by Where I’m at with the project
Currently, my project work has mostly consisted of delving into primary and secondary source materials and beginning to divide which materials I wish to utilize for the project. This has been done by sectioning off the sources I definitely plan to use for Southern Italy, Sicily, or North Africa. While this has been slow to start, it has begun to come along together considering most of the material I have gone through has already been utilized in a past digital project, and all the newer materials have been combed through. Furthermore, I have begun looking over my storyboard paper to help me digitally recreate and prototype what I want to do versus what I can actually do for the project.
Current issues I am having
A lot of my issues stem from the same major problem: both having too much research to go through and not being set on a platform. For the research, I have felt that I have overburdened myself in regards to what I want to put into my project. While having lots of material to go through is a good thing, I need to understand that having too much information will cause my audiences to lose interest. As for the platform, I am currently unsettled on what platform I wish to present my digital project on. While I know how I want to build it, I haven’t felt there’s a way I can properly build the digital project with a platform I have a basic understanding of.
Things that I am planning to do
For the next week, I plan to work on phasing out researching and finalizing sectioning off what resources I’m using for each section. Then I wish to being prototyping my storyboard digitally using Adobe XD. With the program, I want to visually see what sounds feasible and what I may need to adjust or remove entirely. Other than that, I want to also finalize what interactive and digital tools I wish to use for the project.
