All gave me extra information and more knowledge to go to what I will try and achieve with the website being produced by me.
Idea
• The main idea is to produce a website based around the Isle of Man TT legend John Mcguinness.
• Its going to be kind of like auto-biographical in the way it is but with articles involved charting his history to do with the TT and why he has become so well known.
Why I chose topic
• Interest• Know about it• New sport• Stories• Who, what, why• Questions to be answered
How I plan for website to look
• Mix of dark and bright colours but mainly on a dark coloured theme as a case of respect
• To have images relating to what the website is about but that are ones that are iconic
• And that it generally has a good feel about it that will give across information to anyone who has not heard about what the website is about
Background/color schemes of website
• Dark/light colors for theme of website• Possibly of a bike racing image • But more a mix of colors• Just to make sure it links into website• Hope it works what background I choose

Descriptive words• Dreams• Danger• Truthful• Legend• Mystical• Secretive• Mystery• Informed• Passionate• Desire• Legend• historical
