"Narrative iPhone App"
Brief:
A comic book inspired narrative iPhone application, which would feature two sets of written dialogue - one in English and the other in Japanese. The user could swap one dialogue file for the other at any point via a popup menu. My objective with this proposal was to combine narrative structure, with Japanese language text in a form, which would function as an opinionated and non-comprehensive guide to my experience in Japan. The guide-like qualities would be manifested within a transparent overlay, which would provide facts and data relating to settings and situations presented in the narrative.
Results:
This proposal reached a "paper" level of completion - the interactive properties were detailed in flow charts and schematic diagrams, while the visual form and information layout were conveyed through style-frames. My lack of programming skills proved to be an unavoidable obstacle at this stage, once again; however, my impetus posed far greater complications. I was in the market for an academically viable thesis project, yet personal motivation and creative output were not compatible elements within my current body of work.
