Idea for senior project...

Since my senior project involved a nonlinear form of storytelling in poetry, I figure based on suggestions from Katherine, I have to make the execution of the website clear for the average user to use and most importantly, to understand. So there are some possible ways of execution for the project. The first idea is to have the user click on one of the sections on the home page and it will take that person to the beginning of that poem. Now, when the user clicks on a verse, it will change to a different verse of another poem and the user will click on it. That will take the user to a different setting involving some kind of animation being displayed with another link being showed. The same thing will repeat through all the themes to a certain point of conclusion.

Main Inspiration

Thomas Swiss is a English professor and poet who began using his writings with multimedia in recent years. I found his work to be inspiring for the project that I am going to build. But I am going to take it a step further.
