How to Use
Relations to the written thesis
This portfolio website is designed to be navigated alongside the written thesis. It is intended to work as a standalone experience, but it is best understood in conjunction with the written thesis. Instructions are provided in the Introductory chapter. There are in-text notifications throughout the thesis, which pinpoint the specific part of the site [Page / Subheading] to explore alongside the writing.
Exploring the portfolio
The portfolio aims to feel like a notebook, representing the way ideas spawned, shaped and contradicted one another across the four years of the project. The viewer is invited to follow the website at their own level of curiosity. While I have suggested a viewing order in the written text, there is no negative to "reading on" or being taken to a different page. My instructions are to act as a guide only. Sections of the website may contain layers of relevance which grow when they are returned to again, and the viewer should be guided by this when exploring.
Practical navigation
To practically navigate through the website, each page contains a menu bar at the top of the page. The 'Navigation' button will return you to the Index page, which lists all parts of the website. There is also a link to this 'How to Use' page, which you can revisit at any time.
​
Once you have scrolled to the bottom of each page, there are also links to the 'Navigation' 'Home' and 'How to Use' pages, as well as an arrow to quickly return you to the top of the page.
Technical Support
The website uses a number of page animations, and contains audio and video, so please ensure your web browser is up to date. To best enjoy the audio and video aspects of the portfolio, it is recommended to view in a quiet room or to use headphones.
References
There are a small number of references contained within the pages of the portfolio. Each of these references is listed, with everything else, in the bibliography at the end of the written thesis.
