Hotspots writeup

The general theme of this piece is the differing amount of perspective there can be about a certain topic. The topic in question was: Deers. What do they think? Are they just mindless biscuit munching drones? The first picture shows the thoughts of the people surrounding the deer. Most of them are envious. They imagine the deer to live the perfect relaxed lifestyle. The deer is well fed, gets to lie about in the sun all day and has none of the concerns that humans do, such as making a living, securing a nice home to live in etc. In a way the deer represents for these observes the culmination of all perfect aspects of life.

The reality is far from this, as is shown in the second picture, which goes into the mind of the deer and observes his thoughts about a life lived in the constant presence of humans. The tone of the second image is different to the first, it deals with more basic concepts. Note also that the deer is not envious of anything, like the humans are. He merely observes what goes on around him. Perhaps the deer is living the dream life that everybody supposes he is.


Working with the technology to create this piece was both new and familiar. The layout of Dream weaver is easy to use and allows you to focus on the creativity side as opposed to when we were writing code in WforW in Year1. It seems like the things I am learning in regards to website design in this subject are going to be more creativity based, which is a positive. Making hotspots is simple and it will be interesting to explore this in the future, muck around with the different things you can do using the program.

There weren't many difficulties when making the piece, other than the usual accidental deleting of certain bits of code, resulting in the whole thing failing. Other than that no problems.
