Concept:
My project will be a visual description of the neighborhood of Pusan residential hall. The opening of this project is a map, and the users can explore each site deeper one by one. It will use comics, photos and videos. It will contain various kinds of interaction, including clicking, scrolling, keyboards and a small game.
I want to make a both narrative and real (not imaginary) space for my project. So I choose a very familiar and daily topic — my neighborhood. I think my project is a good way to tell the audience what life in Pusan looks like, it should be a easy but interesting topic for students living in Jinqiao or Jinyang. They will compare their life with mine automatically and unconsciously. Also, for students also living in Pusan, it should also be fun to find some similarity in our life. In each case, this project will be a topic worth exploring for the users.
Sources:
This is one of the websites we learn from the class. I really like its topic which is her neighborhood. And I like the way I explore it each site gradually and then go to the next site. It is the inspiration of my project. I think its content is daily and normal, but the way it narrates is interesting and attractive. So I want to try to apply this pattern to my own neighborhood. While that project is a complete video project, I want to make mine a various one, which contains comics, photos and videos.
This is another website we learn from the class. I like its design to put a red spot over each important site. Also, I like the process I become closer and closer to one site and finally see some clear pictures of that site. I also want to make a birds-eye map like this. However, instead of a realistic one in that website, I want to paint a cartoon map. And I will apply its “step by step pattern” in my project. And the final step of each site will be a kind of interaction.
