interactive website for the band "Gorillaz" and the "Plastic Beach" interactive game ( http://gorillaz.com/plasticbeach ), Amy and Anastasija went to the market and started collecting the primary photos so we could get a feel for what we could work with.
Having looked at these photos we then thought up the idea of starting at the doors of the market and showing a sort of virtual tour of the market, going from the doors to a wide open view or birds eye view map or the area, where the viewer can click on certain stalls and switch to a photo of that shop and find information on that stall.
At the photo of the stall certain objects in the photo will be interactive so the viewer can click on them and find more content such as interviews with the stall owners about the area and its history, examples of what they sell and so on.
As you can tell I think we're pretty much moving away from the abstract idea of the chest of drawers and going for a more simplistic approach to expressing our chosen area, but still keeping it interesting and interactive by having plenty of content and interactivity for the viewer to experience.
As I type this, Amy has been working on some sketches of how the website could look based on our discussions and the photos they brought back from the market, so pretty soon I'll upload these early plans and hopefully give you guys a better picture of what we have in mind for this project.
Also whilst waiting for Amy's sketches I'm going to work on a few storyboards for how the website to pan out from section to section, how the content could be visible to the viewer via sounds and highlighted areas etc. and any other aspects of design which might pop into my head.
All in all, things are going well :)
Take care,
Joe
