Blog Post #1: Project Web


            Getting started on a website in order to inform the people of Los Angeles, the Dodger fans, and descendants of Chavez Ravine about what truly happened is going to be a challenge. Once me and my group got together and chose the topic that we were going to focus on there was already controversy about which way to go with it. We were disagreeing on so many levels that I thought we were never going to reach a compromise. Though we began simply on how we wanted the front page to look. We wanted to go with dark colors in order to portray the seriousness of the event we are informing the citizens of Los Angeles of. We also, decided to meet two days in order to first get the project started roughly and the second day to wrap it up with our finishing touches. In our first meeting we headed over to one of my colleagues house in order to get started. We got together and thought of reenacting the pictures, but we then decided to scrap the whole idea, because we believed that it was better to stick to hard information and appealing to emotion. Though about halfway through the project we decided to go a different way and we dropped some of our crucial and big parts of our website. At this time I thought we never going to be able to get it done. Hopefully we can figure out a way that we can all agree on completely and actually get started on the website. All the information and visuals that we have to find should have meaning and purpose and we intend to find the best of all. It is going to be a challenge now that we change our whole direction of the website project.
