I have a strange obsession with dogs, particularly those poor furbabies without a home stuck in an over-crowded shelter. My site will be dedicated to finding homes for dogs in local shelters(San Antonio to Austin but with a bigger focus on Hays County.) Most shelters have their own website but due to lack of funding they don’t usually have current information.

Other than the home page, the site will have a “Pet of the Week” page featuring a new puppy and its adoption info every week, a “Contact your local shelter page”, a “Not ready to adopt?” page with ways to help by volunteering and donations, and I think it would be really cool to have a “Success story” page of recently adopted dogs, but I do not know how realistic it would be to keep up with. I’ve also thought of having a page dedicated to my pup, Jacks, because he was the inspiration for this and I love showing him off.

I do not have a color scheme in mind yet but want something neutral. Pale yellow and gray, maybe? I also couldn’t really find any inspiration from another site. I’ve been on the computer a lot the past few days researching for other things and they’re all starting to look the same.

I’m a member of the Texas State Fencing Club, but we don’t currently have a website, so I’m going to make a website for the club. Besides the homepage, there will be a page for how to join the club, a contact page, a gallery page, and a tournament page for upcoming tournaments and outside tournaments that members might be interested in. I might also add a couple of other pages: a resources page that shows different things like places to buy gear and videos to watch and also a history page for learning more about the club.

The club’s logo is a skull with the three fencing weapons behind it. The logo is white, black, maroon, and gold, so I’ll be using those colors.

I like CBS’s website layout: http://www.cbs.com/. It’s similar to how I want my homepage, with a horizontal navigation and slideshow gallery below that.

I’m choosing to write my new blog about record collecting and local music shops in the Hays County/Austin/San Antonio areas. Music is something I’m really passionate about, and I just get really hyped about records. I love that it’s an old-school format with such a new, enthusiastic cult following. Besides my homepage, I’m planning to have a music review page, an interview page with store owners or fellow collectors (kind of like a “what’s in my bag” thing), updates on music festivals/shows, and maybe like a community forum where I’d allow people to contribute what artists they like to listen/collect. Debates and such. I don’t have a color scheme yet but it will be of my choosing. Wish me luck!

I really like Pitchfork‘s site design. Hopefully I can emulate that into mine.

The topic I will be covering is hunting for this next website. My dad’s hobby is hunting and he came to visit me this weekend and when I told him about this assignment he gave me the idea. Besides the home page, I will have a page on what you can hunt, types of ammo and guns or bows needed/ can get, where in Texas can you hunt, Gun training, and apparell. The color scheme for hunting is camoflauge, so shades of green and brown.
