For my major project for my MA in Design, I explored the electronic book and completed a series of media pieces based on different chapters from J.B. Priestley's Delight. It was an investigation on how media could be used to illustrate and inform the written word. 'Fountains' is a 1024x768 pixel Flash piece rendered with high definition video.* Each 'page' features a one minute piece that is an amalgamation of animated collages, typography, sound, and video. As the reader clicks to a new page the text appears and builds in conjunction with the imagery. The music was produced with various samples from The Blue Hungarian Band. Below you can view the fully animated title sequence and screen shots from the pages.*
For more information regarding this subject matter, please check out my written dissertation by clicking on the link MA Design Dissertation.
* Our apologies for the following screen shots that are an admittedly limited representation of the final piece. We currently have a team of engineers, mathematicians, and alchemists working on downsizing 'Fountains' into a smaller more web-manageable size. Stay tuned.
