The subject matter is about asylum seekers and feeling sense of belonging in a new
country. Main themes are: identity crisis, feeling respected and accepted in society,
racism, opportunities for ethnic minorities.

The website is very documentary
based, it follows stories of people and their lives. The information is 1st
person and personal, and offers a new perspective on the lives of an
immigrant. Some of the content are slideshows with commentary, with some lmfiic material inbetween e.g. interviews. I think it’s a honest interpretation of the subject matter
that isn’t often shown in the media.
Structure
- Horizontal slider website
- Links to a gallery homepage (like a menu)
- Features "8 case studies"
- All personal interpretations
- Different accounts/perspectives about the same main themes/issues
Conclusion
I think the interactive elements do help highlight a sequential development of a message/argument. Its appropriate to what its trying to put across.
