Once Upon a Town: Ormskirk was a commissioned project in which I was tasked with developing a virtual museum to host the memories and experiences of those living in and surrounding Ormskirk during the Covid-19 Pandemic. It was designed to be a safe-space for individuals to share their stories and experiences during the pandemic, full of interactive elements and a range of media to explore.
- Interactive elements such as books, photos, and videos
- Custom environments modelled by Alex Jukes
- A safe-space for individuals to share their stories and experiences
Given this was a commissioned project, the primary challenge was to create a virtual museum that could accurately capture the memories and experiences of those living in and around Ormskirk during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This required a deep understanding of the needs of the community and the ability to translate them into an interactive and engaging virtual environment. I also had to consider the technical limitations, as the content had to be accessible via the web and lower end devices; which meant a lot of optimisation was required.
