Create a presentation on InVision that introduces your idea. Answer the following questions in your presentation:
How will you divide your text up? Why? Try to think of something more interesting than the predesigned chapters of the book
How many pages do you want to divide your text into?
Will the journey through your story be linear (Clicking takes you to the next page all the way through) or will it have multiple entry ways? Why? How does your decision support your overall goal for the website?
What is the main theme you’d like to communicate to the user? How can this theme be presented through the way you organize the text?
How can your theme be communicated visually? Do an exploration on typography and design. Find examples of other designs that achieve what you’re going after. Be sure to label your findings.
