The Webadventure project is the one I have been looking forward to the most. For this project, I will “create an interactive web experience using links that move users along a path of web pages in a linear, or nonlinear and dynamic fashion.” This project requires us to make five GIFs, ten images (five Photoshop and five found images), and we must have twenty links minimum per page. My idea for this project is to create a makeover game through Wix. When I was little, I was only interested in playing these online makeover/makeup games. In the game, they would start with a girl with bushy eyebrows, acne, and other conventionally unattractive features. The player would then make her “pretty” by changing all of her imperfections. As a twenty-year-old looking back on those games now, I feel as though they were insensitive and non-inclusive. Not only did it shame girls who had imperfections, but there was no diversity. It was only ever a white blonde woman. With this project, I want to keep the parts of the game I loved while making it more inclusive and less shameful.
