Mapping
I am trying to use Prezi to map out my research and process. It is till a bit of a try and error to use it but I have a feeling that it might work for me.

Alternate Reality Game
The ARG genre is a big inspiration how to use the world as the platform of the game. Even though one might know an ARG there is no real definition of the genre. There a different views on what makes an ARG. I remember when I went to the ARGfest 2010 that there still many ways to use the idea of an ARG. During my visit there I sometimes felt that they might make the games a bit to hardcore and therefor never really get the mainstream audience to play along.
This brings me to a post I found of a company that do make ARG like games. He explains many things I have also observed. Though, he wrote this in December of 2008 I feel that these issues still are current.
Everything you know about ARGs is WRONG
The thing I am mostly curios about is what they call the Rabbit Hole. The first contact between the players to the actual game. How do we guide them to the game and keep them captivated to play.
Concept - Research Process

Next to the project itself I want to show the research and how I have used the research. I was thinking to use a mind map as a platform.
As I was looking at different mind maps I had an idea I might want to do for the final presentation. I have fantasy about actually making a paper map, like road maps. This map will help the reader go through the pieces of information. Right now the pieces of information would be small video presentations, which probable would be hosted on youtube.
This idea came to me when I was looking at different diagrams (previous post) and the map of a city-game called “The Jejune Institute”

To make each painting, I lay a sheet of frosted mylar over a magazine page. I assign a color to every letter (numbers are shades of grayscale) and apply tiny dots of paint over every character on the page according to my color-code. Making the paintings is a lot like solving a cryptogram and the result is a legible blur of dots in the form of the article’s layout, a kind of Braille for the color-inclined.
