Research into topic Books Newspapers Newspaper articles Magazines Magazine articles TV for quotes DVDs for quotes All gave me extra information and more knowledge to go to what I will try and achieve with the website being produced by me.
Idea • The main idea is to produce a website based around the Isle of Man TT legend John Mcguinness. • Its going to be kind of like auto-biographical in the way it is but with articles involved charting his history to do with the TT and why he has become so well known.
Why I chose topic • Interest • Know about it • New sport • Stories • Who, what, why • Questions to be answered
How I plan for website to look • Mix of dark and bright colours but mainly on a dark coloured theme as a case of respect • To have images relating to what the website is about but that are ones that are iconic • And that it generally has a good feel about it that will give across information to anyone who has not heard about what the website is about
Background/color schemes of website • Dark/light colors for theme of website • Possibly of a bike racing image • But more a mix of colors • Just to make sure it links into website • Hope it works what background I choose
Other websites looked at • Isle of Man TT website http://www.iomtt.com/ • Motorcycle news website http://www.motorcyclenews.com/ • Real road racing http://www.realroadracing.com/ • Autosporthttp://www.autosport.com/ • BBC sport http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/ • Sky sports http://www.skysports.com/
Comparisons with websites • They all have significant images within them • The correct information • Not over the top backgrounds • Majority look the same but some different • Forums • Links to social networking sites now
Information I have taken on-board • Information has to be accurate • Get the right colors/color schemes • Background links into subject • Add in links • The added use of social networking • Forums are good places to find information
Descriptive words • Dreams • Danger • Truthful • Legend • Mystical • Secretive • Mystery • Informed • Passionate • Desire • Legend • historical
