It is the link
for the access to the page http: // www.eastgate.com, "...the primary source for serious hypertext". It is a very
meaningful icon, since the etymology of the name is represented through this
picture. In addition we can see that this one isn't a common gate, it belongs
to a wall.
Then, we observe a very peculiar combination between
the historical romanticism and the new technologies. We might say that the use
of this picture is a resort for showing the reliability and the safety from the
page, some typical properties of the walls.
This bar is a
spectrum which contains twelve lines or threads. Every thread represents a
fragment of every history. There are eight bars into the hypertext.
The form, the size and the disposition of the lines of
the picture change according to the option that you choose. According to your
clicks, you will read a fragment or another one.
The mix you have chosen is imaged on
screen left, representing the orientation
the threads have in the bar.
A girl will leave stale candy...
As we can observe, the kind of letter used in the text is Times New
Roman, size 12, Occidental. We are speaking about a blue colour letter (the same
colour from the bottom), but with different tonality. The above mentioned
contrast makes that the letters stand out and there is produced a visual showy
effect.
The girl on the Pacific shore stares out
looking for her mother.
The subgrated phrases possess links that they lead to the following
fragment of the history. Their image disappears after the first click,
nevertheless, they continue existing.
This kind of images appear when the story comes to its end and they
appear as a representative icon for the argument.
