Monday 1st Dec.

Looks good. Shame I missed out. Can see how your thinking to an extent but obviously need to have been there to get the full round up. Some things look like they're changing shape? 

Today I've just been thinking of more interactive ways to do stuff and drew some more mock up screenshots.

This would be the Start up page and home page. Jonathan was saying how we should think about the whole emphemiral experience, perhaps think about the viewpoint of the perciever.

I thought it might be interesting to have a pair of hands holding the menu at a restaurant table to make the viewer feel involved. The title would be hand drawn like you mention. Could be illustrated or photographed. Kinda comes from Emma's idea of having a banquet/buffet. Except this restaurant's a little different in that it serves insects. The menu has therefore has a fitting camo theme. Was thinking we could have little ants crawling accross the table and a spider gradually appearing down it's web...should be reasonably easy to make as gifs. The audio here could be the restaurant clatter etc.

Clicking on the menu takes you to the second page. A woodland setting (on the inner menu) whereby a wildlife audio is played. Again there would be the same creepy crawlys crawling around on the screen. Rolling over certain features causes them to go black and white, plus adds audio. For exaple, rolling over the grass growth gives the sound of crickets.

Once you click on that feature it takes you to the next page.

Here the menu layout takes out a new look wherby that particular food is mentioned in focus. With such visual add ons like 'chefs special' for eg. To keep things factual the picture of the insect would be an actual photograph, which when clicked on took you to short quicktime movie footage (such as this). There would be details of what the animal looks like, what it eats, where it lives...and it's nutritional values just for a bit of a joke. 

We could make it all lateral so it uses the scrollers as a feature. 

I thought it would be good to keep the colour scheme uniform so its consistant. Here it's blue and yellow.

Anyway this is just what I've come up with. good/bad comments welcome! Let me know what you wanna do or what you've discussed today. Obviously we need to have a mix of all our ideas. 

I think the next stage is making the visual material that we are going to use on the website.
