This website takes you to a product created by Smash Magazine that has compiled all the best website design articles and information. I find something like this would be very useful for this program of study.

Pomegranate Phone NS08

This is a link to a parody website that I think is really good, and it's really funny. It's actually an advertisement for Nova Scotia tourism and they figured a website like this would be amusing and get people's attention.

many different way to use illustrator and create web

This is a good web-site to tell us how to create the logo, and something we want to make but we do not know how.

50 Best Female Website Designers

This website adds a new perspective to the best websites. Some of them are fairly feminine, but some of the designs are more universal.

Other Good Websites

This is another company that compiles the best websites, in their opinion. Again, this is what I like to see, purely for the creativity that comes from people.

50 CSS website designs

This website is from Smash Magazine and features the 50 best CSS website designs. I like looking at other websites for inspiration. I like to see other areas of creativity that vary from mine. This enables me to think beyond my regular inspirations and it pushes me to do better.

http://www.smirnoff.com/

Exploit the propaganda-like advertisements of Smirnoff. Reveal more raw truths to alcohol use/abuse as opposed to the candy-coated everyon'e-hip-and-cool view they give. Redesign ads with crude images of the other side of parties (puking, hangovers, the morning after the party, fighting, drunk driving, underage drinking, rape).


http://www.msnbc.com/

Make a parodic news site satirizing the current state of the US and the things that are going on with the government and in the public. (Similar to The Onion.)


http://www.accesshollywood.com/

Satirize a "hollywood news" website like Access Hollywood over the pettiness of their topics and long-winded never-ending coverage on "scandals" and affairs.

Very creative BSers

Recall on Women

God Recalls Women

Spoof encyclopedia website. Article about God supposedly recalling dysfunctional women.

Spoof Website

Wife Swap

I was inspired by this article about a previous episode of Wife Swap. The teenager that appeared on the show is suing ABC for "making her look like a spoiled brat". She claims ABC spoiled her reputation so she is suing them for $100 million. I think the things that people sue companies for is just ridiculous, there is so much better things our country can do with that money instead of using it for settlements like that. I want to make a attorney website that claims they will help people who were "wronged", but really it will just show clients who sued for things you would never be able to get away with.

Designer Babies

I find it morally wrong that science has gone so far these days that parents can now pick and choose which traits their unborn children can have. Has our world really become so obsessed with being perfect that we need to control our children before they are even born? I think it would be amusing to make a designer baby website. Kind of like one of those make over websites where you can choose hairstyles, eye color, clothing, etc. and then see your "model", except you can do all that to create your baby.

Vampires

It seems like our soceity has become obsessed with vampires. Since Twilight, vampires have been popping up everywhere, different tv series, they even appear on some medical tv shows. Maybe make a website saying vampires are real, showing "proof" of them in the real world, fake witness accounts, maybe even claims to have ben bitten by a vampire, that sort of thing.

Spoof

http://www.ricedrides.com/

A peeve of mine, as a mechanic and car enthusiast is "riced" or "ricer" cars. These are defined and easily noticed as cars with too many accessories, stickers and ridiculous modifications that often provide no real performance or aesthetic advantage. So as a spoof or parody I think a site that emphasized the over use of "ricer" ideas would be funny. Some people would even find it as serious b/c just from experience there are more then enough people out there that think their cars look good. These websites are two that are Anti-ricer "dedicated" to letting people know there is ridiculous cars out there. The one website is a real website dedicated to showing well designed, not riced, cars. I would probly base my webpage on the Super street site. make it dedicated to making ricer cars and making them look ridiculous

3 Media Example

Online Dating
Instead of making an online dating site, i was going to make a website about breaking up bad relationships but have it look like a happy thing. Or maybe online dating for dogs or something.

Victoria's Secret
Every girl wishes they looked like a Victoria secret model, so i was thinking of making a website for Victoria's secret where the models were not something you wanted to look like.

Online Restaurant
A website that you can actually order food online as if you were sitting in the restaurant would be ironic seeing as you cannot get the food out of your computer. Basically an online restaurant that can only lead to disappointment.

Sport Scandals Spoofs

I've always been exposed to all the sport scandals shown on news channels, sport channels, and gossip channels as well. And to be honest I am not even a huge sport fan, I may watch a few games here and there but not enough to keep track of every player. However, when a scandal is revealed and it has to do with a super popular sports athlete then all hell breaks loose.

http://www.sportalicious.com/


And there is a huge list of sport scandals and things not to do if any of these famous names ever were idols for fans of all ages. There is Tonya Harding, Oj Simpson, Tiger Woods, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and more! And most people will either know these names for 2 reasons, because they were really good at what sport they played or because the scandal they were involved in was really juicy.

http://sports.gunaxin.com/te-of-the-biggest-sports-scandals/19904

So I want to base my site around famous athletes that have gotten caught at doing something or someone they shouldnt of been doing. And I want to make fun of them to no extent and take no consideration in offending anyone because there will be plenty of offended people in this spoof site. But, sometimes that is what will make a good laugh is at anothers expense. And I want to show how the media effects the scandal by interfering in a person's personal affairs just because they are famous.
