Blue Suburbia

Blue Suburbia is an interesting website developed by Nathalie Lawhead. I found her website from Flash Goddess, a site devoted to women who use flash, although any developer can benefit from their site and forums.

Nathalie spent most of her life in Europe, and then moved to LA in her high school years. Nathalie grew up with computers and art. Blue Suburbia started with a small Flash animated village as she began playing with the paint tool and becoming acquainted with Flash. She really enjoyed flash and began animating her poetry. Blue Suburbia is an experiment in finding a common ground between art and technology. The piece reflects question and observations she has about the contemporary educational system.
The Blue Suburbia site is has animated cursers for navigation, clues, and animated creatures. The site reminds me somewhat of a dark Alice in Wonderland.
Nathalie’s design is creative and interesting. The first time I started the game, I missed the introduction which explains the genre. Make sure the site loads completely. Once the music starts, you can begin. The game takes you from one design to the next, without a clear picture of the goal or direction you are intended to go. Perhaps the goal is in the exploration itself. Each animation on the page will open a different door, so once you leave, you can return to try another path. If you like a mystery combined with interesting art work, this is a great site for you. If you want action packed intrigue, then pass it by.
