Well, it said you could make another submission lol. Funny enough, I had another original idea for this round but then opted for my first submission, and now decided to make some actually games with my gamifying activity leads strategy. Here is Brash Experiments with Balley, the website mascot. The games are meant to be hints of my work and approaches, along with being lead conversation starters. This is really a base for the experiment, and if things go well I would update things over time to reflect more of the overarching vision. The goal would be to update and games that tie into other upcoming projects along with random ideas (especially experimental ideas) that I do not have any place to put.

I decided to be the client this round to focus on increasing my leads. Wanted to test out gamified/interesting activities related to my products and services that could help pick someone's interest like other interactive ads. Decided to make a reflection based activity as that is what I have been my recent focus. The goal was to keep things simple and clean, and to build something that would not require alot of upkeep. Only three main pages, along with CTAs on each page, and leading to the other pages that build pathways to progressive action, including reaching out to me. Reflect and Act Challenge is made so that a user would get actually use out of it regardless if they be come a solid lead. I also made it with the pragmatic reality that credits run out, and so the base functions still work.

I went the wholesome and grounded route because yeah lol. Series Title: Daisy on the Prairie Original Character: https://cantina.com/i/s4jat (@daisyontheprairie) Pilot Episode: https://cantina.com/i/m5zx8 Info: Daisy is a Prairie Ground Squirrel who is out here to teach you about the Prairie and the native plants and animals on the land. She quite friendly, down to earth, and a protector of prairie lands. The pilot is a quick intro how Daisy lives and her start to prep for a major seasons for the prairie: wildfire season. I imagine a children's show like pacing where there is a new activity or adventure to learn from with each episode while weaving an overall narrative. The goal would be to show the importance of prairie land, and how the plants and animals being and presence positively impacts the prairie ecosystem. Characters introduced would be her parents, friends like bison, other ground squirrels, birds, and so much more. Then there would be focus on plants and other important dynamics of the ecosystem. Also challenges would focus on natural disasters or major shifts in ecosystems and how the animals and ecosystem react to these challenges.

Cover image for Third and final submission: All
Third and final submission: All four seasons in a landscape. For my final piece, I knew I wanted to do something with transforming with a landscape. Even before working on any of my entries and the Flora challenge I have been thinking about projects around transforming landscapes. One of the reasons I liked the Tile for my first entry and so I looked for a landscape piece through the catalog. Initially thought I would use a colored landscape/realism piece but ended up picking a 16th century artwork titled "Four Landscapes with the Four Seasons" by Hendrick van Schoel (Flemish, active Rome, ca. 1565–1622) After Hans Bol (Netherlandish, Mechelen 1534–1593 Amsterdam). I thought by the title it was found landscapes and four seasons in one depiction and that got my brain going. Turns out it was a series made by Schoel based on sketches/drafts from Bol, that had four landscape pieces depicting the same landscape and the activities done on the land in different seasons. I saw the other possible pieces in the series online, but The Met only has this Summer version. So I colorized the summer version and used it as base for the other seasons and took it from there to create videos to show case what a landscape with four seasons happening at once may look like. Working on this also has my creative writing brain thinking as well.
