Welcome
"Beyond The Glass," was a project developed to better understand the unique voices on the issue of Iraq. With weeks of research and the help of volunteers, I was able to put together an interactive document of factual and opinionated information on the war. The reason the title of the project is “Beyond The Glass”, is because as we all know, most of us hear about the war through the media. This is the glass we watch it all happen. Most of us believe every word they say, but are they right?
As you scroll through the project you will notice that there are three different environments, a house, a press room and on the field in Iraq. Each place you will find someone whoa certain type of information. There are a few hidden elements within the project, so scroll around and see what you can find.
