Blog Entry 2 Multimedia Capstone 1/5/2012

To make my goal come to real life, I decided to create a website that will host Public Service Announcements that will bring awareness to our community and hopefully will initiate a movement to make this change. I'm thinking about making my site a tone of green to represent the environment since I am making a motion to make the automotive industry environmentally friendly or "green." Along with the green background theme, I would like to also incorporate something that also represents the automotive industry so people will be able to instantly identify the point I am trying to get across. I find it appropriate if I approach this project with a serious attitude because this is a serious issue in our nation and I believe if I approach it in a comical, humorous way, people will over look the main motive I'm trying to portray and will instead focus on the humor. To get my point across and clearly understood to the public, I will provide several facts comparing the 2 different arguments in my project (polymer composites and plant fiber composites). If I am able to provide these facts in a clear and simple way for people to clearly understand, I feel this will grab the public's attention and make them aware and maybe have them go out and tell others about this. Along with the facts I will provide on my website, I will also do a series of Public Service Announcements giving a visual representation of my project and also providing an alternate way of persuading people to share the same the same motive as I do. Other visual representations I might also incorporate in my website might including some graphs to show different stats to also give a clear description of what I am trying to explain. My intentions of this website is to raise awareness to the public of this issue and hopefully will result in a more massive motion to make this change take place.
