This website has links such as "photoshoots", "awards","family", "movies", etc...All of the links are related to his life, his career, his success, and--naturally--his body. I would say that the relationship between these topics are all good publicity; they all show him in the best possible light in order to entice his fans.
Having these links creates a sense of connectedness. If they were not all somehow linked into the same page, most of its audience would probably only research individual interests, such as pictures or movies he's been in. However, because all of his information is linked into such a close knitted area, convenience kicks in and allows for curiosity to lead the audience to more information.
I think the design of this website is very clever in working with the curiosity of the readers. An automatic slideshow on the homepage capturing pictures as a preview to each of the individual tabs. With this preview, and attached title, there is a pull towards knowing more about such capturing images. Consequently, I would say that images are the stronger aspect of this website's appeal to linking.
i love this idea. it's like you get to be in high school again;) remember when you could write book reports on harry potter? this will be fun for you- personally, i think it's a good thing to choose a project based on something... light, ya know? if i had chosen to work with the elections, or an organization or something- the seriousness would be too much stress. this is the first project like this i've ever attempted, so i think things like pride and prejudice and channing tatum are perfect- more focus on what we are learning in the class than on important or heavy issues.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! I feel like with these lighter subjects we'll get to focus more on the design and display of our website-which is the focus of this class-and not so much on the content. I'm pretty excited! haha. It makes me miss the days I actually thought he was all that...Step Up 1 Days...hahaha
ReplyDeleteOh boy.
ReplyDeleteOn my wife's "5 Celebrities that you can... you know" she has put him on the list and taken him off the list. Again and again. As it stands now, he is off and the list consists of two people: Zac Efron and Ryan Gosling.
I'll point her in the direction of your site when you put it up :)
