Planning the Midterm Project: Proposal and visual representation

Proposal

Review the description and requirements of the Midterm Project and write a short proposal (one to two paragraphs) describing your idea for a the project. Include information about the

• genre of the project (portfolio, biographical site, interactive story, interactive art, game . . .),
• audience (potential employers, kids, teenagers, adults, all ages), and
• scope of the project (is it a project in itself or the first version of your final project).

Visual representation of the project

Create a flow or organization chart, or a storyboard, or some other visual representation of the elements of your project and the flow of the navigation though those elements. It should *show* the answers to the following questions:

• What are the main sections?
  • What happens in the main sections?
• What are the secondary sections/actions?
  • What happens in those secondary sections/actions?
• Which sections link to which sections?
  • How does the user get from one section to another--directly, through a menu on that page, or back to the menu?
• How does the user get back to the menu?
• How does the user get to the exit?

Remember, the clearer the idea, the easier it will be to design and build. Create for yourself: you can be as clever, creative, practical, serious or whimsical as you want to be as long as you include the requirements.
