Welcome to the Tardis.
If you have never experienced the exciting universe of Doctor Who, This site is the perfect introduction for you. Doctor Who is a British Television series which follows the adventures of a time traveler who visits new planets, solves interesting puzzles, and combats various aliens. This site is divided into five parts, all of which help to demonstrate the significant involvement from the community of fans that surround the series. These are Music, Artwork, Videos, and Characters.
Each section is a demonstration of the beautiful works of creativity both by members of the fan-base and by the writers of the show itself. Each page is also a good example of the principles described by Lev Manovich in his text: "The Language of New Media" In particular the way in which the digitization of art, music, and ideas has led to a situation in which someone with relatively small access to resources or creative skills is still able to reproduce interesting products that showcase what they as an individual are excited about.
I like the part that says "Welcome to the Tardis." I don't think you give enough background about your topic. I think someone who didn't know anything about Doctor Who would be very confused by the general introduction.
ReplyDeleteThere needs to be more background given on Doctor Who. You could maybe include some of the actors of the show. You could discuss what exactly the Tardis is. Maybe mention some of the villains he has to face or some of his love interests.
I would also like to see more about the introduction to Manovich. I think you did a good job of tying it to your topic, but more detail of the exact Manovichian principles needs to be there. I'm looking forward to seeing what a website all about Dr. Who will look like.
