"House" an Illuminated Text by Norberto Rivera and Danny Chan

This project by Norberto Rivera and Danny Chan is an inspired look at pieces of the text and Esperanza's search for her perfect house. The words move perfectly to what is happening in the text and the authors masterfully combine different sections of the text to bring together a unified, powerful, vision.  [There is now a Flash Video version of this Illuminated Text - so if you've had problems hearing the Power Point Version - click on that one instead.]

I still remember the first time that we showed it in class - earlier that year I had created a "sample" Illuminated Text that I thought was pretty good - when I saw what Bert and Danny had done - it blew me away.  To watch (and hear) the Power Point Illuminated Texts -  you will need to be using Internet Explorer, and choose Open rather than Save when your browser asks you to do so.
