GOING INTO THE FINAL WEEK OF THE DESIGN FUTURES PROJECT

Over the last few weeks I have seen my ideas develop and change, my initial thoughts led towards creating the "I-Paper", an interactive online newspaper using clever electronic paper technology. From researching foldable electronic paper I decided to take a step back and research the history and art of folding paper. This of course led me to Origami, the ancient art of folding paper which techniques involve manually manipulating paper into various shapes and sizes.

From researching Origami i came up with the idea of an entertainment product called Origam-E. This idea came around from my research on the following:

- Electronic Paper (SHOW LINK)

- Foldable Origami Batteries (SHOW LINK)

- Muscle Wires (SHOW LINK)

- Stephen Thaler (Robotic Cockroaches and Creativity Machine) (SHOW LINK)


I initially decided to create the presentation using Adobe After Effects, however I now feel Macro-media flash is the best option because it has certain effects such as shape tween and motion tween which better suits the concept and idea behind the presentation.
