Media

In our media lesson we have started a new topic on campaigns. We will be creating a website which informs people of whats going on in the media scene. Each of our websites will include the following headlines:

Film/Theatre
Music
Roles/Jobs within Media etc
Latest News
Places to visit/events

The sofware we are using to produce our websites is called iweb. We have had a lesson on how to use it and will hopefully be easy to use. Before learning about the program we were taught what makes a good or a bad website. Firstly we were shown the 5 most visited websites of the year which included such as google. Then we were shown the 5 worst. By seeing this I learnt what factors should be considered when creating a good website:
Have a clear target audience
Clear Format
Only use images you have the copyright to
Use redable fonts
Use suitable images and text for your topic
Have useful and informative

My website is called Whats the 411? I named it this because it basically asks what's going on? and my website tells all about the media scene. My logo is a mouth, I chose this because news is spread by word and communicating to others.
