Project: Mapping Revolutionary Boston Flash Interface
Platform: Flash CS3
Date: Summer 2009
Purpose: This interface was designed with the Bostonian Society as the web interface for the Mapping Revolutionary Boston project, based on our prototype from the fall of 2008. The project explores ways to geographically sort and display historical information about revolutionary-era Boston; it is intended both to appeal to younger students and to casual tourists.
Primarily, the project displays a short background on a number of different events, personalities, and locations. Upon further investigation, longer background text, images, and citations can be referenced. The entries in the project can also be sorted by theme, and background thematic information can be referenced.
With the Bostonian Society, I worked as a Web Development Intern, developing the web prototype and earning class credit in the Fall of 2008. In the summer of 2009, I worked full time on moving past the prototype and designing this final realization of the project. In the fall of 2009, I again worked as a intern earning class credit to develop an iPhone application displaying our historical content.
