Project Idea

Originally my idea was to do a website on how the rave scene in America used the Internet to grow, to show how the Internet was used to spread awareness of the rave scene etc. The idea was to look at how participants in the rave scene used the Internet to communicate and promote future events, find friends from previous raves and the like. I still am interested in this but I think it might be too difficult because there isn't likely to be much information available on this subject. So my alternative idea is to do a website on the history of rave from the beginning up until the past few years. It will be a multimedia experience with audio samples, and maybe even video. I will probably use flash to some extent even though I usually don't like, I think it would be ideal for this type of project.

You really need to focus your topic on something about the internet rather than on something about raves. The first topic is still possible since it combines the two -- the internet and its use in organizing and spreading a particular subculture. But the second one lacks that connection. Keep thinking on it, and come talk with me soon.
