This is the class blog for "Publications : Digital" - the 3rd year Integrated Media studio for online and digital artists' projects at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto. The course is taught by Associate Professor Judith Doyle.
For my final project, I would like to make a website that focuses on using flash animation, as well as incorporating text. I am not sure exactly what I would like to do, I'm having a hard time thinking of something :( so far I have two rough ideas:
The first one that I would like to propose is perhaps to build a website that gives information about a social issue such as child abuse. I would want to set up the website, so that it starts with a short animation and then a menu would pop up that would allow you to learn some facts by clicking on the different issues.
The second idea that I have for this project is to focus on how different religions, cultures and the media play a role on the way women represent themselves. For example, in Islamic countries women are seen as always wearing a veil, and to some it is thought of as a form of oppression, in Christianity, women are seen to be less oppressed. I would think that I want to include animation that is perhaps more text based and I would want to have a menu pop up with different options to click on that would cover different aspects of this issue.
