For my final project in our class, the creative gallery, it was important to me to utilize a concept that we learned about in class. The day that stuck in my mind the most was the day we looked at the website Night of Melvin's Murder. I really liked how it gave users options as to the path they chose to go for accessing another page. I decided to take this concept and apply it to the subject I used this past semester of European football. I used some of the most famous players in the game and found connections among them. Since certain teams have more money to purchase top competitors, these are the teams that typically have the best players like Spain. Although I used less links than the site that inspired the project, it was extremely time consuming to find links for some of the players. Taking as much time as it did for the forteen players I represented, made me appreciate the site Night of Melvins Murder even more. One challenge that I faced where the creators of that site did not was that I was not creating fiction. I had to find connections among the players that were factual so it made it more difficult and took more time. I made sure to incorporate forwards, midfielders, defenders, and even a goalie to create my own All Star Team. The concept also made me think of how our culture sometimes trys to link celebrities like actors or singers in magazines regarding their dating history or present. In Europe, these players are some of the top celebrities so it would be possible for a form of these connections to exist. Enjoy
