Artist Statement

This Project was intended to show the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker based on the extended material from the "Revenge of the Sith" film. The website is designed to show an image with a correlated block of text, which consists of excerpts from the "Revenge of the Sith" Novelization as the narrative. I decided upon this story as it is one of my personal favorites, I was also fascinated by the setting and the character of Anakin Skywalker from a young age through adulthood. Some difficulties include the selection of images and determining when a text block should end for a section and begin for the next section. Deciding a style was less difficult, with Crimson and Black being the main theme for the story which is fitting for the subject and one of my favorite color duos. This color theme is high contrast and adds the desired sense of eeriness to the story. The Gold and Black used on the opening fade-in title makes the beginning unique, and convey the theme of the story, to be of a Hero. Yellow (Gold) being a color to represent fear in the story is utilized in the opening title text for this reason. The final element is the music player on the beginning opening webpage screen which is from musical producer Secession Studios on Youtube, which allows for use of audio material without copyright.
