Abstract(s)
In this master thesis I researched history, heritage
and cultural aspects related to Portuguese
coastal town Peniche. Investigation also covers
multimedia storytelling, visual identity, editorial
web design and user experience. The aim of the
research is to better understand Peniche cultural
identity from a foreign resident perspective
and to share this knowledge about coastal communities
living there with the potential visitors,
using graphic and web design as a method. In
the practical part I collected stories of the local
people and presented them as an interactive
contemporary storytelling experience, by
designing and building a multimedia webpage.
Furthermore, I designed a visual identity of the
project as the part of my master thesis practical
work as well. I developed my skills as a photographer,
visual storyteller, graphic and web designer,
showing the variety of my professional expertise.
Moreover, I also explored how contact between
different cultures can be a constructive experience
for a designer. The ultimate goal of this
project is to inform people, especially tourists,
that Peniche is so much more than surfing. The
main motivation of my research and practical
work is to give something back to the community,
to network with local people and to spread
awareness of Peniche heritage. “People of Peniche”
website is the final result of this master
thesis and represents a cohesive combination
between technical and ethnographical elements.
