non-linear timeline final
My initial idea was to relate the events of my life and the memories that are attached to a roller coaster ride. However, as I did more brainstorming I found a better metaphor that would work for my timeline. My new idea revolves around the ripples in a pond. When a pebble is thrown into the pond, the surrounding water begins to ripple arou
nd the rock. I find that a valid connection between our brain and the way we recall the memories (or visions of the future).I chose to focus this project on my trip to Cuba and how one simple incident brings me back to memories and events from the past, and how it leads to envisioning future events. Each event or memory will lead to another one, and this thought process does not proceed in chronological order, which is like a ripple idea. The core idea (the rock) spurs the memories (ripples) that surround it, and it spreads outwards. That is how I have designed my timeline.

The ripple effect is a good metaphor for the affective connections that ideas and events and hopes and wishes all share, as the central event of your holiday evokes and impacts all of these other ideas and other memories.
This idea creates conditions for chance, play and summary. However I think you need to "submerge" some of the experiences, make things a little more like water actually behaves. I'm interested in seeing a non-linear interactive prototype.
