For my final project I would like to use flash to make this garden type of interface. There would be things like different types of plants, or flowers and bugs that you would find in a garden. This would be part of a website that I will create by the end of the term.
I would like the veiwer to be involed in the choosing the different plants, flowers and bugs and such, that a person can find or put into a garden. In a way it is like a mini game where the person is a gardener and they are trying to make this garden grow so that they can harvest crops or flowers, depending on what they chose to plant.
The different types of information that will be shown are text, used to tell what flower it is and maybe some other facts about the plants, and images will be of the flowers or what they will look like when they grow, the bugs and such, and flash animations used in this web page.
The target viewers of this web page would be females or gardeners in general. There might be two different versions one versions that is all flowery and pretty. The other version would be for the boys with lots of bugs and some other things that boys would find interesting. The just depends on how much time I have with all the assignments that are due.
I would research the different types of plants and such that a person might find in a garden. For example, tomatoes, onions, and flowers like tupils and some other plants and such. There will be a small blurb about each flower or the bugs describing what type it is and where you can find it and such.
Basically it is scheduled so that the first few weeks research is done to make sure I know what to put where and a small description of the plant and images. The rest of the time will hopefully be done doing sketches and working with flash to get it worked out to get all the kinks out so that it is working properly.

You need to create a site map, Lynda. Something that shows what the interactivity functions will be like - what you see on page 1, and on from there - how the site will be structured. This is important, because although I know something about the theme of your site, I don't have much of a sense of how extensive it will be or how it will appear.
I look forward to seeing your imagery. I find the idea of 'flowery' for girls and 'buggy' for boys to be a bit of a cliche or stereotype - but maybe this is the idea?
You have an ambitious plan of research and I look forward to seeing how far you've got at your midterm presentation tuesday. Drawings, text, research notes, web research URLS and footnotes from books would all be good things to bring, as well as a site plan sketch that gives me an overview of your design. Certainly, I'm curious to see the drawings and sketches for your project, which sounds very visual.
Unfortunately you did not include a timeline on this, so I'm not sure how you anticipate your work unfolding. It would be a good idea to make a timeline and include it for tuesday's presentation, to plan how your work will unfold over the remaining weeks in the term.
