Artefact 4 - Interactive 'Red Button' What to Do?

I had gone through all these options but still was not sure exactly how i would make this into an artefact..After thinking if there was anything i could make to test or somehow of seing if people really like, i couldnt think of anything other than a questionaire.

So i went ahead and created a questionaire trying to get as much info out of the people as possible and so most of the questions were giving qualitative answers.

My symbol and final Box

Here is my Logo i made it by originally having my initals in a circle then just playing around i changed it to windings and i ended up rather liking it:

For my final box i made small items as representatives of the 5 items as buttons to go to the actual items and it looked like this:

Final Ideas for things going into the box

i had some problems uploading the turntables on my previous post so i am trying to reload them on a post of their own and shall do the same with the final item. my final ideas for what was going in the box are that i changed the colour of the desk the turntables were on as it did not show up in the rendered version and i animated it and put some music to it: (the following two are unregestered because i havent got the registration codes for the program yes as i had to change the size to get them onto blogger)


I changed the idea of having the carrot being choped up into making a short pixilation film of a chicken salad as follows:

I kept the same idea for the snowboard but made it into a short animation:


I didnt end up changing the avatar so it is the same as in the previous post and for the last item the picture from Tanzania, i made a frame for it so it had something to be in. which lookoed like:

orginal ideas for items going in my box

Here are the first ideas of what i was going to put in my box:

The turntables are then going to move

This is a carrot being cut up

This is my attempt on making a snowboard. I then plan to make it spin around on the X axis.

This is my avitar from our previous project. and my final item ive put into my box is a picture i took from when i was working in Tanzania of a Massai tribe's child and his cattle and the vast African plains this is to show my tranquility. Anyway here it is:

First Ideas for Interactive box

My first idea for my interactive box was to make the box a rugby ball that then opens but after making it i decided that this wasnt a very good idea and didnt look very good as you can see:



i then thought about making just a kitchen cuboard as the box due to the fact i am a keen cook and worked in a kitchen for some time during my gap year.

Interactive narratives stage three

i finished the project but i still hadnt managed to put music onto it so this was a bit disapointing but i was reasonably happy with the outcome of my project.

Interactive narratives stage two

I started using flash to create my interactive narrative. i had used flash before for a project in school a couple of years back so i knew how to use it a little bit. The first problem i encountered was that when i was rendering the work certain parts of the text on differnt screens couldn't all be seen. i found out this was a problem with the text options which i managed to fix. I also had a problem with the buttons because i was trying to create a third button and then when i tried to render it, it would just play through the entire thing with out stopping and waiting for the buttons to be pressed. To fix this problem i ended up deleteing the buttons and retrying it and a few attempts later this was working.

Interactive narratives stage one

For this project we must create a peice of work that some one can interact with and change the outcome what happens in the narrative. I started of by deciding what my narrative was going to be about and i came up with the idea of using traveling and to give the person going through it a choice of places they would go on holidays.
