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

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
