One of the most difficult things to do is to be your own client, you never quite hit the target, or so it seems at times…but in rethinking the design and multi-purposes of my site I am happy to say that the resulting flexibilty, ease of use, and possibility to expand its varied content in a structured way feels like an important step in the right direction.
So here it is, in its modular glory, for which I am very grateful to the extremely helpful Ap at Alsjeblaft, from now on it’s all about visualising..;)
With young Darwin on a voyage around the world
I am developing a concept for an experiential website based on Charles Darwin and his epic journey aboard the H.M.S Beagle. This online interactive journey highlights key moments from his epic expedition, showing text fragments from Darwin’s diary.
Illustrated like a graphic novel to appeal to students not familiar with his work, the viewer can scroll the Beagle ship along the horizontal time device, travelling through the five years journey following the young Darwin in his exciting adventures . The site has extra features like a multiple answer quiz to test students, animated info-graphics and external links to further content.
