What would it LOOK like? (from Adult E-toys last
paragraphs).
Hi James,
These sound like good idea's.
What would your lists look like? (Before and After and
maybe During?)
What would the book (and its pages) look like?
Why don't you see how much you can mock up the way
these would look.
(Just assemble morphs etc. ) to give a visual
impression of what it would look like.
Lots can be done just in morphic with the direct
manipulation of things and without any programming.
Get a clearer specification. Then write about it
and maybe attach some of the pictures to the email.
Snapshots don't actually have to behave they just have
to look like they might.
Yours in service, --Jerome Peace
