Web site themes

1. I like the idea of an image map. My initial idea was of a desert island. When the mouse was over an image (like a treasure chest) the treasure chest would open up and reveal something related to whatever project it would be attached. A group of zombies chasing a guy would then show them catching him and also show that it was for my enthusiast blog. A dinner with the natives people would link to the El Fuego remake site. But this doesn't have much rhetorical clout.

2. Thinking about the things that link my process blogs and my experience with the class together is ups and downs of the internet and electronic writing. So in this way, still using an image map, I could have a treasure map. Implying that certain things about the internet, or certain parts of the class, have come to be special and necessary towards getting to a golden goal.

3. #2 is more rhetorical than #1 but it's still more fun and visual than professional. In any case, the reflective blurbs for each of the projects will reflect the good and bad, the difficulties and success of each project. Considering this, each reflective portion could be formed this way:
Project: To create a web site which showcases the projects completed in WRT 235.
What I learned: Creating a web site with a uniform rhetoric is more difficult than it seems. Sometimes fun has to be sacrificed in order to get one's point across.
Having a straightforward and uniform design makes the site more intelligible but less exciting.

A NEW IDEA APPROACHES

I could use an image map and set up my site as a pentathlon. The question is would I use traditional athletics for the relevant portions of the class, like discus throw, hurdles, long jump. Or create bizarre new visual depictions of each project? As wikitravel is an information ecology, maybe its a matter of collecting information... as I think about each of the projects, they were always primarily matters of collecting information... the SNS and the blog were matters of collecting information. Then again, the images don't have to relate directly to the nature of the project, the enthusiast blog could be a race from zombies. The website redesign could be a cook-off. The SNS could be catching discus-throw puppies. :/ Having each event be bizarre as an athletic event like a cook-off may destroy the rhetoric. But if I put a spin on classic athletic events it may work.
