The flash file is finally finished and I have added it into a Dreamweaver file.
All I have to do now is to burn a CD and deliver it 
There are probably things that could have been done better, but at least I was done in time for the last week.
Here is a printscreen of the final site.

I’m soon finished with the final assignment, and when I’m looking back on the concept I wrote some weeks ago, I can see that a lot of things have changed since then. Even tho the idea and thought behind it is the same, the way I have expressed it visually turned out quite different then I expected. I have made some decitions about the look of the site as I went on with the work, and saw what I was capable of, and what flash alowed me to do.
It is a while since I have worked in flash, and I needed to refresh some of my skills there, but internet provided me wi answers to most of the questions I had. And eventually things came back to me.
I have decided that the site will have a picture of a street and a brickwall as a background. In Norway we have an expression which describes a random person as “the man on the street”. That is why I felt the picture would be suitable. I talk about persons in general and the fact that it is posible to have several identities. And not one person or one specific identity.

I have decided to make most of my site in flash. I have started on the intro which is supposed to be work as an introduction to the site.
The viewer are not suppose to do anything, just look at the introduction, (maybe there will be a possibility to skip the intro, I haven‘t decided yet) The intro will consist of words that can be connected with the theme (Identity) crossing the screen. My main focus is that people can have several identities in different situations. The words will be written both in English, French and in Norwegian which is my language. In addition to the words crossing the screen it will be people, or the outline of people sliding over the screen. Identity have a strong connection to the term human/person. The last word sliding over the screen will be identity.
Main page:
To make the page a bit more unpredictable and exiting I will use pictures of different people with different features. And when you click on them different things will happen.
Here are some ideas:
Face 1:
- rollover – removes different features of the face, mouth/eyes ++
Face 2:
- rollover/clicking – The mask on the face changes
Face 3:
- rollover/clicking – The mask is removed, you see what’s under – can be a painted face, nothing, a normal face (angry, happy, sad ++)
Face 4:
- rollover/clicking – The colour of the skin changes
Face 5:
- rollover/clicking – animation – the face starts to talk, maybe in different languages
Face 6:
- rollover/clicking – twoface: a person in profile, the face turns to the side when you click, the other half side of the face has other features, maybe scary/robot/machine/old ?
Face 7:
- When you click on the face a new picture displays, the person in hole figure standing and holding a poster, the word on the poser changes frequently. Words connected to the theme.

A question which came up in class yesterday was “what happens if you remove a person’s mouth?” Someone answered “you remove their identity”
If this is correct, it means that by changing the features on a person’s face we also changes the person’s identity.
But then what about plastic surgery? Does a person changes his/her identity just because he / she faar nose embellished a little?

FLASH SITE:

During last lecture in Web art and design when we watched a couple of videos which inspired me to develop my concept further. I will keep the main theme but maybe change the look of it a little to make the site a bit more exiting. One page can consist of plenty of pictures of people placed in a grid and surrounded by words. When you click on the words, the pictures of all the people that relate themselves to the specific word will become larger (zoom).
It will also be possible to click on the pictures of the different people. A new page will open up and we will see the person holding a note with a word on. This word will change frequently as the poster is disturbed by a bad TV-signal and the channels are switching. Another idea is that the pictures are placed in a photo album instead of just one picture in a frame. I think this will give me the opportunity to make the site more exiting. I can put several elements in every page.
I have also decided that the site will start with an intro page. I haven’t really decided how it’s suppose to look yet but I will most likely use some kind of animation. Maybe it will be words that moves over the screen. I will publish some pictures when I have made a draft in Photoshop.
