Creative Media - Change of Idea

Unfortunately I did not have enough time to create one of the ideas I had came up with. While I could still create one of the split screen ideas, with the limited time I have, it would not be up to a standard I would be happy with for final year and so I have decided to change my idea (again). I think creating something with QR Codes would be the easiest for me to do in this limited time.

I like the idea of taking an old age practice, that hasn't changed how it functions and bringing in into the modern century. My first idea was scratch cards and replacing the 'scratch' with a scan-able QR code to find out if you have won or not. Whilst I like this idea it is too simple for this project, but this idea led me onto tarot cards.

Tarot cards have been around since the 15th century and haven't really changed in all that time, they still look the same and do the same thing. I want to take this old practice and bring it into the modern technological era by replacing the still image on each card with a QR code. There is the opportunity to do a multitude of things such as videos, moving image, text, voice. It could be a really interesting and different way to interact with the cards but first I will need to research more into tarot cards.

Because of the limited time I have, what I create will be viewed as a prototype of what could be created.
