Research | Content in detail

I began my basic research by saying I would like to look into these:


  • What animals are found there
  • Plants that live there
  • Soil types (if any) 
  • Air pressure/ Density
  • Percentages of gases in the air
  • Rock types
  • How they were formed

After some consideration I've decided to go with this list:
  • What animals are found there
  • Air pressure/ Density
  • Rock types
  • How they were formed

Its only slightly shorter, but it concerns me that i won't be able to get the content together quickly enough to get the design on its way before its too late. 

Organisation of information will go like this. Air pressure and density will be part of the navigation, shown through a PSI gauge on the navigation as well as height above sea level. Animals, formation and rock types will be all part of the main content of the products.

Although many claim it to be unreliable, there is a large bibliography at the end of the Wikipedia page to back up the information displayed in this web page, and with a wealth of information available with such ease I think it will have its uses. Team Everest webpage has some interesting information about the routes up the mountain, and general information that might be helpful to show in my product.

The Britannica website is by far the most reliable source of information, and as the brief states our information must be "factually correct" I will rely on this source the most. It is by far the worst source in terms of usability but its the biggest source of information I've found to date with 14 pages stacked with information on Everest and its Geology.
