Simple Website

Evocative HTML

Remote-Local

Collection




For this project, we were asked to create a simple website that should be about an event that happened in the last ten days. It could have been any event, it didin't matter how relevent or irrelevant it was.

I chose to talk about the more than 100 fires that Chile suffered during the end of January. The fires destroyed a vast amount of farms, national parks and houses.

I decided to use the browser window as an interactive tool for the user, so, as you change the size of it, you see how the pattern created changes and gives the illusion of fire moving. As you click on the links you start understanding the gravity of the situation as well.

We were asked to create an interesting and surprising interactive experience using only HTML.

Basing the subject on the previous project, I chose to talk about the more than 100 fires that Chile suffered during the end of January. I based my website on the idea of this fires being started intentionally, and how I could be able to create a sense of frustration.

For the feeling of frustration, I conducted a series of questions that would always lead you to a worst ending than the one that you were hoping for.

We were asked to create a site or composition, in response to a location of our choosing, that changed form depending on whether we looked at it on our mobile phones, or our desktop computer.

For this project, I chose the Life Magazine Covers Mural at the University Center Library on the 7th floor. I chose that specific space because It is an undervalued space that resembles history. It shows the transition between black and white pictures into colored ones. And, at last, I relized that people didn’t seem to notice the mural, so I wanted to transform it into soemthing special.

My concept was “The realization of a new period through visual keys and patterns.” Through the use of images and patternmaking, I intended for people to look more closely the mural and actually observe what was in front of them.

We were asked to create a system to arrange a collection of 50 or more elements.

The collection that I chose was a group of phrases that I have embroidered or I intend on embroidering. These sentences have an important meaning to me, they are dreams, failures, memories, and borrowed opinions.
