So it will be in book form of sorts, using the 20 proposals I'm preparing. These will be one page A4(?) proposals no more no less.
As discussed with Aidan and Graham there needs to be intro text and conclusion. Something similar to the one page summary from last year. Another thing mentioned by Aidan at the presentations was how the book relates to current interactive technology
It brought me back to an article Mark posted on the Dialouge site
These booklets are not intended as ‘documents’ that present a past event. These booklets will be like an exhibition space, a framework which is offered to each participant, culminating in a book as a publicly distributed exhibition in Los Angeles.
‘In a ‘normal’ situation a commissioner gives you the content and asks you to make something ‘nice’. Here the designer starts a capsulated, isolated monologue with their screen.
We want to avoid the split situation between the author and the designer followed by a pdf traffic.
This is an interesting quote
"These booklets will be like an exhibition space, a framework which is offered to each participant, culminating in a book as a publicly distributed exhibition"
There's a lot of parallels between web design and architecture but I've not heard of it being applied to book design. I really like that idea, the book as an exhibition space something you navigate through.
So how to create a "Wiki" book that allows jumping off points? Even just looking at the DIALOGUES main page is there a way of recreating the that menu system acrooss the top?
Do you recreate the linking system? How do you allow users to give feedback? Do you want to, is a book a more definitive record?
Hmmmm..... Print this post
