Simulated Client Project

Having been thinking about my simulated client project since we received the brief on Monday, I have decided on how I will approach the project. Rather than create a normal informative website about piracy I wanted to make people aware of the dangers in a more interesting way. I have therefore decided to create a site which is set out like one offering you free downloads of chart films and songs. The website will contain lists of current chat items which have a download link next to them, however, rather than actually downloading a film or song, it will download a pdf file which contains information about the dangers of piracy and illegal downloading.

After reading the assessment criteria for the project I feel I can match each one at a high end with such an idea. I will be able to demonstrate my knowledge of the current industry but applying an interesting design to the website which fits in with the current trend of web 2.0 sites with lots of texture and attention to detail on background images and text. I will also be able to show my knowledge of typography by using different styles in an effective way. I may also be able to incorporate video and sound into the website to make it look more authentic. I may possibly decide to experiment with HTML5 and CSS3 also.

The research I conduct on the dangers of piracy will be easily incorporated into downloaded file and I will also be able to make this look very relevant to the current industry, once again through the use of texture and typography.
