Assignment 1. Interactive Photo Essay
Due and present on **Tuesday, October 20**

Create a photo essay conveying a narrative based on one word. Your essay should consist of no less than 10 still images that you have shot personally with a digital camera. The word you choose may appear in the photos by way of Photoshop manipulation, but no other words can appear in the photos unless they are in the setting photographed. You may choose to either keep the title present at all times or hide it after the first photo/splash screen. The technology that you use to present the photos is up to you. **Create a story with your images that can be viewed nonlinearly** while maintaining the integrity of the narrative. You may use simple animation, and transitions to help create context for your photo essay, but these must remain as a supporting element and not over-ride the photo(s) in importance. You are not allowed to use any music, video, graphics, or illustrations. The photos should tell the story.

Class Project
Potential Project:

Local emergency management people would like to inform people of the dangers of ignoring an evacuation order for hurricanes.

Some of the dangers include:
 * Wind damage from the storm
 * Wind damage from tornados spawned from the hurricane
 * Storm surge
 * The force of flood waters
 * Getting caught in traffic jams when people wait until last moment to evacuate
 * Fuel shortage
 * Downed power lines
 * Food and water shortages in affected areas

One suggestion is to create a Choose Your Own Adventure that includes examples of the dangers that come before, during and after a hurricane.
