Make your own ‘Limited-myth’

Reading ‘A Sardine street box of tricks’ was very interesting and could be extremely helpful if what you want to do is make a guided tour of a specific street within your site especially if like ours it is a wide site i.e the high street. The phrase used to describe how to make your own mis-guided tour is “turning these street into their own limitied myths and sharing them around.”(Crabman and Signpost,2011) I found this a great quote as it shows you can use everything about to the street itself to turn it in to a ‘myth’ and take people on this tour to share with them the secrets of the street and how you percieve it.
In our group we have decided to observe the way the high street moves and at what happens at certain times in the day, doing so we are using the idea the situationists called ‘drifts’ or ‘derives’ in which you walk along the street and allow yourself to be drawn by different atmospheres and ambience’s attending to people’s emotional responses to places as they pass through them. By looking at the different emotions in different places and differe occurrances throughout the day in the high street we are also looking at ‘psychogeorgraphy’.
Although, we aren’t creating a ‘mis-guided tour’ of our site we are using some of the ideas we liked from a sardine street box of tricks.
