Website Assignment
I centered my website on the “Anti Craigslist’s” view point of prostitution. Instead of being used for selling junk, finding jobs, and community events I put an emphasis on the personal ads and the prostitution side of the website. It is meant to make people laugh but also consider the prevalence of prostitution in today’s society. The saying goes that prostitution is the oldest business but in today’s shiny, clean and modern society it’s something that you wouldn’t think would really flourish. But ask anyone in the world and you will see that prostitution is still massively prevalent world wide. When you think of your average Joe you may perhaps think of old desperate men who can only get sex by paying for it. But the demographic is normally very different. It varies widely across all ages and locations.
Timely redesign following Reid's speech last week. The site is way more flashy than CL, I'm just wondering if your message is loud enough. Maybe a logo redesign or something in the graphics that makes your point? Overall a good idea and pertinent to discussions that the state of NV will be having this year.
ReplyDeleteThats a really strong statement. Looks great! I like the idea too! nice work!
ReplyDeleteThis webpage re-purposing is a well done piece. I can kind of see the message you are trying to portray in this project. It seems you did not really change much of the text at all but clip the craigslist listings over some enticing images. You made the personal listings very central in the ad making your statement bold. I would have to say that without your artist statement I wouldn't have thought you were joking or bring attention to the subject but merely flashing the attention towards prostitution in neither a positive or negative way. Great use of the color red and coordination throughout the project, great work.
ReplyDeleteI felt this was extremely effective and a great creative idea. Your statement is clearly made and does a great job portraying the concept of prostitution and its representation in our modern society.
