For our project, I started creating the home page by collecting lots of images we will use for the collage and, cropped them all in Photoshop and turned them all into Polaroids to give it a better look. We also decided to place a map behind the pictures to show exactly what areas have lots going on. So far the home page looks like this, It's still under construction and many more photos need to be added to it.
Once completed, we can start to animate certain venues and places of interest and start turning them into links and create the pop up boxes which will contain all the visual information.
One quote I found this week which I felt really links to our Project comes from 'Immediacy, Hypermediacy & Remediation' by Jay David Butler & Richard Grusin.
Howard Rheingold 'Claims that at the heart if Virtual Reality is an experience - the experience of being in a virtual world or remote location'.
This is what we are trying to capture with our site, by creating this virtual expierence of Bristol, we hope that the users can really get the feel for the nights or events we review and see personally if it would be their cup of tea.
