Our Dreamings
The Ancient Traditional World of teh Warlpiri People.
DotCom Promotions developed a multimedia CD-ROM title for Chrysalis Productions and as part of that project we also developed a commercial website to aid in the marketing of that product. The graphic above is a montage of various elements of the CD-ROM and the website. It has since been updated to a Flash site using our original designs and graphics.
OUR DREAMINGS is an interactive Multimedia CD-ROM. This educational resource with comprehensive educational notes and links is highly recommended for teachers, students, art lovers and anyone wanting greater understanding and appreciation of Australian Aboriginal art and culture. You can explore the six beautiful paintings and other information easily from the main menu as you enter the ancient traditional world of the Warlpiri people from the central desert and discover their art and culture.
