Critique Four!

"Facade"

The group project takes the idea of digital media -- telling a story while exploiting the unique abilities of digital media.

Its concept is simple, tell a (fractured) story about how what we experience may not be as simple as what we see. Aptly named "Facade," it's a mostly visual experience, getting its metaphorical points across with literal effects -- for example, text exploding off the page. Each page gives us a bit more information, ambiguous but thoughtful and entertaining.

What's most remarkable about the project are the effects that it employs. They are flashy, fascinating, and a perfect example of something that can only be done digitally. While they may be simply a gloss, they are a very entertaining and effective gloss.

Overall, a fantastic project by Justin and Shane. Very well done.
