Developing it further...

One of the complaints was that the aesthetics of the visuals were too confusing. With this in mind I remodeled it to look more like something so the user would apply a context to the piece. The look of it is based on a traditional paper but with an online edition feel. The title is taken from Google, the images are taken from Flickr. One of the critiques on the first iteration was that the montage was too confusing, that a way to go through the different images would be better.

I did this using a jQuery function, so now the user clicks on the image and it hides that and shows the next until there are no images, then a user can click 'show images'. As well as this another complaint was about the sounds, that they repeated sometimes, I edited the code to resolve this problem and think it's working.

As an extra feature I added a myspace search. I tried implementing this in the main page but it crowded the interface and since it's using a lot of code it works better in a pop up. To pass the search term from one window to the next I used some php to set a cookie. This is also the method for the image search to get the info.

As it stands, the user enters a term, this term is passed to external sites via php or APIs, this information is then structured using css and jQuery, it also returns sounds related to the terms, if the user wishes they can check to see are there any songs related to the terms and click on a pop up, at the same time the image search results are returned.

The idea is the user is bombarded with the different impressions and meaning to the words, this is sourced from the internet dynamically so the experience is created by the user and all medias are returned. The user gets a cross or multi-media bombardment of the results, in what they see, what they read and what they hear.
