Anticipated Fantasy

Fans. We are like peasants that admire and praise the king. Our most treasured fantasy is the day when we will come across the most important person in the world to us , our king. We will bow down to him like no one else has, with tears of joy streaming down our eyes. The atmosphere will be tense, and he’ll be terrified, as we devote every breath we take entirely to him. Our lives will never be the same and we will remember this wonderful day for ever. I wish this could happen to me but it is not possible, for now this is just my most anticipated fantasy. I have to settle down with exploring my “kings” website, because it’s not just one king , but four. Their name is Aventura, it’s latin, meaning adventure in English. They are one of the most famous “bachatateros” ever in Latin America. Bachata is one genre in Latin music, with a very smooth and sensual rhythm to it. Right now, their website (aventuraworldwide.com)is the only thing that can fulfill the emptiness inside of me. Aventura’s site is perfectly designed to meet their fans needs, but mostly mine because I am their most loyal fan. This is an essential convention to a website because if you can’t please your audience why would anyone want to visit it? If a person is not satisfied with what they have witnessed they’ll never want visit that site again, unless they are forced to. Aventuraworldwide.com gives me everything I want to know about my “kings.” It provides me with pictures, music videos , tour dates, songs lyrics, latest news, souvenirs, and even a biography. It doesn’t leave me with any questions because the information is all there. Sometimes, when people visit a website, disappointment fills their thoughts because they get nothing out of it , but I’m left answers and satisfaction. The focal point of the website is Aventura because the whole site focuses only on them. When you find yourself in their territory you will soon realize that they’re the sun that lights up the world. As you get the first glimpse of their “world” you see a huge photo, of them, before anything else. Even though Aventura looks amazing in this picture It’s an obstacle when it comes to simple navigation, another important convention. It should not be there because when this photo pops up you feel puzzled, and then you ask yourself “is this all there is?” without noticing the link that is at the bottom of the page. To see the link you have to scroll down a little until you can clearly acknowledge it, which is annoying. Remember that one of the greatest Bachata groups out there is Aventura. If you are ever have an urge to listen to their music please log on to www.aventuraworldwide.com. Not only is their music amazing, but their website is to, because it doesn’t leave you empty handed, and it always gives you what you want. It also follows website conventions like navigation and visitors needs. If listening to Bachata is boring then you don’t have to worry because the dance steps go something like this: 1,2 and pop.

I am not sure I have ever heard anyone as passionate about a website as yourself. As you mentioned one major conventions of the website is to appeal to the audience and its needs. Well after reading how it appeals to you it must be doing its job as a site. Its really interesting to read what you wrote as that is not something I am at all familiar with, or with having my inner most needs met in a web site. I don't care much for the computer so it is very interesting to read someone write about it as you do.
