  • I was encouraged to submit this by my web design lecture at UCE Birmingham. This website was created in relation to a media event which we created 10th of May. The event represents 7 different sectors of the media represented each by a group of students. Being a Web & New Media my job for the event was to create a website. The main goal was to aim it at people on our age and to expand on the concepts of Web 2.0. Basically the website is build so that each of the 7 groups got their own "site" for which they could provide their own content. They were given log in details and then via the back office they could write articles create galleries or submit their TV-Shows. It was up to each group to decide how they best could take advantage of the system. a further description of the site can be found on the site at: http://www.iproduce.org/web/index.php/2007/04/26/p13#more13

    The reason creating the site this way, was because the event included about 70 or 80 students. And I felt that especially for the ones that didn't get as much recognition in the event, maybe because some of the stuff they made (photos, articles, tv-shows etc.) was not used or they wanted to get recognition for it later, this was their opportunity to get their own login and then submitting their stuff online and then being able to refer to it when talking to potential employes etc. in the future.
