Curation Process

This week for my curation process I have been thinking of ways to layout my website. I've decided to use the wix website builder to create my site. I haven't specifically started anything for it but I have been planning where I want certain images and text placed. I want to do a curation on the easiest way to understand hockey so you can enjoy watching the games. To go a little more outside the box I'm going to try and make an interactive website with more images/pictures so people don't get bored reading a bunch of text. My goal is to show how fun and exciting hockey really is. I used to hate it so much until I looked beyond just sticks and an object to hit around. So by making the site more interactive I hope I can get people into a more entertained mindset. 

At this point in the process of curation, I haven't done any research or focused on information based ideas. I have mostly been looking at tutorials and re-learning all the photoshop and HTML tricks and tips. One tutorial I found is about making an image clickable and creating a specific path to certain parts of the website. I'm also looking for a tutorial that allows certain parts of an image to be more interactive than other parts.

My biggest obstacle, I believe, is making my whole idea come to life. I used to love doing stuff like this and working with HTML code and creating my own graphics, but it can be time consuming and sometimes it doesn't always come out like you plan. And even beyond that, some of the things I want done might be more difficult than what I could do. Either way it will be hard to create my site in a way that's totally different than what's already out there. 

The next steps in my curation process is to start finding images to edit and to touch up, or use my own images and edit all of those. I want to get the idea and layout setup first and then after that research for my topic. I need to research each individual team and create some sort if interactive lineup that can give out information about each player and that specific team. Lastly, hopefully I can put everything together enough for my topic to get officially approved by Mr. Allen. My goal by the end of the week is to have a sample/general idea page all setup.
