Re: "It would be useful at this stage to really start mocking up a sample of how you would make their secrets revealed.. a gradual revealing perhaps? Just a still graphics? How would the whole site flow from the point of displaying 7 friends private selves.... ? "
My original thought to the secret revealing was simply to display the secret through a still image, with the other images helping to further explain or otherwise relate to the secret to help create the mood and hopeful add a certain element of realism to the secret its self. for example, let's say the secret was about a break up and to steal one directly from the Post Secret archives (which I will not be doing for the actually project of course) "I promise to smile next time I pass you in the hallway...please try to do the same." So for this example I would try to find things symbolic of a break up, maybe past love letters, notes passed in class, a diary entry and piece of jewellery or some other significant present or even a photo together. But this would all be displayed to be looked through by the view, rather than revealed piece by piece.
However that is an interesting thought...perhaps I could have the users see these symbolic pieces and move through them before the secret is actually revealed at the end. But finding these pieces will be harder for some secrets than others...also without the secret first being knowning it might be too hard to pick the connection. Maybe, if I work out how, I can have the different elements appear one after the other in a simple animation. But first I should probably find my secrets and work out the pieces that should go with them.
need a more entries into u blog. It has been 1 month since you done so. Revealing secrets are a gr8 way to talk about identity..
