Mini-Project Brief: The Beginning

"Project Introduction:
The simulated project lasts three weeks. This project is designed to give you experience of the production process in anticipation of your live project. In industry the turn around for similar projects would be approximately one week and so this short project aims to help you understand more about the “pace” or “work rate” required of multimedia practitioner in the commercial arena. 

The Brief:
Produce a short multimedia piece that informs about or illustrates Digital Piracy."

I have decided upon constructing a basic website that focuses on the aesthetics, rather than the technical side of web design. The website will focus on educating people new to ''Pirating'', and serving as a sort of 'mythbuster' to new users, or curious passer-bys. I am going to try and keep the website as neutral as possible in terms of viewpoints.

Additionally, the website will only consist of, at most, 4 pages. I have already decided on 3 pages that will be included, with the option of adding a fourth. These are:
  • Home Page (Will serve as the 'About' section, including information about the site, the principle behind it and me, the owner).
  • FAQ Page (The area with the most relative content, mainly questions relating to the consequences and arguments for and against piracy).
  • Links Page (An area for further reading, citing sources and informational links regarding piracy).
  • Glossary(?) - Optional Page (A page explaining acronyms and specific terminology).
I have yet to decide on things like the colour scheme, layout and style of the website, although it's highly likely that I'll use colours that are fitting and relate to piracy/pirates. E.g. Black, White, splashes of Blue.

I have already taken the liberty of designing several logo ideas, which I will upload when I have access to a scanner. Developed ideas will be produced in Photoshop for an accurate comparison to logo's that are currently in use.
