My Idea:

When I think of interaction I think about something that is fun which attracts your attention and keeps you entertained whilst teaching you the interaction as well as looking visually pleasing. Initially my first thoughts were to create an interaction with the form which you perceive as being a live, something with a mind of their own which we can not only be control by you but also act as if it is living their own lives when you are not specifically interacting with the interaction. With my idea I wanted to create fish forms which lived and acted like fish do, the same movement characteristics as real fish to give that effective aesthetic and to create an interaction I wanted to have a shark figure which caused the fish to move in different directions and avoid contact with the shark as it represents a key predator for fish. When the mouse is clicked the fish are able to be eaten by the shark, once the shark is full and has enlarged in size you release the mouse and the fish all exit in a vortex manor. After that the interaction restarts and creates a loop for interaction. 

This week I shall create a photoshoped story board to better express my ideas.
