Project 4 Concept

http://duplos.org/ - This first website I found is very simple in its design with simple shapes moving and linking to different pages which is what I am interested in doing.

http://www.zasmakujelegancji.pl/ - This website is the website for Martini Asti. It is beautifully animated with flash with everything moving and interaction with the viewer of the website. What I thought would be a good example from this website is images moving into the picture and becoming stationary. Also there is a nice flow between pages and at least one thing on the page moves.

http://www.infinitcolours.com/ - This website is completely bizarre to me. It is interactive in the way that you can change the background image on the page and the navigation is just these moving strings that bring you to other pages. What I wanted to use from it is the background style, it is very vibrant and seems to move but doesn't, the picture looks very natural.

Proposal:

The memory I want to work with is one from last summer being in the Thousand Islands. The reason I chose the memory because of our dog Bailey, last summer was the last summer we got to spend with him before he was diagnosed with brain cancer and had to be put down. It was the first memory I thought of when the assignment was first given. The memory is of the day me, my boyfriend, his parents and Bailey (the dog) went out on the boat for the entire day cruising through the water ways of the Thousand Islands. Bailey, being the outrageous dog that he was, was at the front of the boat barking his life away yet cuddling up and licking my face every time the boat broke through the waves because he was scared. I want to recreate the images and sounds of that day. The mist of the water splashing me and Bailey, the sound of the boat engine, the sound of whirl pools we went through, Bailey's excitement and eagerness to jump in the water, the gorgeous sunny august weather and Bailey barking and crying and wagging his tail in excitement. I want to use imagery of Bailey, who was a golden retriever, of the boat and of the water. I want to include sounds of the boat and water and of a barking dog to communicate the feeling. The website itself, I want the pages to be in random order so the viewer can choose which page to go to when since the memory doesn't require me to keep it in sequence.
