South American Leaders

For my INFO 652 Internet Resource Design project, I will create websites of 20th, and 21st century leaders from South America. This project will include 5-8 different websites of South America's most well known leaders. Websites will include a biography, significance of Presidency, book reviews, and additional links.

I majored in Latin American History as an undergrad at Stockton College. All of these countries fascinate me and I want to learn more about them. My purpose behind making these websites is to inform users about Latin American leaders and its wonderful history. I excluded Guyana, French Guyana, and Dutch Suriname because very little information exists on these countries.

The webpages will have various titles elucidating each Presidents' significance in their respective countries. Chile will be called Chile's Socialist Experiment Gone Awry, Peru and Fujimori: A Nation In Jeopardy, Stroessner's Country, and Chavez: Dictatorship or Democracy?

My ideas for the color palettes will include the counrty's flags. So, Peru would be red and white. A couple problems arise because Colombia and Venezuela share the same colors. Also, not all the flags are eye-pleasing.
