Many other ideas also come to mind. I am also a huge fan of the Communications Department and was thinking about creating a website specifically for the Comm. Program and developing ideas from that. This site would include lists of events as well as descriptions of the classes offered. It would be really cool to have a website that truly captures the students and faculty of the Comm. Department. We are very much like a family here, so I think that it would be interesting to make a website that is basically about "us." The website could also include updates about Comm. graduates and what they have been up to after graduation. It would also be really exciting to work on with the new studio coming in.
Other things that come to mind include a website about coffee and coffee-drinking. As a college student, I love coffee. Many people don't know much about how many different types of beans there are and where they come from. It would be cool to have a whole website about types of coffees. It could include recipes, information about the different regions the beans come from, and about the coffee-drinking experience itself. Who doesn't love shops like our local Lost Dog Coffee or Port City Java? The website could also focus on the local shops and what they have to offer.
Another idea I had was to create a website featuring day trips. There are so many historic locations around this area and many people don't realize it. The day trip website would include features that show you how to economize your day trip or mini vacation. It would feature tabs like which restaurants to eat at, which hotels to stay at, and which hot spots to check out. Places like Washington D.C. or Ocean City are right nearby and offer so many activities to make your day trip/vacation fun.
There are so many ideas that come to mind, but it is difficult to choose. I'm not very sure which one would work out better, but I am excited to get started. In a few days, my ideas could change. This is what I have for now.
I like the coffee idea better because it's something you are less likely to get sick of. Plus, I think if you are interested in coffee you may learn a lot from it as well. I work at the Wellness Center and their classes change every month so it will be hard to keep up with. Especially because our websites won't be done until the end of the semester and classes you write about may not even be on the schedule for the Spring so it may be a waste of your time.
ReplyDeleteI agree; I think the coffee idea is definitely the strongest of the three. I especially like the notion of making it local; I have heard cool things about the Lost Dog (Garth once took China Kitchen's turtles for ransom? It could be hearsay... but I don't know) that would be cool to explore. Coffee is such a college staple, I know I'd definitely be into a website that explored that topic.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with coffee as well! There is so much information to be placed on a website about it, so you may never run out of information. I really like coffee as well, but I really know nothing about the different kinds or any recipes invovling coffee, so I really think it would be an interesting topic!
