I think I have finally decided on a focus for my Hidden project. I think I'm going to concentrate on Chinese. I want to explore their written language and how it was built by using pictures and symbols. Apparently quite a lot of their written words are based on a pictorial representation of what they are trying to say. I find this really interesting. I think I will try and animate the symbols coming together with explanations of what each part means and why they are in that particular word.
