places
I've tested the places idea by asking myself the question and making some mockups..
places
dark places - great stencil effect!
whilst i think it would make a good question to ask of people, i don't think the idea is strong enough to base the whole project on.

feelings
i have created a site which asks the user a question and encourages them to leave a response.
An interactive animation would then be made out of these responses.
I have accumulated many ideas about how to represent this by looking at various artworks that use typography.
i have analysed their techniques in detail and through experimentation i understand what works and what doesn't. These previous works are important in helping me develop ideas but i want to make sure the style and form of the animation is a reflection of the data i get and not just a poor copy of something i've seen before.
www.feelings.net
perhaps business cards with one of four questions and colours (with the web address on other side)
could be a good way to entice people to the site. easily distributed, hidden, smuggled in, stuck to walls etc..
What makes you happy?
What's your biggest regret?
Describe a place that's important to you?
What's your biggest fear in life?
these are potential question and will be refined after early testing. An introducion would also help guide the user to give more exciting responses.

genius idea? - a dark place
instead of asking people directly about their hopes and fears i think it would be more interesting to ask them about a place that makes them happy, sad or scared. and then perhaps i would discover their true feelings, reveal more about their personality and get a more interesting and exciting response with a better narrative.
i would ask them about the place and get them to describe it, and then go there to make a soundscape and take photos... maybe! cliche and been done before in sophie calle's work 'the bronx', i like the idea but would definitely present it different to her. for example, close up poetic photography which doesn't reveal too much about the location could be interesting combined with text and audio... short bursts of imagery perhaps.
would be exciting if the descriptions, stories and sounds brought the area to life in the viewers mind without actually showing a picture of it.
of course this idea could be done in a different way, simply as 1 question sent out in text format..
Describe a place that makes you happy, scared or sad and explain why it makes you feel this way?
