Production production

So after looking at endless code examples and tutorials, I think I've determined the layout and functionality of my page. Going from this example, I'll produce a large format image map that will be clickable. Once clicked, the image will display a bit of text from the Burnett book, my own interpretations, or just general musings on the image. A menu will hover over the image map, with items that include home, credits, contact and other pages as I build or find them. I plan on aquiring the images from my own collection, morguefile.com and Flickr Creative Commons. These are all royalty-free images, most only requiring attribution, which I'll put in the credits page.

Some things I will focus on:

• The relationship between the viewer and the image
• Visualization and Creativity
• Viewer as passive observer and image as origin of meaning
• Image as a representation
• The relationship between "reverie" and meaning
• Depiction and interaction

Some questions I will ask of the viewer when an image is selected:

• What drew you to this image?
• What was the first thing you thought when you viewed it? The second? The third?
• What experiences does the image remind you of?
• What experiences shaped how you feel/think about the image?

So now I have a road map of what I want to accomplish, and some real significant amounts of time to devote to it. More updates later!
