Please post the link to your live site on your blog

Class,

Please post a link to your live site on your blog.

Even if your site is not 'ready' its important to publish it to see how it performs live.

REMEMBER:

Your inquiry should not be limited to an isolated self-analysis but should include, for example, broader community and national perspectives, and critical investigations of human relationships, the influences of cultural environment, and the impact of technology.

The process should take into consideration some of the following questions:

who are we as individuals?
who are we as citizens/part of a community?
how are identities constructed?
how are identities defined?
how are identities maintained?
how are identities stolen/lost?
what are we?
what does it mean to be human?
where do we draw the line between human and machine?

Central to notions of identity are these interrelated topics :
individual identity
cultural identity
virtual identity (ie non physical)
liquid identity (ie multiple identities - see A.R.Stone, 1996)
family and ethnicity
class
economics
religion
sexuality
spirituality
mass mediated identity
feminist issues
political identities

The aim of the assignment is to provide the opportunity for you as designers and creative writers to demonstrate the technical skills gained and theoretical concepts explored in the lab
workshops and independent commitment to the project.

It will be important to utilise the non-linear and interactive nature of the Internet and the World Wide Web to enhance your project. In addition you need to comprehensively document your
process: this should include a site map, flow chart of the navigation and related
