PROPOSAL

The idea i have chosen for my final project is a realization of a lost identity. I was looking into the aspect of of finding deceased relatives and friends and then creating a webpage based around there lives in an attempt to show to the world of who they really were and how they can still show there identity even when they have passed on.

This showed a few draw backs and errors which would have made the entire project very dificult as the obvious lack of material at my disposal restricted my process, and wouldn't allow any complete new images to be made. Also last but not least i was afraid of not giving justice to the individual and having a backlash effect, only with more time could i even begin to grasp there true identity.

So now i created a new theme, i looked at inspiration from scifi cult classics, new generation ideas and run of the mill blockbusters. This would be a web page that the individual was involed in an acciendent, there memories lost, only an empty shell remains. Distant and confused they stumble back into there room. Objects and items trigger distant memories and flash backs. you the viewer is sucked into there lifes, exploring there life through there eyes.



This is my web site preview,
i wanted a structured (hierarchical) layout using an entrance page then moving on to a home or hub page. I chose this because i found it to be the simplest and most efficient layout available.


After an effective entrance page, i wanted to use a parallax gallery of a room to progress through the room up until the desk is highlighted and zoomed in on.

once at the desk each little symbol on the desk would change shape, dimensions or colour to indicate to the responder that it is a link were it will transport the viewer to a new preview image then onto the last discovered image.




So from the objects discovered on his desk, these would link to a distorted view of the object which would trigger the next phase (the memory). As you explore these images you begin to find out different aspects of his life wife, kids, work,etc. Then finally he realizes why he tried to forget then on the second home page there is a new icon on the desk, a small object (possible a pamphlet) that links in his memory and then the user has a chose to leave this life and forget or be brought back to it and try to fix it. the first attempt failed and then this would be the very last page, a split/forked road on which to go down fix the issues or just start again.


This is the sort of object i mentioned earlyer, obviously i would redo this image with a new frame and photo but the idea still serves. After clicking on this (flash or a colour change would indicate the link) it would then jump to the memory. For this example i wanted this happy photo then to be brought to an image or possibly movie of the two fighting or going through hardship. This is one issue i wanted to show 'that object can have different effects on different people'. The couple looks happy but the truth is the couple is on the edge of break up.




the image below is just a screen shot of Donnie Darko film webpage. i quite liked the set up/structure of a progression into the life of Donnie Darko and his unstable mental ability.
