Overview of our project

Have you ever wondered how much colleges spend on sports like football? Dylan, Adam, Yuqi, and Matt are going to create a website for English 104. Our group met on Thursday, April 07, 2011. We have a solid base for our website and we are putting it together. We have all of our sources and have all the information we need to complete the project. We have stayed connected through email and text messages.

For our multi-modal project we are making a website over the college budgets of various football teams. Ball State, Purdue and Auburn are the colleges that our website will focus on. It will be a website designed to capture the eye and inspire the mind. Our website includes graphs and charts that visualize the data so that our viewers can easily comprehend the information.

Dylan was in charge of designing the website. Each of the schools will be broken down by Adam, Yuqi, and Matt. Adam will give information on Auburn. Yuqi will be writing about Ball State. Matt will provide data on Purdue. Overall, the group will gather all of our combined information and put it together to form a website.

  1. Where is your bibliography of book sources you intend to use for your research project? What is the overall argument of your site? Are you trying to make some kind of point about football budgets?

    How do you plan to use design and organization to make your Web site attractive to your audience?
