Monday we have guest critics, the design faculty from RISD coming in to listen to our proposals and see our work. I have been focusing on the history section of the website and doing a lot of research on how to visually show large chunks of time and information on a roughly 800x600 pixel area. I have 200 years where things are constantly happening, as well as information that goes back to 3 BC when people were first realizing how the eye works, which I want to show how the science/medical fields are tied into the idea of stereoscopy.
So I think now I am going to treat this as a visual information piece, maybe it would live within a web site, but I am not going to focus on building out an entire working website. I am thinking that the information has to be interactive and not just a passive movie-like experience.
"I first began to focus on the history section of the website I became aware that I was dealing with the 4th Dimension, time. As a designer interested in web design, interactivity, and motion graphics I thought that figuring out how to navigate through a vast amount of time and information on a screen was an problem that I was interested in solving. As of today I am heading in the direction of just trying to solve this problem and focusing less on the rest of the website. So my proposal might become: How do you show/navigate through time in order to show large amounts of information on a screen-based medium such as a website?"
