first project

for the first project i need to create a product based on contrasting strategies. for example i could create a webpage that is anti-smoking but to do this i must find an effective way to get across this message. the best way to find this is to research some anti-smoking sites,look at their layout and see what style of images and design they use. but then i must look at pro-smoking websites and see how they differentiate. after looking at some websites for pro/anti smoking it surprised me the styles the websites went for. the anti-smoking websites were as expected and had clean looking and clinical style. the images were of people wearing nicotine patches and destroying cigarets. the thing that surprised me was the style of pro smoking sites. one of them was FOREST (freedom organization for the right to enjoy smoking tobacco)as expected it had images of people smoking but the style of them was interesting. the images were of old men smoking on their own with a dark background.i think that the images made smoking look dirty ,antisocial and give a different affect than the site intended. if i were to make photos for a pro smoking website i would make it appear more like the style of a beer advert.i would have a group of people in the same image doing/watching an activity and looking like they are having fun and making smoking seem like a fun enjoyable thing to do. the layout and color of the webpage was a plain white with a red  heading
