ok, so now after reading the comments to my last post, i feel bad because i don't want to be "that guy" that holds out on what i've got up my sleeve for my project. the honest truth is that i'm a strong subscriber to the philosophy of openly sharing knowledge - that's how i learned almost everything i know!
the short story is that the content will be based on guitars. i love music and i play guitar, among some other instruments. the 5-8 pages of stuff will be based on this this interest of mine. one of the nice things about taking something like guitars as a website's topic is that, as any luthier will tell you, a fine instrument's visual appearance is a significant portion of the art - this can be helpful with the visual design portion of the site. however...
i love beer. while flavors of beers aren't transferrable over the internet, their colors are. one of the major attributes within beer tasting is the color of the beer (consider the head and body of Guinness compared to Miller Lite or Killian's Irish Red). i was considering taking some of those naturally occuring color combinations and using them as my color scheme - or something like that! the nice thing about both beers and woods that make up guitars, is that they both have similar neutral colors that may be able to serve as inspiration for the site's overall color.
well, i hope that i'm not that guythat everyone thinks is hiding everything for my own personal benefit! :) basically, the way i'm approaching this project is:
1. find something to talk about - must be knowledgeable in this area
2. think about how to present this info - what might associate the subject matter to the audience via ancillary details like color schemas
i dunno... these are just thoughts and i'm sure that once they see some realization, things will change (that just seems to be how it always works!).

Wow, blogging is fun and silly. I like your idea to make your final project about music -- and lutes and those play them. Also, well, of course, beers do come in the prettiest of colors. I personally really like the redder hues. I suspect that after seeing your final project, I will need to duck out to the bar for a beer of every variety -- though, likely to be drunk (drank) from a pint glass -- fishbowls are for fishes!
Good luck,

Yeah, I agree with Lisa. Your final site should be very fascinating, with music and beer. I like beers too, but rarely pay attention to their colors. I will wait to see your final site and see how it would look like to apply the natural colors of beers and guitars to a website.

Music and beer simply go hand-in-hand. Great idea.
