Inspired by an abandoned pile of postcards, Who Is Flora is an interactive narrative that follows a woman traveling across America in the 1940s. Each screen is designed around a specific card, and I paid close attention to period magazine design in order to reflect that in the screens. In the story, Flora is traveling alone, reflecting on her life. Parallel screens (hidden on the right until selected) tell my story, and the two often intersect ideas and moods.
The structure of the navigation is progressive; as each screen is visited the link for the next appears (and stays for the duration). In this way the user reads the screens in a linear order, creating narrative structure, but can visit previous screens in any order. The navigation is represented by a US Map in the upper left of the screen, with numbers representing links other destinations.
