STORIES OF SLAVERy
med-fi Wireframe & Visual Design
In collaboration with Walter Hawthorne and Ethan Watrall of MATRIX, The Center for Digital Humanities and Social Sciences at Michigan State University
The Stories of Slavery iPad application concept presents data collected from The Slave Biographies project in an interactive and meaningful way to people interested in exploring the geographical locations, skills, and family relations of slaves from the Atlantic region. The application will connect people to maps, images, and documents through a narrative sequence or interactive visualizations.
