Journal 4: Project Plan (Rough Draft)

Site title -  Golden Express

Developer - Diana Shaibi, with recommendations/design commentary from the high school students of PCHS tutored at New Dimensions Community Services

Rational or focus - This website is to launch the organization they have been working on since the beginning of the school year. Thirteen ambitious high school students would like to create a community service organization called the Golden Express in order to communicate with patience at local hospitals that will be there for a while. From young children to the elderly, if you're in the hospital and have limited interaction with the outside world, high school students involved in the Golden Express will write letters to you to cheer you up and befriend you (like pen pals). 

Main features outline - The main features include history of the organisation, biographies of the writers, testimonials, pictures, affiliated hospitals, the opportunity to join the organisation and to donate, etc. 

Content - 23 or more pages (considering I want each writer's short biography on a separate page)

Target audience - Ambitious high school students and community members who'd like to make a difference

Design considerations. I want to follow the rule of thirds and keep a "golden" color scheme. 

Limiting factors - I will know the limiting factors as I troubleshoot this project. As of right now, things seem like it is working out well. As for the pictures and biographies of the students, I will make sure I have written and signed a release waiver to allow for their information to go online from their parents.
