Animalamina
Animalamina is a collection of interactive digital poetry for children, designed to introduce a younger audience (ages 5-11) to a variety of styles of digital poetry, animation and interaction through the traditional format of an animal A-Z.
The poems are hidden in 26 interconnected scenes that the reader/user reveals through various types of interaction. The reader is free to choose their own path through each scene, and the direction in which they progress to another scene. Progress into new scenes is rewarded by the corresponding letter and the ability to jump back to that scene at choice. Each scene has been designed to be different from the others in the style of narration, illustration and interaction, to create a series of unique environments that are exciting to traverse and uncover.
Poetry/design/programming/music by Chris Joseph, with illustrations by Binnorie, William Logsdon, Maria Colino, Clare Drapper, Heather Lynne Gordon, Iceni, Phage, Phooty Raskel, Vicky Rimell, Dan Smith, Claire Webb, and additional vocals by Binnorie and Iceni.
