day 5, the powerpoint mockup
Inspired by David Byrne's Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information, Tufte's The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint and Danielle Aubert's Excel art, I spent yesterday playing in PowerPoint. I'm going to try to mock up the book in PowerPoint, to investigate how/what I can move PowerPoint-ness into physical form. I'm thinking about how to build in some kind of prohibition against "skipping ahead", which is a privilege you can exercise in a physical book but not in a PowerPoint (at least, not without seeing the slides in-between). Also thinking about size - my earlier version of the ppt book was too small, and I'm thinking I should scale up. Screenshots later today. christina
