Freewrite Assignment #1

2-3 pages spaced at 1.5 in a normal font

Should cover two of the experimental interfaces from the class blog:
http://2007stocktonintronewmedia.blogspot.com/2007/01/experimental-websites.html

Should include the following issues:

  • general description of the piece as if you are writing about it for someone who has never seen it
  • description of analogies that are used in the piece (i.e. what did the designer use to make it more easy to understand, like in our discussion of the desktop). BE INVENTIVE. A lot more is happening that what seems apparent at first.
  • possible uses for such a device or interface
  • speculation as to "what is happening behind the interface." This seems the hardest to grasp for some of you, so don't sweat it. We'll go over what I mean by this in class.

Look at all of the interfaces before you decide which one you want to write about.
