Title: Marijuana Harms Families
Summary: A multimodal website featuring text and
video. This site show the perspective of the debate from the anti-marijuana
side. This site targets families and focuses on how marijuana will damage our
children. The visual choices they made will be analyzed to compare to the
pro-marijuana websites.
Rights: existing asset. Fair use should cover it
because I'm using it for educational analysis and it is based off factual
evidence.

Title: Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana
Summary: This site takes a more friendly approach
to target its voters with warm colors. However, it does immediately bring
children into the front of the debate like the other anti-pot website. They
both use the same strategy to target the audience but go about it in different
ways. I will try to determine which is more successful during analysis.
Rights: Original asset. Sponsored by the Fair
Political Practices Commission.

Title: Just Say Now.com
Summary: Provides a lot of images from the very
beginning. It seems obvious that they are trying to get your attention. They
then approach the call to action links which encourage people to call voters,
buy t-shirts, etc. It seems al lot like the campaign sites looked at in class
and this connection will be expanded on during analysis.
Rights: the site itself seems to be an Original
asset but the articles it features are all from separate publications. I think
fair use covers these because only small portions will be sampled and for
educational purposes.

Title: Norml- Working to refor marijuana laws
Summary: This site focuses on reports concerning
the marijuana debate. The site offers statistics on the states that are
considering these reforms. Again it is laid out like the potential governors'
websites. While the other was all about action, this site separates by talking
about specific laws and using more political jargon.
Rights: Existing asset. Fair use should cover the
use based on the nature of my project and the website is based on factual
information. I won't be taking their opinions, just their facts.
Author: Campaign to Regulate Marijuana like
Alcohol
Title: YES on 64- Campaign to Regulate Marijuana
like Alcohol.
Summary: Focuses directly on one amendment that is
trying to be passed in Colorado. The site gives details about what the amendment
will do and possible outcomes if it's passed. This site doesn't try to distract
or attract its viewers. It provides clear information with color that isn't
normally related to the weed debate. It offers simple links to events but the
professional nature of the site makes their arguments much more believable than
some other sites.
Rights: Existing asset. Fair use will cover my use
because of the educational nature of my project and the factual nature of this
website.
Part 3
I will use an MLA format for the sources because
it is a widely recognized style that includes all important information.
