Project 2 of The Electronic Landscape requires me to design a 6 page website. This website will be inspired by one or two pre-existing websites. My idea for this assignment is to combine two contrasting websites: contrasting in terms of both style and purpose. Using at least three different layouts, I am to critically engage with the HTML/CSS code as well as the content of my website.
The topic around which I plan to design my website is that of piracy. Music, video, game, and even picture piracy has existed for years. It is a topic of controversy, debate, and more often than not involves money or lost sales. I find this an important issue in today's society; especially with the growing popularity of BitTorrent and other peer-to-peer file sharing protocols. The recent events of LimeWire's shutdown and The Pirate Bay's time in court are also factors which swayed me in deciding on this as a subject for my website. I've got some interesting ideas for this assignment; let's just hope their implementation won't be too difficult.
