Pete Res video

Okay, so I smoothed out a lot of things. It's not perfect. But I think I saved us from having to re-shoot Pete! Let me know what you guys think!

Using Flash with "Tell Me a Story"

With this New York Times project, they look at what is at the end of each subway line. The use of the subway map paired with the use of flash with the pop-up screen to show the video, could be useful with our project!

Combining a bunch of pictures...Lens Blog Moment in Time

Here's an example of how a bunch of stories are combined onto one page. I think it's an interesting page that allows for multiple images to be seen and has the viewer become more involved through the interaction.  Moment in Time

Splash Page

This is kind of like a 2 dimensional map from a street view rather than aerial view, that scrolls through its history in locations in a bold, graphic way. Maybe instead of text we could have a thumbnail or video/.gif clip. It draws your attention and wants you to explore more. It could be a great way to start getting into stories while gaining a little bit of background about the whole magazine.


I like the feel of this site. The animation that starts is intriguing and adds a little suspense for the content that follows. It's not overly Tim Burton-y but it has enough of the dark, twisted feel that it seems appropriate. I enjoy the movement when you click on other pages, adding to the experience like you are going through a physical space. I think we could have a little more oomph in the opening splash, but we should definitely keep in mind tone and suspense that will make people want to see more content.
