M3 - Unit 3: Codes & Conventions

Codes & Conventions of a website: What exactly are codes? Codes are sign systems that generate context. Technical and symbolic codes are the two types of codes that exist. Technical codes refer to all of the different ways that equipment is used to tell a story in a media document, such as camera work in a film. Symbolic codes reveal what lies under the visible surface. A character's acts, for example, reveal how he or she is feeling.

Originally my plan was to use the teams to create a tournament style voting system that allowed for the users on social media to vote for who they wanted or who they want to win.
