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.

What is the difference?
First I thought that it was going to be an easy question to answer:
Art is something you can look at, the artist expresses his/her feelings or wish to bring out specific feelings for the viewer. And design is something you can use, something designed for a purpose.
But after comparing different pieces like this:
I am not so sure any more, design can look awfully like art. Some designs are created in a way that they are totally useless, and then I feel it is closer to the category art than design.
Both an artist and a designer use their creativity to create, and I guess both of them wish to interfere with peoples feelings. A designer have to influence peoples feelings in a positive way, because the goal is to sell a product witch people can use. While an artist may try to provoke the public or just to express their own feelings.
After doing some research I can see that the term design-art are being mentioned several places and it looks like people then refer to pieces more in the direction of graphic design. Maybe graphic design is the style we get when vi combine art and design?
