Quatrathlon?

So, I've narrowed it down to two directions: 1) a traditional looking, crisp website with strict rhetorical aims, like it has been outlined in the reflection brainstorming or 2) a four-event image map, with the projects set into athletic metaphors. The five events of a pentathlon are long jump, javelin throw, discus throw, 180 meter dash, and wrestling. I would do, pole vault for wikitravel (moving great distances, knowing how to evade the bar), archery for SNS (hitting the mark), short foot race for enthusiast blog (running from zombies, staying ahead of the curve), and wrestling for website redesign (wrestling between clear and interesting design). However, I will probably go with option 1, because the simple rhetorical structure of an obstacle surmounted gets lost in the abstraction of option 2.
