About the Project
This project has been designed in accordance
with the requirements for a Masters of Arts at Emerson
College. I have spent two years in the Media Arts curriculum,
with a concentration in New Media.
To qualify as a Master's project, I have
completed this project through three major phases. First,
I developed and refined my idea for a media project.
The initial concept was to create an educational website
that would provide access to older and/or specific information
that is not readily digitally available. After determining
that I wanted to study the works, times and impact of
Bluestocking women writers, I set forward to thoroughly
research this area and write website content that would
be similar to that of a thesis. An additional goal of
this phase was to create an extensive bibliography of
resources for those who visited the website. The last
phase was to parse and implement this content onto a
website that primarily designed as an example of proper
information architecture.
This site has been designed with several
intents and purposes:
- To provide an interesting, tasteful
and well-designed aesthetic that corresponds with
the website's purpose and message.
- To provide unique, user-centered pathways
to access and experience the material.
- To parse material into small, understandable
sections that would provide a general knowledge of
the subject material.
- To provide an exhaustive
and comprehensive bibliography.
- To showcase the media capabilities
I have developed since entering the program at Emerson
College.
- To develop an intense understanding
of information organization, architecture, and application,
as a piece of digital scholarship.
