This project looks at South Africa, specifically Grahamstown, 10 years after Apartheid. It includes photography, audio and video. During the introduction, music plays automatically, which isn’t ideal. The user should have an option for no sound before it starts playing, possibly after choosing what bandwidth. On the home page, there are seven different categories: women, housing, integration, youth, music, economics and insights. They each have a photo, and the title appears when the mouse runs over the image. This technique makes the site look less cluttered and more visually appealing. Each of the categories has a short story explaining its relevance to the subject and at least one multimedia aspect. In some cases, there are several choices, such as slideshows, audio or video. This project is very user friendly and tells the story from many perspectives.
