Three Possible Projects
Culture
By living in a small village, Hilltown Co. Down, every year we have a culture event. It is called the Boley fair. In this there are different events that are shown for five days off how people lived years ago and what tools they used to complete things. For example farming, different ways to which they picked spuds, cut silage etc...! I know personally myself that there are a lot of places throughout Ireland that have these events, so what I propose is to create a website that will allow the cultured people to go visit each one of these at their leisure, it will show what each one has to offer what all they show, how long they last etc...
Pros
This website would allow people to find out where each one was being held, what time of the year it was happening on, (for booking accommodation etc...) it allows them to catch up on the history of Ireland that a lot of people still don’t know, and also is a great social event as your able to mingle with new people from different parts of Ireland.
Cons
It could be difficult to try and get all the information from each town, village that holds these events. Some of them could be the same as each other but this is a risk that I’m going to have to take.
The Gaa highlights
Because we live in the North of Ireland we aren’t able to use the RTÉ website to view all the games that maybe we missed due to working. So I thought I would great a website that is a bit like BBC Iplayer to were sporting fans of the Gaa are able to view games that they have missed or maybe want to watch again, as I know because of how well down done this year I’d like to watch a view of them again.
Pros
The pros of this idea are that it could be a big hit with the whole of the north. A lot of people are crazy about the sport and would love the idea of a website that would allow you to watch whatever match that happened this year in the championship. It could be developed into getting older videos etc... And allowing people to watch these sports in the older years.
Cons
Some of the games in sports like camogie and ladies football may not have been recorded as it’s the north that it’s played in. RTÉ might have an issue with this happening. Could be a lot of work in it due to tracking were every video is.
Prizes on TV shows
Most people don’t believe that these are real. But with my personal experience by actually winning one I could promote the fact that they are real and there are some great prizes to be won. I could promote all the great prizes that are here to be won.
Pros
With me actually winning one I can persuade people that they are real and are worth texting into.
Will give people hope and maybe even a great prize
Cons
You’re not always going to win but there is no harm in trying by texting into the shows as they aren’t going to cost you any more than £3.50.
Five Inspiring Websites
Google
I know a lot of people are going to be putting this website down as an inspiring website but how could you possibly not. This website has been inspiring to me because of the information it gives you in the web part, eg; Html codes for writing websites, different types of websites that there is etc...!
The images part of Google allows you to see different images that people may have taking and inspire me into, I could use this location, I could try this focus, this light etc...
TutVid
If you have a look at this website you will understand more so than what I can explain now to how this website has been more inspiring to me than anything else. In this website it gives tips on how to do things with in adobes programs. It is very good in the way as it will make you want to do things better in every way and this website will show you how to do this. In other words it is giving you new ideas into how to create stuff which therefore is going to lead to the work being the best of which it can be.
sxc.hu
This website helps me when I was creating my websites throughout the year of my placement. This was a great website because of what it offers you, stock images which some are free and others that you may have to pay for.
This website allows you to create banners, merchandise etc... Through stock photos and it means you will not cross any guidelines from the copyright act.
CSS Remix
This is by no means a bad website. This website shows you the new style of CSS’s that most companies are going to be looking for as were moving on in style and each company will want to progress in every way possible that they can.
Vector stock
This is another website that I found very useful towards my year out on work experience this site I gained through the graphic designer with whom I worked with. This is like sxc.hu but in a way it’s different as all it offers to you is vector images. Although this is all they offer, they are still great for banners, background images, buttons etc...
