For the first idea, I wanted to make
a website with our own class, and possibly the department, in mind as the audeince.
I wanted it to look like it could be some sort of extension from the website
http://classes.design.ucla.edu/Winter06/161B/index.html
This idea came from the fact that I was trying to use thumbnails for each report,
and to use the presenter's photo seemed like a logical, consistent, and intuitive
thing to do. From there, I decided that the best way to approach that would
be to acknowledge this as a series of reports by students within the Dynamic
Web class. Besides "Dynamic Web" does have a nice ring to it, in terms
of a title of this page.
The second idea is geared towards a more general audience, possibly one that may or may not be as familar w/ the internet than others. The basic structure is based off of the Help menu website we can see with almost any program, such as Flash or Photoshop. This website http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ has a similar structure to what I was thinking of: They often have the table of contents as a frame or column of sorts on the left, and at the bottom of each section, a link to the next section or any other related sections.
The third idea goes with the concept of the internet as an event with history and a growth with the passing of time. There is a timeline of sorts at the bottom, and the user clicks on a name to learn more about it. At the current moment, I would need to correct the times to be completely accurate
The fourth idea shows the connections between the various reports, or at least tries to. The idea here is to sort out all of the projects, in order to see the trends and elements of the development of the internet
The fifth idea is similar to the first, in that it is more aimed at the department and class than it is to outsiders. I tried doing a more graphical way of presenting all of the reports as easy to access links all at once.
