What topic have you settled on, and why? I settled on Michael Jordan. This is the topic that I really wanted to do, and I feel this will be the one I can follow the guidelines the best and get the task done.

For what audience(s) and purpose(s) might you design this project? I was thinking for an audience, basketball enthusiasts, or anyone interested in sports stars. The purpose I want to design this project around is to inform my audience(whatever that may be) of Michael Jordan and his career in basketball from High School, all the way to his retirement and beyond, discussing not only his basketball, but also the other aspects of his life such as his design lines, advertisement, Jumpman clothing and shoe line.

What sources might you draw on? Internet sources, magazines, newspapers, biographies, sports books, game films

What genres might you use to represent your work? Not completely sure, but I definitely want to do a timeline (in order to create cohesion between my other genres) I was thinking an advertisement of some sort? My own design of course. Maybe an attempt to demonstrate how he played (of course I could never even come close to what he did, but I could do my best, and be entertaining while also informing the audience) ---I could shoot video of myself doing some layups or draining some shots, and then do my own voice-overs explaining what he may have done that I tried to replicate, or to compare what I did to gamefilm of what he did.

Just some ideas. I was also thinking maybe using the basketball jerseys I have of his for something, and using a duffel bag as a container.

Like I said, just some ideas rattling around inside my head.
