Artwork mixed with animation. Viewer has to click on a certain part to get the animation to start, and it changes the overall picture. Only when change has happened can they move on to the next page. It makes the viewer jump at times, can be scary. Ambience created with soundtrack and sound effects compliment the animation.

Own idea

Home page to be a collage of classic, thought provoking photos, taken myself or by my own friends. Each can be clicked on to open a memory or thought of this woman (or the average woman).

EG: Video, with voiceover poetry or short story
Handwritten piece with music soundtrack
Picture with clickable points that start an animation, which could show the difference between a self image of a woman compared to her actual image. Click and the face ages and sags.
Picture of a woman's body, and as you move cursor over different parts i will include actual quotes of womans complaints of their own bodies.
Sound bites of women speaking. My grandmother telling jokes youthfully, my mother worrying about wrinkles or disliking an outfit etc would be possibilities.


i will research this by sending out a request for women to send me their self opinions of particular body parts. I will ask for thoughts of when women look in the mirror, how they view themselves as a person in general and how they feel about aging. I will ask my own generation, my mother's, and my grandmother's.
