Progression is the key


So i have finally come up with my final idea for my project after days of deliberation and mental strain. I started off using a lightbulb and decided to present a pretty straight forward but power message through my interactive project. My idea is that the screen will start with about 8 or 9 lightbulbs on it. The viewer will be able to click on any of the light bulbs to turn it on. After doing so they will notice that part of a message or background will be lit up only revealing part of it's full idea. The more light bulbs that are clicked on the more of the message the viewer will be able to see. Each light bulb will represent a certain group of people, although im not sure what groups i want represented through each light bulb. The idea is that each group of people sheds light on pieces of the puzzle or problem and that even though they are all trying to achieve the same goal, their light wont be enough to view the entire piece. After all the light bulbs are clicked on a light switch will appear that will be labeled either "Everyone" or "A Collective Effort" and after it is switched on by the user the entire message will be lit up, which means that if the people work as a whole, they will be able to solve more problems than if they work individually and for themselves rather than for the common good.
