After doing lots of researching regarding Tiny Tech Academy, I now have to come up with a strategy for my website. I think that there are three important topics that need to be addressed on the website. These topics include the cast of characters, the purpose of the show, and statistics which support the need for a show like TTA. I think the most eye catching topic, which would draw people in to read more, is the statistics about minorities and STEM fields. Looking at other webpages dedicated to children's shows, such as pbskids.org, I knew I wanted something that was fun, colorful, but not too overkill especially since the audience for this webpage would likely be mostly adults. I definitely feel inspired by PBS Kids - since a lot of the shows they feature are less traditional than shows on networks such as Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. They are an established brand. Many of PBS Kids' shows are educational. Because of this and the fact that Tiny Tech Academy is also not traditional and is educational, I think it is a good inspiration.
The reading that we had to do also helped me to start considering a potential layout. This chapter of Above the Fold spoke about the essential elements found in a webpage. This included the header, navigation, feature area, body/content, sidebar, footer, and background. Since the website we are creating will be only one page, I may not use all of these elements. However, looking at them and how they are traditionally used helps me understand effective ways to activate the compositional space that I will be faced with.
