Why Markeaton?

Other than the photo speaking for itself, why did I choose Markeaton Park for my interactive space project?

Well Markeaton Park is the place where I spent a lot of my younger years growing up. It was the park we used to go to and every time I go back I get a strong sense of memories of people I've been with and things we've done there.

Having all those fond memories has fueled me on to create a website that's accessible to children and adults so that both age groups can get the most out of the park. I want to create an environment that is useable by people with partial sight, who are deaf and those with learning dissabilities. As well, of course, as for people who are able in all those factors.

I'm going to be going back to Markeaton over the next few weeks to take photographs and pick up some information about the coming events over the winter season, so I can create this website suitable for the project.
