I have created a story that connects the culture stemming from Maine’s craft beer industry to the town of Orono. I examine how this culture manifests in the town. I struggled with finding a way to connect the background into Orono’s businesses.
I considered including only photos of individual beers, and captioning them with what they were and where they were brewed, but I didn’t find it to be as effective as I wanted it to be. I think I can integrate the Apps in a way that enhances the map I currently have, as that’s not really having a very strong effect currently.
I have figured out what I want to focus on with each location, but I definitely do not have fleshed out sections for any of the locations yet. Once I do that I want to go back to the beginning section to ensure that it is setting up the story correctly, as I want the stories of each location to be the focus of the overall story.
I also need to curate the images for each location better, for example in the Marsh Island Brewing section I talk about a door with stickers on it with no photo included of it. I plan on integrating a photo gallery for this portion, which might mean I need to find more photos for each of the other location sections so it is more cohesive. After this I want to go through and reformat where needed and maybe change the theme slightly.
