While talking to Professor Glover in my vision for my digital project, she gave me\u00a0the term\u00a0“interactive poetry book” as a descriptor. This helped me to conceptualize a digital space that pairs image and poetry in the same way that\u00a0The Sweet Flypaper of Life\u00a0<\/span><\/i>and\u00a0The Sweet Breath of Life\u00a0<\/span><\/i>does. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I did some browsing on the internet for sites that replicate the kind of effect I would like my digital space to have and I came across\u00a0<\/span><\/span>http:\/\/whiteboard.is\/work\/<\/a>. I think this site works because it is user friendly and the transitions between images as I scroll are very smooth.<\/p>\n

The background of the homepage is a looping mini-film. This\u00a0gives the site dynamism as a first impression. If the technology allows it, I would like to have a looping mini-film of my Oshun dance as the introduction to my portion of the digital space.<\/p>\n

\"Homepage\"<\/a>

Homepage with moving background.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Menu<\/a>

Menu bar takes up the whole page which makes navigation clear and gives an interactive feel.<\/p><\/div>\n

The text on the site is bold and minimal while the images in the background take the lead in capturing and maintaining my attention for more than a few seconds.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The use of a strong image for the background<\/p><\/div>\n

In the absence of images, they backgrounds are bright, solid colors to bring my attention to the words.<\/p>\n

\"Solid<\/a>

Solid color background used to draw attention to text<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u00a0also like how this site makes use of image, text, composition and design to create the aesthetic below.<\/p>\n

\"Combination<\/a>

Combination of image, text and design<\/p><\/div>\n

I will draw inspiration from the elements of this site when\u00a0\u00a0curating my digital space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
