Whoops

I nearly forgot about my little blogger. I shall post some more!

Okay, The first project.

Things that didn't work so well;
A lot of people became frustrated, particularly on the third or fourth page where there was little direction, you had to click around to find a way out of there. Most people gave up.

I was aiming to keep this problem to a minimum by having both a visual and a textual type narrative. The images from clicking around were meant to be aesthetically pleasing, so the viewer felt rewarded rather than hard done by. You could also read the different texts throughout the project and appreciate the visual nature of the concepts created in the text. If you were super smart you could connect how the images manipulate the content of the text, and as you go 'deeper' into the narrative, the text takes on image like qualities. I felt that the project did challenge these boundaries, both with creative writing in a slipstream sense and the relationship between the text and image. I also aimed to challenge the interactivity of the user, the writing style incorporated addressing the reader directly to hopefully force them to reflect on their role as a reader.

Perhaps this was a little to confronting and therefore why people gave up.
