Google Maps!

So just before Christmas, we'd been given a brief for our next assignment; to use the tools from Google Maps to tell a story. It could be either fictional or factual.

We got given a started place, our's being 'Antony Gormley's Another Place, Crosby'. being from the area I know this place well, so it was nice starting with something which was familiar to me.

Most of my group didn't really know much about them, just that they were 'Iron Men standing on a beach' so firstly we needed to research the story behind them. Although after about an hour googling, we could not fin a thing as to why the sculptures were built.

So with that being said, we ha to come up with a story based around them. So we decided to look up 5 other iron statues around the world and link them together using a 'fairytale-like story based around an Iron witch that turned all these people/animals into stone as they were about to go home.

You can have a look at our stories below..
